You will not find a better more welcoming host than Mathilde. And you will not find a better location. San Juan de los Pinos is a wonderful neighbor hood. If you patronize the local market, vegetable market, meat market thevlocal coffee place, the local eating places, you will meet Mexico in the best possiblevway. The big supermercado Soriana is also great and nearby if you are in Mexio for a longer time and don't want to eat out . It is vast and I got lost in it, but everyone was always so helpful. The man in the fish section would warn me off fish he thought wasn't fresh. The liquor and wine selection is great. But I could also find my liquor and wine at the local market -- but I had to pay cash. Soriana has ATMs a plenty. The metro stop is nearby. I never conquered the bus system but there is also a major bus stop. I loved coming home after a day of being"a tourist" and feeling completely "at home" .There is a great park nearby where I would take my lunch and work . I will say the aparmtent doesn't get much sun and can be cold. And the length of time one had hot water in the shower was variable. But besides that it was a great place. The kitchen has a stove and burners. A full size refrigerator and a microwave all made my long stay comfortable. Having a washer and drier is great. I added to thekitchen accoutrements so the net long orshort range tenant will find nothing lacking.
Over thetwo months Matilde's home becamemy second homee. But in a way I felt that when I fiist arive. Mtilde's greeting and welcome was so warm and the apartment attractive and unpretentious my whole person relaxed and after two unfortunate apartment experiences in my first week with other BnB sites, I felt I had finally arrived in the right place for me.
