We didn't have the opportunity to meet with Ricardo however we were able to stay in Communication. The house was just right for us and well located just a Block away from a metro station which take you basically anywhere one wants to go in the city of México. His neighbors looking after the house were great and ready to assist in any way they could. I would again stay at Ricardo' place when visiting the city. *just one thing though... No laundry was available... So keep in mind you may have to find a public one.
