Just like the other reviews mention, Ricardo and Alejandra are excellent hosts that go above and beyond to ensure you are comfortable and have everything you need. My favorite thing was the water filter in the kitchen--so convenient. Wi-Fi was great, we watched cable during down time when we needed to rest and there are local restaurants within walking distance. We felt absolutely safe and opted to walk to the heart of Condesa on several occasions. The proximity to Condesa and Roma is great as we wanted to spend time in these two colonias. Ricardo recommended La Imperial for shows--we had the best time here listening to live bands, local and foreign. He also recommended El Califa for tacos al pastor which ended up being the best version we tried during our 9-day trip. All communication, aside from arrival when we met Ricardo and Alejandra + the cutest chihuahua, was via text. It felt like we were consulting with a friend.
The bed was not terribly comfortable for my husband, but he is tall and not light, but it was manageable. I had no problems with it and slept soundly every night.
We highly recommend Ricardo's apartment if you want to feel like a local and have the best pastries downstairs before heading out to explore the city. The cafe, Corazon Contento, is truly a gem with its resident bees guarding the pastries.
Thank you Ricardo and Alejandra for your hospitality--you helped us enjoy the best of Mexico City. Best wishes...Enri and Syd.
