A great host, a great place, and great location. You cannot go wrong to a host who will try to get back to you as soon they can - and this is true for Manuel. I had a few questions during the stay and he tried to replied back as soon as he can. This makes the experience of visiting mexico city more assuring.
The place (area) is big. The pictures does not do justice. I barely use the living/kitchen area as I was not cooking or staying inside the whole time. There is a 24/7 security so you know you are safe.
Location - Zona Rosa, do I need to say more? You are centrally located to almost anything. And if you are into nightlight, you are in the right spot. But yes, once you are inside the crib, you can barely hear anything. As if it was a different world.
Just a note: I was coming from the US and temp was in the low 40 F (or 4 C). The difference on the temp was a big shock. My tolerance on heat is not good so first day was a big rough. The place does not have an AC but you have fans that you can use which I really appreciate. Glad that it rained mid-afternoon the rest of the days I stayed so it was cooler at night.
OVERALL - I recommend Manuel's place. You can not go wrong.
Hope you have the same experience as I have.
