On balance we had a good stay. There were pros and cons: a door lock needed to be repaired; info on location of laundry and of a nearby store were incorrect or out of date; kitchen was adequate but not very well equipped; most of all, the host was an absentee whom we never met or saw. The pros outweighed the cons, however. The building was a grand old place, interestingly restored, and in an ideal location for visitors to Mexico City; the apartment was extremely clean and adequately furnished; although the owner was not present, the building staff were very helpful and friendly and the owner responded promptly to email. In sum, we would stay at this apartment again for a visit to the historic center of Mexico City.
