I endorse everyone’s glowing reviews of the apartment and neighborhood. Hopefully these additional notes prove useful:
- In case your check-in and checkout procedures mirrors ours: The doorman actually had the apartment keys and showed us the space. Love the late checkout; just be prepared that the cleaning lady might show up hours earlier.
- There is one set of keys (aside from the initial encounter, the doormen didn’t actually open the door) so our group of four did a lot of shuttling from the 3rd floor apartment.
- Earthquake alarm: If you hear a loud outdoor alarm accompanied with police sirens, then immediately run outdoors. If it’s in the middle of the night and you’re confused, look out the window and check for folks standing in the middle of the parking lot. We were in town for the second Oaxaca earthquake and were given a minute warning before we felt tremors. You’ll have less notice if the quake is closer.
- And finally, the most important, food recos: The Berlinesas @ Panaderia Rosetta (also served at Cafe Nin) are amazing and served *after* 10 a.m. Best al pastor & suadero tacos @ Paramo. Street mango carts are life!
