Great split level apartment in the heart of Escandón. Conveniently located a short walk from the Tacubaya metro station and across the street from a Fire Station, Police Station and Public Health clinic should anything go wrong.
On the corner nearby there's a great cantina with friendly locals and frequently a norteño band. About a 20 min walk from Condesa and 30 min from Parque Chapultepec.
The bedroom has no windows which makes it ideal for a nap any time of day (great if you're jet lagged), and in general the downstairs stays pretty cool even on hotter days. You share the courtyard with a couple families, 3 cats: Junior, Elice and Gato (yes just Gato) and a few turtles who hang out in the sun in a little pen.
There's a spiral staircase to the upper level/kitchen and the roof (Watch you're step here). Jonathan was very responsive during my entire time here whenever I had questions or issues, although in general it a pretty pleasant experience and didn't need too much.
