Manuel's place is located in the heart of CDMX, and is a great, central spot for seeing the city. This was my first trip to Mexico City, so I do not know how this spot compares to other places, but I do think there are a few things worth noting:
1. There was very loud neighborhood construction that started at 730am every weekday I was there. This is nothing Manuel can control, so I do not fault him for it, but you should be aware there may not be any relaxing mornings snoozing in bed after a night out. Maybe it will be over by the time you are there.
2. Though you will get a key code to enter the apartment, to enter the building, you will always need to buzz in so the doorman can let you in. This is a very secure system, but on days where I came and entered the building many times, I did wish there was a way to enter without constantly relying on the doorman.
Overall, I highly recommend this place. It is compact, but has everything a person could need. Manuel was available and courteous, and the rate was more than reasonable.
