Paulina's apartment is in a fantastic location to explore the Centro Historico and surrounding areas of Mexico City. I stayed there for 10 days and felt utterly pampered to be in such a lovely apartment and building. I used the pool which was never crowded and there are several nice common areas to relax when you want to get away from the hustle of the city. Paulina's sister met me the first day, oriented me and made me feel completely at home. They were also extremely accomodating of our travel schedule and were available to answer any and all questions. The restaurants on the street just outside the building on Indpendencia are hidden jewels in the centro There is a lovely pizza place, Romina's, a great French cafe for breakfast or a quick snack, Noisette and several amazing coffee places (including Noisette.) The apartment is super comfortable and well appointed. The bathrooms (being American, this is always a big deal for me) were impeccable. Really nice and functional with steaming hot water! The only small downside is that you only have internet access in the main lobby 14 floors down so having personal Skype conversations was hard but that was more than made up for. Paulina's sister kindly offered us a wireless modem but it was too slow to use Skype. This is a pretty common issue in Mexico City so I was not that surprised. If you decide to stay here, you will be happy you did.
