The host is kind and with good intentions, he has put some work into the location and the furniture, big tv's, and things you will need. The location has parking and good security but.. I wouldn't consider it the "heart of polanco". It is walking distance to things but its located in between some things on a dark street near the Corona Beer Factory.. Also the photos are misleading, I assume not on purpose, but they make you feel that you can have the window shades up and enjoy your balcony.. I would say no, because everyone will see everything! I had to live for 21 days with window shades pulled down tight, sealed in tight... If you just need a place to sleep and sit and cook and if you don't plan on being there much its ok...
