This was the first time that I have ever rented an apartment for a vacation stay, and it was a great experience. Although I did not have the opportunity to personally meet Nicholas (he was away on vacation himself), throughout the reservation process he was very helpful, and he answered my questions very promptly. He arranged for a friend to be there upon my arrival to give me the keys and to help me get settled in.

The apartment is very pleasant, spacious, comfortable and homey. His ecletic collection of artwork adds a lot of personality to the place. The cleaning lady comes in once a week and gives everything a thorough cleaning. Nicholas had a more than adequate supply of jugs of purified water on hand. No need to go out and buy bottled water.

The neighborhood is very interesting with a lot of wonderful architecture and an "trendy", upper middle class atmosphere. I felt safe walking around even late at night. There are a lot of restaurants in the area. It would take you months to try them all. Everything you need... supermarket, pharmacy, ATM, laundry, etc... is within walking distance, and the bus stop and subway station are close so that you can easily get to other parts of the city.

I loved having my own refuge amid the hustle and bustle of Mexico City, and I definitely hope to return!
