We had a great stay in the "El Cantarito" room - this set of small studio apartments is actually a small hotel (Vecindad La Loteria) so they are staffed and the checkin/out process is a bit more extensive than other Airbnb's - just like checking into a hotel. We liked having access to a filtered water tap on site for filling our water bottles and the laundry machine on site (no dryer, but you can hang your laundry on the line up on the roof - be sure to give the very sweet dog that lives up there lots of pets - I love her!) The studio was in a very non-touristy older neighborhood (Santa Maria la Ribera) close to the Centro Historico, just a few stops by Metro or the Metrobus line (on Insurgentes) and a good place to stay for a few days. I was unsure how the neighborhood would be - some of the areas north of the Centro Historico are a little rough, but this neighborhood felt safe and had lots of families with kids walking around and active streetlife from early morning into the evening. Do be sure to check out the restaurant, Tlacoyotitlán, down the street and the beautiful Kiosco Morisco in the nearby park.
