Lisi and Luis were amazing hosts--very communicative and organized. I did quite a bit of research before our trip, only to find many of the articles I read printed out and laminated, hanging on a rack in the kitchen. Their restaurant recommendations were spot on, all of our favorites were on their list. Getting to the apartment was easy (we took a taxi from the airport, but walked, took the metro or used uber for the rest of our trip).
The apartment itself was perfect--we loved starting our days with coffee on the roof deck and having a home base to come back to in between outings. The location couldn't be better--literally next door to Lalo and a block away from Maximo Bistro. The neighborhood is quiet and tree lined but filled with cafes, restaurants, etc. The closest metro, Insurgentes, is only a ten minute walk away.
We spent five days in Mexico City, and Luis and Lisi checked in on us throughout our stay. They set us up with all the essentials--maps, water, coffee, a few beers, a metro card and a cell phone. We didn't end up using the cell phone because we made restaurant reservations on open table and used uber instead of taxis, but still a really nice gesture.
We went to Puebla for two days after the city, a side trip we would definitely skip the next time around. There's so much to see and do (and eat!) in Mexico City, we can't wait to return. Thank you Luis and Lisi for the warm welcome to your incredible city!
