I had a great stay at Bruce's apartment near Alameda Central and the Palacio de Bellas Artes. It was located in a modern complex, pretty much next to the Museo de Popular Arte and is easy walking distance to the Zocalo and lots of tourist attractions. Bruce's assistant, Roberto, came to meet me on arrival and went through all of the facilities in the apartment, building and neighbourhood, and left me with a local mobile phone. It was very reassuring to have all of this assistance, having just arrived in Mexico City.

It was pretty quiet in the apartment which was a good change for my holiday. Mexco City is a bustling city and there is always a lot of activity going on outside, so not facing the street is a real advantage (the windows look out onto an internal courtyard garden). It was very nice to get an uninterrupted night's sleep, for once! Overall the apartment was just a really nice, comfortable place to stay, with great facilities and hosting for a hassle free stay. Much better value than paying for an expensive hotel!
