It was Alonso’s mother who hosted me and she was gracious, helpful and friendly. A mattress on the floor was fine for a night and the room was well equipped with a view of the church on Patriotismo, a useful landmark to clock as the street is hard to find and a good 10=15 minute walk from Condesa central where there are nice restaurants. The big bus stop at the start of the street is another useful landmark. Patriotismo metro is also close by at the other end of the street and right..
