Ernesto is one of the best hosts I have ever had the chance to meet. He waited really late into the night for me to get to the apartment when I was held up at the airport and didn’t have any reception to call him. He gave us a tour and let us know that he is always available which he was.
The location is awesome, quiet, and cool on hot days. Sometimes its the little things that show your host cares about you and that was having separate little packaged soap bars. Not only did they care about personal hygiene but also the building itself although older, did not have a single bug or insect and the apartment floors were clean. The kitchen was nicely equipped and the decor was simple but pretty.
Downstairs you will find a little stand that makes fresh juice and fruit cocktails everyday. Next to that is a cool used bookstore, and across the street is this awesome gay bar that never actually gets so loud that you cant sleep. Noise was never an issue at night. Starbucks and all your favourite food and shopping places are literally 2 blocks away. Is you want to just stay in Zocalo, this place is perfect, and if you want to explore the city, there is public transit all around you.
But again, the best part of that experience was the hosts hospitality and commitment to service.
