Gabriela and her husband are very nice and helpful people. She gave me a metro card which is so much cheaper than Ubering and they let me use his laptop to find bus information for trips I wanted to take from there. They were respectful and cautious of me going to sleep early bc I was exhausted after running around all day. I wish I had more time to socialize with them.
This was a great location if you are trying to go to all different parts of CDMX as it's right in the middle. You're less than ~20min uber or 1 hour metro from anywhere in the city. Before coming I had read that this wasn't a great area but I walked around during all times of the day and night and never felt unsafe and I'm as white and skinny as you can be lol. I am only jealous that places like Coyoacan have better places to eat at night. But here there are 2 metros fairly close that can take you anywhere. Its so safe because you have a separate key to get into the complex, the building, your apartment and your room.
The apartment itself was good. I was worried there would be a lot of outside noise but there wasn't. It was pretty cold even though it got as hot as 70 F and I wore a sweatshirt the whole time (being from Michigan, USA that is saying something). They do have hot water, good internet, one person bed in my own room with own closet, no pets. They have a tv, washer, hang dry clothing, can use their refridgerator, dishes, stove, and really everything they have. I asked if she could give me a towel for my stay and she did. I would stay there again if I came back. Thank you for your hospitality!
