We had such a great week at Erika's place! It became our home away from home for the week, and we loved returning every night.
Felt welcomed from the start, both from the host and then with the building staff. The apartment was cozy and a nice place to spend time. The view! Special and worth it. Sometimes noise from cars -- but it's the city! Some streets around are sparse of shops or stalls, but so much is there if you explore. We were particularly fond of the vendors on Ponciano Arriaga, especially the pastor taco stall up a few blocks.
When we rented bikes from Poray up the street because we were unable to use the nearby bike share system, Erika arranged for us to be able to store our rental bikes in the building's parking garage. It was a great help! On Sunday, Reforma shut down to cars and thousands of folks rode their bikes. Was a true joy to be living right next to that and to have bikes to ride on it as well.
The pool must not go unmentioned. Yes, the reservation system added complication to our day's schedule but it was always easy to make a reservation. When we used the pool, there were always only one or two other people; sometimes we had the pool to ourselves. (Pool doubled as a lovely garden space as well.)
All in all, we loved our stay here and wouldn't hesitate to return.
