My friend and I loved staying at Sylvia's place. It was very spacious, and the location was ideal. Condesa is a beautiful hip neighborhood filled with coffee shops, bars, leafy streets, great restaurants...

It was a smooth process staying there, and it was especially kind of Sylvia to leave a bottle of wine and a note wishing me a happy birthday (the reason for our trip). She was not there to meet me, but her housekeeper was very nice. It would have been helpful to know she didn't speak English, as I speak barely any Spanish. Still we were able to make ourselves understood. The only small things: 1) It would have been nice to have more space to hang our clothing (two women had a lot of stuff to hang), and 2) the apartment was very cold (Sylvia does provide space heaters, but they took a long time to make a dent). Overall, though, I would absolutely tell anyone looking for a place in Mexico City to stay here, and I would happily stay here again!
