Jose and Violeta are great hosts. They allow you your privacy but you can ask for help or information when you need it.
Their apartment is well located in Condesa, near Parc Espana, where you can jog, hang out or take a yoga class. It's not far from two metro stations- Sevilla and Chilpancingo or you can take a taxi from the airport and to the Terminal Norte bus station, our option on our way north to San Miguel de Allende.
We discovered two excellent cafes just a block away. Ma is a vegan cafe that's great for breakfast, and Cafe Freims has the best homemade Belgian waffles and coffee in town. These people really know their coffee and the patio is lovely . Another wonderful cafe, where we ate every day, is Delirio, also called Monica Petino, corner of Alvaro Obregon and Monterrey. Good cereal, yogurt and papaya with agave syrup. Eggs, breakfast options; also a good moussaka and chicken with basmati rice and chickpeas.
Good breads to take home.
