My stay with José and Violeta was close to perfect. I had chosen this listing for the location, price and most importantly - the hosts. The first two were hard to beat. Perfectly located and very safe on Avenida Amsterdam which is the best place in Condesa. As you are in the back house, it is also very quiet and the only downside to that is that the living room and kitchen is a little dark, but your room is not. The bathroom is just outside your door and be sure to get the trick to the hot water, which somehow I missed :( As they were painting the building during my visit, the patio was unfortunately not in use, but otherwise this is also a nice place just to unwind after walking around all day I am sure. You have full access to use the kitchen and there is a big supermarket just two blocks away. You are just around the corner from the park where you have to go - especially on Sundays if you are there. It is incredible to see how happening it becomes. Your hosts will be perfect communicators - both before and during your visit...very quick at responding to anything you ask. José and Violeta are a loving couple that will do all they can to make sure you enjoy your stay and to feel like a local you are even allowed to take cute Elso for walks...highly recommendable. He is very cute and well trained :) Otherwise if comfortable on bikes I totally recommend using the bike system getting around La Roma y Condesa...the hot spot of Mexico City....you will have an amazing smorgasbord of restaurants, cafés and bars at your disposal!
