Marcia’s apartment is a great place to stay in the historic center of Mexico City. Walk to many sights and restaurants and also close to the Metro stops. Ubers arrived within a couple of minutes (and they are a good and inexpensive way to get around, except when there’s bad traffic, in which case, take Metro.). The neighborhood was very safe and lively. We had our last dinner at Limosneros, a few blocks from the apartment. I think it was better than Pujol at about ⅓ the price! Also enjoyed El Cardenas for a decadent breakfast. There is a nice, local coffee house across the street, which we frequented over Starbucks, which is on the nearest corner.
The apartment is roomy, stylish and sparkling clean. The building is a converted factory turned into hip apartments. There is a 24-hour guard in the lobby. Although the apartment is only one floor up, facing the street, we were not bothered by noise as the windows have a tight seal. In warmer weather when you want to keep the windows open, it might be different. Bed is big and firm (not too firm for me and I generally like foam mattresses). There is a sofa bed in the living room. Four people could share this apartment, which would make it super-affordable. Hot water tank is not big, so you need to use moderate pressure in the shower if you want it to last. WiFi worked fine. (There is no TV.)
We didn’t get to meet Marcia, but she was very responsive and gave us all the information we needed in a very timely fashion. When we ran out of things, she had them restocked immediately. As we stayed for a week, Marcia had the linens changed and the apartment cleaned during our stay.
In short, Marcia’s apartment is a great place to stay and we would return in a heartbeat if we were visiting Mexico City!
