The room, apartment, and neighborhood are exactly as described: quiet, comfortable, clean, and close to UNAM. Lots of amenities nearby, and ease of access to public transportation. Cleaning person comes at least once a week, and there's laundry in the unit (included in the rent).

Edna and her husband were very helpful and responsive to questions. There were one or two small hiccups during my 3 week stay, but they really went above and beyond in their efforts to make amends and, really, were overall just fantastically generous. They actually let me check in 2 days early and didn't charge me (I slept in a small, non-bedroom room those 2 days, but it had a bunk bed and was comfortable and WAY better than my friend's couch. i would have happily paid, but they refused).

The rent for a month here is actually on par with (or cheaper) than staying in a hostel, which kind of blows my mind. It's pretty much a student boarding-house type of scenario (4 bedroom apartment, housing primarily students; the owners live off-site), but all my roommates were pretty quiet and respectful. These aren't party-animal students, they're folks who are serious about learning spanish, and are focused on their work (ie, not a lot of noise, plenty of studying, and the occasional friendly conversation). This isn't a bed-and-breakfast or service-oriented home share; it's clean, spartan, and it's fantastic for a few weeks of privacy, peace and quiet -- especially if you've been living in hostels and on sofas for a while.

ENJOY!
