If Mexico City's art and architecture are the reason for your visit, Jose is an exceptional host. My daughter and I visited for just this reason and Jose provided excellent insights on the city, galleries, museums, and sites of interest. We enjoyed chatting with him, seeing his studio, and appreciated the artwork throughout the apartment. His place is a working studio and it reflects the area in general: creative, hip, and a bit gritty. The neighborhood is vibrant at all hours of the night and day. Bring your earplugs. It is also safe. We walked around regularly to all the parks, galleries, restaurants in the area without any issues whatsoever. Cool spot!
