English review below. Afitriones - increíblemente amables y eficientes. Casa, súper cómoda y bellamente decorada, barrio residencial seguro y céntrico. I am certain that, without a doubt, Margarita and Rafael's Roma Norte apartment is one of the best options in Mexico City. My second visit. Kind, generous and accomodating hosts. Spacious, comfortable, and beautifully decorated home, centrally located, pleasant and peaceful residential neighborhood, Roma Norte.// Spectacular Hospitality: Prompt responses to all messages. Rafael warmly welcomed me back to apartment when I arrived. Restaurant recommendations organized by neighborhood and price. Margarita, extremely kind and helpful, and very prompt, in answering my messages. They generously had a bag of delicious Chiapaneco coffee for me, as well as bottled water. A Fantastic Space!! Beautiful, spacious and comfortable apartment thoughtfully supplied with everything you could possibly need. Very obvious the thought and care spent to decorate and furnish this home. large French doors in living and dining room face Plaza Río de Janeiro Park. (SouthEast orientation). Plenty of natural light in all rooms including bathrooms. Easy to operate privacy shades when you want to use them. What a treat to open the French doors, and sit and enjoy the views and the sounds emanating from the park, the relaxing sounds of the fountain and birds singing, as a background, with neighbors walking their dogs, folks heading to work and back home, friends exercising, kids laughing and playing. A single lane street in front, very little traffic noise. Very little sound from neighbors. Kitchen: plenty of marble counter space for preparing meals, two large windows facing the interior. (NorthWest) A lot of natural light, as the neighboring building is at a distance. Very pleasant to see the sky and the steeple of the neighborhood church, while cooking. A quality assortment of pots and pans, colanders, bowls, sharp knives, cheese grater, vegetable peeler, glass casserole dishes for baking, blender, juicer, a wall rack loaded with spices and dried herbs, cooking oil, balsamic vinegar, etc. All neatly organized in kitchen cupboards. easy to operate washing machine, a portable drying rack. Neighborhood: Roma Norte, relaxing very pleasant neighborhood, plenty of trees, within walking distance of a multitude of restaurants and bars with outdoor seating. Great espresso coffee across street, Buna 42, hidden just to the left of the italian restaurant. Cafebreria El Péndulo in Alvaro Obregon, awesome bar terrace on top floor.
A short walk to Insurgentes metro station, as well as the "hustle and bustle" of the Zona Rosa and Paseo de la Reforma.
Neighborhood highlights close to the apartment: 1 Parque México, beautiful and relaxing, especially weekdays, a green oasis 2 Avenida Amsterdam, a tree lined jogging track within Condesa neighborhood (1.9 km/1.1 miles) 3 Mercado Melchor Ocamp/Medillin traditional market, meat, fruit, vegetables, very kind vendors. All a pleasant 30 minute walk, Walk South on Orizaba Street right onto Coahuila Street.
Rafael, Margarita, and staff, thank for an incredible 2 week stay in your home. Hasta la próxima, que espero que sea muy pronto, Andrew
