Pros: My girlfriend and I stayed here for a month in 2016. Very pleasant experience. Apartment is bright, vintage and in a small, cute building built in the 1930's. Building is in very good condition, restored. Well furnished, fully-stocked kitchen. On second floor, bedroom window opens to street. Interior windows open to two separate interior courtyards. Original stained glass and windows. Good security, double iron gates.

Apartment is located in Colonia Juarez, an excellent walkable neighborhood full of grand old mansions. Close by to a major Metro station. Also within walking distance to Roma Norte and Condesa neighborhoods. Plenty of options nearby for food, bars, shopping, and banks. Uber drivers are freely available if you don't feel like walking.

Small high-quality restaurant called Teo Lunchenette is located downstairs in the same building. It's open from 9 AM - 6 PM, and has excellent food and friendly customer service. It's like having your own personal chef team downstairs - very nice.

Margarita & Rafa were excellent & flexible hosts. They greeted us (early in the morning) when we arrived at their place on our first day in DF. After making sure we were all set, Rafa even paid for our first breakfast at Teo! Besides being friendly, they also provided us with their phone numbers for easy communication - so we were able to quickly resolve any problems. They also provided us with weekly maid cleaning for a small extra fee. Later, Margarita even helped me out with something after I'd moved out of the apartment, when she didn't have to.

Cons: Noise - this apartment can get noisy, especially during the day. It's located near a busy street (Chapultepec). But noise is part of living in Mexico City. The noise wasn't the hosts fault, there is nothing she can do about it. And so just know that it will be part of your experience here. Mosquitos - we had a problem with mosquitos when we first arrived. But Margarita was quick to provide us with anti-mosquito devices, which cleared up the problem. Washer - the washing machine is a bit old and un-reliable. Margarita did mention she may be installing a new washing machine soon, so this problem may already be fixed. WiFi - the wireless internet can be a bit spotty and slow at times. But the restaurant downstairs has free WiFi as a backup, so it's no big deal.
