Like all the other reviews before mine, Ximena is absolutely fabulous. I had so many questions before and during the trip and Ximena always got back to me quickly. As far as the space goes - it's beautiful, comfortable, modern, very clean, spacious and quiet. There are two balconies and shades that open/close with the push of a button. Note that the shades are not "black out" shades and light does come through in the morning. The king size bed was firm and comfortable.

We were able to cook on the gas range in the kitchen and have our own Christmas/Hanukkah dinner at the loft which was really convenient. The place was always a little warm and as there is no air conditioning, Ximena taught us a great trick of opening the front door and door to outside of the building and patio doors (to create a draft) which cooled the place down well in about 20-40 minutes.

Downstairs there is a Nike? shoes store, and a cafe that is also a panadaria (bakery). The location is the best - close to the Diego Rivera murals at the Nacional Palace (free entry) in Zocalo, the Monumento de Revolucion and Mercado de San Juan.

When you are in Mexico use UBER, don't rent a car - unless you are experienced driving there. The loft is about a 30 minute UBER ($4 I think) drive to Frida Kahlo museum, about 15 minute UBER to Polanco (where Pujol is, one of the top 20 restaurants in the world and featured on Chef's Table, but not what it lives up to!), 10 minute UBER to Condesa and 25 min UBER to the airport (under $10 I think - very inexpensive). Please note that these times were during holiday season and they tell me that there normally is much more traffic so it may take longer!

The pool was very clean and warm - probably 85-90 degrees if I could guess. We got massages that were great - remember to pay in cash. The upstairs area has many plants and you feel like you are somewhere tropical. The jacuzzi was great w/jets. There is also a gym with bathrooms.

Some recommendations: Go to Azul Condesa (great food!). Check out Lucha Libre show (w/in walking distance from loft) - we bought tickets for the one hour show for $3.50 USD (70 pesos) each.

Overall, GREAT place. We will definitely come back if we are ever in Mexico City again. Thanks Ximena!
