I stayed in Andres’ apartment for about a month in April and May of 2014, while I was in town for work. It’s a great property and Andres is an awesome host. This place is located right on Paseo de la Reforma, which is one of the main boulevards in Mexico City. Andres’ place is right on the edge of the Zona Rosa, with all of its diversions, such as bars, restaurants, clubs and shopping. The Reforma 222, a new shopping center, is just a block or two away, with its modern amenities including a multi-plex movie theater. The American Embassy is just across the street and other Embassy’s are withinin walking distance. Bus transportation to the historic center, Polanco or other parts of town is right out the front door and nearby metro stations will take you wherever you want to go in the Federal District.

Andres was very helpful and a conscientious host. The first night I was to stay there was the night the Comision Federal de Electricidad (CFE), the state-owned electric company, had decided to do some repair work on the grid in the neighborhood. To prevent me from being inconvenienced, Andres paid for a night’s lodging for me at the nearby Sheraton Hotel.

His apartment is also first class, with new appliances, a washer and dryer and a nice entertainment system complete with Apple TV. An added bonus is the very nice pool, weight room and Jacuzzi.

I experienced three earthquakes during this visit to Mexico – two of them while I was in the apartment. I can report that the building is solid and took the jolts without sustaining any structural damage. Andres was outside the country for the first tremor, which happened on Good Friday, however his family was very attentive and responded quickly to ensure all was well. The management of the building was also speedy in their reaction and evaluation of the quake’s effect on the building, which was nil. I felt reassured by the professionalism and rapid response with which everyone responded to this unnerving event.

I would definitely rent this awesome apartment, again. Thanks Andres!
