We spent 8 days in Marco's flat in La Roma and had a wonderful time. The apartment is roomy, bright, clean and very comfortable. The kitchen was well equipped, and the nearby market was convenient. Marco was out of town, but in regular touch via email and text to answer questions, give suggestions and give general help with the apartment and the neighborhood. His suggestion of hiring Osvaldo Chavarria as a guide for a visit to Teotihuacan was excellent. Osvaldo was a great guide, reasonably priced, with lots of information about the City, Teotihuacan, and Mexico in general. We also asked him to take us to the airport at the end of the stay.

Marco's claim of "best location" turned out to be true for us. We'd stayed in Condesa before, but we loved the chance to explore La Roma, which seems a bit more hip and artsy. The easy walk to both the MetroBus and the Metro made getting around the City easy, as did the convenient taxi stand in the Fuentes Cibeles circle, right out the front door.

We expect to be in Mexico City again next year or the year after, and will certainly be in touch with Marco about staying at 56 Oaxaca then.
