This was our first trip to the DF, and Jp helped make it very enjoyable. Very friendly, flexible, and responsive host. The apartment is as advertised: cozy and comfortable. It even has a great book selection in English. Escandon is noisier than La Condesa, but it also has a lot of great casual food stalls along Avd Marti that Condesa does not. It's more of an "authentic" DF neighborhood than Condesa, which is the gentrified Brooklyn of Mexico City, but if you want that you're only a 15 minute walk to Park Mexico.
