I stayed at Maria Jose's place while visiting Mexico City for the first time. The trip was great but of course intense in such a big city. Being at Maria Jose's made the trip such a pleasure. It was easy to walk from her place to eat, shop for groceries, take the bus or metro. The parks near her place are beautiful and I felt comfortable walking in the evening on my own. Maria Jose was great to communicate with and has a wonderful home that she makes easy to be in.
