Boutique hotels are all the rage, and I would say that Alejandro's place is a "boutique hostel"... it's a super cool place... each floor has several private rooms and 2 shared bathrooms... it's very clean and it definitely felt very secure... also, the location is amazing... you can walk to 500 very good restaurants and bars, and they have everything from super affordable but awesome street food to very high end places... also, they have a street cart cafe right outside the door with the best selection of tea I've found anywhere in the whole city, and they are able to serve hot tea or iced tea... I love iced tea, and it's not so easy to find here, so I was super happy about that... there's also a sit down cafe literally next door that has the very best chilaquiles (a fantastic Mexican breakfast specialty for the uninitiated) I've ever had... in short, I highly recommend this place... it's affordable like a hostel but "cute" (and secure) like one of the far more expensive boutique hotels in the area... muchas gracias, Alejandro!!
