While the location in what taxi drivers called a "calle brava" might not be ideal for some tourists, it suited me perfectly. Only a few blocks from the zocalo in a fascinating working-class neighborhood, it is away from the noisy avenues, at least not when there isn't a wrestling match going on next door. The building and apartment are small and stylish, with panoramic views from the rooftop. The bed is cozy and the windows and bathroom are great. Don't expect to be cooking up any feasts in the well-appointed but tiny kitchen, but there's a world of delicious food just downstairs.
