We couldn't have picked a better place than Julieta's for our first visit to Mexico City. Practically speaking, the place is very conveniently located: 15 minutes walking distance from Coyoacan centre (with tons of great restaurants, music bars, and street food vendors), 2 minutes from the nearest trolley/bus station and about 15 minutes walking to the nearest metro station. We walked a lot and we did so at night as well, and felt perfectly safe. It is a charming neighborhood, and if you want to see Trotsky and Frida's houses, this is the place to be. Julieta's apartment itself is sunny and beautifully decorated, made more wonderful by her kindness and enthusiasm. We chatted over wine together on our last evening with Julieta, Marco and Anna (the other woman who boards there) and Conor and I both left with the fondest memories of them. We don't speak much Spanish but with Julieta communicates very well in English; we also arrived on very short notice (overnight plan) and everything was perfectly ready and welcoming for us when we arrived. I would recommend staying with Julieta highly.
