The description was very accurate and the neighborhood was great - lots of cafes and restaurants nearby. Very close a main street, Alvaro Obregon, and then all the other streets were also a lot of fun to explore. As for transportation, we used Uber throughout the trip as it was super cheap, easy and safe!

Dalia was an incredibly warm and responsive host. She answered many of my questions before we arrived and was available by text and airbnb messaging throughout my stay. Her friend helped check us in and she too was so helpful with directions, maps, suggestions. They both really went out of their way to make us feel welcome in the apartment.

Other things to note:
-I was worried about it being too hot in the apartment without air conditioning, but even in 80+ heat outside, the apartment stayed relatively cool and breezy with the windows open.
-The apartment had a 24 guard who unlocked the gates for us as soon we arrived which made us feel very safe, especially if we were coming home late at night.

With help from Dalia's friend, we suggest these tourist stops:
-Teotihuacan with the help of her friend. It was an easy uber ride to the bus terminal and then a painless trip by bus to the pyramids and back. -We also uber-ed to Frida Kahlo's house which was incredible!
-If you're foodies, we suggest getting reservations at Quintonil and/or Pujol in Polanco!
-As for markets, visit La Cuidadela - it's the only stop you need for souvenirs.
