Francisco's place was lovely - modern, with bright and funky art, and a spacious living and dining room area. It's well located in the heart of the Centro Histórico (just blocks from the Zocalo). As soon as we stepped onto the street we were swept up in crowds and immersed in city life, but it was quiet inside and we slept comfortably. The kitchen and bathroom had all the amenities we needed, including pots and pans, and plenty of bottled water. Francisco is a friendly and deeply knowledgeable guide to the city; he offered many recommendations on cultural attractions, restaurants and bars in the area, and was available if we needed anything. Francisco was also very quick with responses to our messages, and when a family emergency changed our travel plans, he was very easy to work with to change our reservation. Our only complaint is that the apartment lacks heat and A/C (most apartments in Mexico City don't) and it could get very cold during winter (we ended up borrowing a space heater from a friend). Francisco is a great host, we certainly recommend Francisco's place for anyone who wants to be close to the action.
