This apartment is perfect for anyone who wants the best imaginable location - and conditions - to visit the rejuvenated heart of Mexico City, the Centro Historico. Located in Revillagigedo, a stone's thrown from the Alemada Park, and alongside the Hilton Hotel, you are within easy strolling distance of Bellas Artes and the Zocalo, great museums, wonderful shopping and two key Metro stations, Bellas Artes and Hidalgo. The apartment, No4D, is on the fourth flour, Tower One, of this modern block. There are two key entrances - on Revillagigedo and Independencia - with helpful, courteous 24 hour concierges. The absentee host, Gonzalo Coello, is a great communicator and does everything he can to ensure you are well informed ahead of your stay. His on the ground representative, Juan Pablo Ramirez, is a phone call away if you need help with anything. He came to meet and greet us, and settle us into the delightful two bedroom apartment, which has all the mod cons, from air conditioning to cable TV. Juan Pablo also provided on behalf of the host a mobile to use during our stay, which was easily recharged at the nearest Seven Eleven. The apartment has access to a 9th floor pool (get there early or it might be crowded) and to a very efficient and inexpensive laundry and dry cleaning service. Our favourite local restaurant, Los Girasoles, is a few hundred metres away, and there's a little supermarket an easy stroll around the corner in Balderas, but ask directions, as the entrance is not immediately obvious. You can walk, if you are energetic, to the wonderful artesan market, La Ciudadela. You will also find some wonderful bargains just up the street in the Alemada Park. In short this apartment was the perfect base for my wife and I to rediscover the beauty and vibrance of Mexico. We are most grateful to Gonzalo and to Juan Pablo for their consideration and assistance, which made
our stay one to to remember.
