Maria is as friendly and warm as you would hope a friend to be never mind a host. Helpful, joyous and accommodating. We had wonderful conversations on Oaxacan history, culture and music, and Mexico and life in general. The room is very spacious, clean, and comfortable, and Maria even welcomes your mornings with a coffee. Great experience, and a good location to wander around the south central part of DF. The large balcony is also a very welcome plus on balmy evenings.
