Safe, super clean, walkable, lots of trees, locals, upper-middle-class-hipster-vibe. Exceptionally clean streets and large old houses which showed a pride in ownership.
Plenty of neighborhood restaurant/bars within walking distance, none of which seemed like they were out of control. The local businesses seem to cater to 20-35 year old locals with resources; not the flashy-lamborghini set, but more of the vespa-and-subtle-wealth set.
Our trip included my 6 nieces, ages 14 to 28, and we were comfortable letting them roam in the neighborhood. Also, the older nieces and nephews and their 2 drink aunts/uncles enjoyed the after dinner spots. No kegstands, but still populated and open late.
The house is a safe and easy walk to Chapultepec (@ half a mile). The house is close to Ave. Mazatlan where you can bike or walk down the tree-lined median to Chapultepec (a little longer).
Abdeel left us alone (we rented the whole place) after we checked in. But he was very helpful and responsive when we contacted him: where to get Luche Libre tickets; where to go to eat; what about renting a van to go tothe pryamids; can we have more blankets. Whatever, he was cool.
I would stay here again.
