I can't say enough good things about our host, Olivia. I asked her many questions before and after we arrived. She always took the time to answer them thoroughly and she was proactive in asking about our day and if we needed anything. Still, she was never obtrusive. As first time visitors to Mexico City, we really appreciated Olivia's warmth and generosity of spirit.
The place is almost exactly as described except that there is more space for sitting outside than shows in the photos. There's a clothes line, washer and extra table there, that while not fancy, gave me room to my morning exercise. Kitchen is small, but has he basics, and if you need anything extra just ask Olivia. Why cook, anyway, when there's a restaurant right across the street plus many more in this picturesque neighborhood.
Note the narrow, winding staircase as accurately described.
