Everything that Sandro (as host) and his team (on and off site) did made the experience very easy and enjoyable. The directions, the quick responses to questions, the neighborhood, the apartment and building were all as expected and pleasant.

We particularly liked the size of the kitchen so we could prepare meals there and with the short distance to a great grocery store, it was a perfect way to save money and not eat out for every meal. It is important to note that Mexico does pastries and breads better than most and Pastelería Suiza is on the way to the supermarket.

Although the bedroom does not have its own private room, it is dark enough that the morning sun does not wake you up; that was a pleasant surprise. There is sufficient closet space and the bathroom is very large but could simply use a chair or bench for changing or hanging clothes.

The balcony is not private but is perfect for Mexico City weather and we could enjoy time sitting out and relaxing with a cup of coffee, tea, and sweet breads provided by Sandro. In addition, the living area was equally comfortable and the TV worked well and had music stations available as well as many different channels.

Finally, the neighborhood is safe and fun and a fairly central location for many day trips and museum/history excursions. If you wanted to stay in town, there is so much to do with Chapultepec Park right next door, the park's museums or the many restaurants nearby. It is really a convenient area.

And, of course, the place was clean; that is important. We enjoyed ourselves so much that we hope to return before too long, stay at Sandro's place and see the many places we missed.

It is a wonderful price and place; we highly recommend it.
