Two weeks at Gabriel's afforded my partner and I an opportunity to really get to know Mexico City, as the apartment's proximity to the centre and metro made it easy to go exploring. We managed to check out a good number of his recommendations and were never disappointed. We were so glad we did this instead of heading to a resort. Yes, it is a big city so noise and smog and grit is to be expected, but this apartment, although it's in a busy working neighbourhood, is facing a courtyard full of trees, so we were greeted with birdsong every morning. The only downside of our trip was having our cellphone stolen on the metro, but this was our fault for not guarding it properly. Gabriel's sister Rebeca and her mother were kind enough to walk us to the local police station to make a report. So sweet. The rest if our stay was wonderful. Thank you!
