From the moment we booked our stay, Maris reached out with information about her apartment, it's location and how to get there from the airport. Upon our arrival, Maris warmly welcomed us and explained in detail every aspect of the apartment, public transportation around us and within the city and wrote out an extensive list of places to eat, drink and read. The listing was accurate, although I don't think the pictures do the apartment justice. The space is clean, comfortable, roomy and bright with unique artwork, large plants, great bed and hot shower. We loved the sounds of the city with the windows open and rested comfortably in the calm of the night with the windows closed. There is ample space to relax, cook and live like you would in your own home. Although I wouldn't consider the area "touristy", it is definitely centrally located. The neighborhood was a safe area and most definitely a city street. We walked all the way to and from the centro one day (about 30 min walk one way) and walked back and forth around the neighborhood at all hours to eat, take the metro, etc. The metro and metro bus are a block away and the Monumento a la Revolución is minutes away (great view of the monument from the roof) We loved every moment of our time in DF and would without a doubt stay in Maris' beautiful apartment again or would recommend it to anyone traveling to this amazing city!
