Antonio was the perfect host. Communication with him was as easy as texting! When I arrived he was waiting for me outside. I was in a lot of pain from a very bad fall and he gave me lots of attention. He made me feel at home, from getting me something to drink and putting my luggage away to inviting me out to dinner which was very sweet of him! His place is a luxury boutique apartment in Polanco the most expensive neighborhood in Mexico City. It's New York City's ritzy 5th ave or Park Ave at an affordable price. The room is amazing. The listing does not describe the place completely. He lives in a private building with elevator and tons of amenities, in a safe neighborhood. Once you enter the apartment the lights go on, no scrambling for a light switch. As you keep walking more lights go on. I really loved this! His place is spotless a cleaning lady comes in daily to clean. He has lots of art in his living room. Everything was brand new! The towels still had their tickets on them, bed sheets and bed all new. Antonio gave me access to 2 bathrooms which were super clean with everything I needed shampoo, soap etc. Water temperature was excellent. He also has a room with coffee, refrigerator and microwave. The weather was cool so no need for a fan but he did provide one. Wi-fi was excellent. Antonio gave me a tour of his neighborhood after I settled in. And being new to his city I did appreciate that. Everything is super close. Next door to his house is Superama a 24 hour supermarket that was super cheap, loved going there late at night for snacks. Shopping mall is about 5 minutes walking and Starbucks etc. Mall has Chedraui which is equivalent to Kmart or Walmart in USA. And they have a huge Costco too. I was really impressed. Everything is cheap considering the area I was staying at. Tourist spots were about 5-10 minutes by cab, but you can walk too. Cabs were cheap about $30 pesos ($2 USA) ($45 approximately with tip) Polanquito is close also walking or by cab. It is a trendy section of Polanco with restaurants etc. I highly recommend staying at Antonios. He is a great host with a big heart and a lovely spacious home, he is very affordable too. I really felt like I was with family and I will be planning my next trip with Antonio es my host. There is so much more for him to show me of his lovely town.

Gracias Antonio por todo! Gracias por cuidarme cuando mas necesitaba el cuido. Regreso a tu casa! Eres un angel!!
