Rodrigo was a great host. All communication was via email and he was always helpful and cheerful. The photos are a perfect representation of the space and of the neighborhood. Got the key from the doorman and he even helped me with my bags. I had dinner at the restaurant downstairs twice and I enjoyed it very much. And every morning I had a latte and a croissant in the coffee shop courtyard next door. I couldn't imagine a better place to stay in Mexico City . . .
But that's for me. I live in a corner apartment above the ballroom of a large hotel. I like activity and the sounds of nightlife and the noise of a city. Rodrigo warned me about the nearby construction. More tapping of hammers than of heavy machinery and it didn't disturb me at all. But that's me.
I brought bug spray, but never used it because only one mosquito found me. And I left the windows open all night.
A few observations about Mexico City: Next time I'll use the taxi stand, Sitio Niza, at the corner of Marsella and Harve, more often. (At 150 pesos to the airport, I highly recommend them.) I was told not to hail taxis on the street, so I walked a lot and rode the subway. The Metro is fast and cheap and the trains arrive at decent intervals, but it's crowded and there aren't a lot of stations. So taking the Metro requires some walking and a lot of map reading. Next time I'll use Sitio Niza more when I have a specific destination in mind . . .
I love street food and Mexico City has an abundance of vendors, but use extreme caution. I got sick and I suspect it was from juice or condiments. I have a cast iron constitution and I was surprised I got sick, but I brought antibiotics and I was laid up for only one day. Luckily I got to recover in Rodrigo's smartly designed space . . .
