This apartment was a little gem in the middle of the historic center of Mexico City. As first time travelers to Mexico City this was a very good neighborhood to be in as it was walking distance to the Zócalo and the pedestrian malls which had an abundance of stores and restaurants. And street entertainment which was very pleasant. The building is very nicely restored but the historic charm is kept in the lobby. The apartment itself is very modern and compact but plenty large enough for two people. The furnishings were modern and comfortable. The kitchen was equipped if one chose to cook in although we mainly just ate breakfast in. For the most part the building was quiet and we had no trouble with noise or unruly neighbors. Alex and May were very responsive any time we contacted them. I would highly recommend this apartment in the historic center of Mexico City.
