After searching through I-don't-rememember-how-many pages of available apartments in Condesa neighborhood, I finally found Roberto's place which showed something other than black/gray/stark/uncomfortable-looking furniture. His place was colorful, and one could sink into the comfortable (red) sofa. The view was to-die-for -- perfect for relaxing with a glass of wine or a computer after a day of enjoying Mexico City. Another plus (a "must" on my list for renting) was a private outdoor patio (even though I didn't use it, as the sofa was so comfortable beside a large window with a great view) and an outdoor green space. (The complex also had a pool and exercise room, although I didn't use those.) Mattresses and pillows were comfortable (yay!). It's a lovely neighborhood -- felt very safe for walking, even at night, as neighbors were strolling with their dogs on the tree-lined center path, and it was well lit. I will rent this apartment again when I return to Mexico City.
