The hosts are fantastic. They answered so many questions for me before I even arrived, and also organized the recommended driver (Alfredo) since my Spanish is very limited. He was awesome, definitely go for the bit extra to have him meet you inside the airport!
The location is perfect for seeing the Historical Center District, easy access to the Zócalo and a number of great restaurants. Uber is extremely inexpensive, so I'm not even sure where the Metro stops are, but I believe they're pretty close. There are numerous pharmacies, bodegas, and a very happening college night scene within a few blocks radius. The Farmacia París is the location I used for a drop-off point in Uber, and is a place we frequented regularly to buy large bottles of water for brushing our teeth, drinking, and washing fruit. I also picked up extra toilet paper, a bar of Dove soap, tooth paste and some other things I never waste space with when packing.
The phone ringing up the tall shaft next to the bedroom window is a bit annoying, especially at 6am, and the amount of noise that can be heard when people are in the halls or have their internal windows open is quite loud. But other than that, we found the apartment to be exactly what we needed. There were more than enough towels, blankets, and pillows for the two of us, and the bed was very comfortable. Alice was amazing and very very prompt with getting back to me about all my various questions, even sometimes later at night than I would have ever responded! She was awesome! I'd definitely recommend this apartment and this location for an introduction to Mexico City.
