We stayed at Alvaro's beautiful place from February 13-20, 2016 and had a wonderful experience. The apartment was much more spacious than we expected, and was filled with sunlight. We loved the location and well-equipped, user-friendly kitchen as well.

There is way too much in the neighborhood to describe here, but we appreciated being super close to great restaurants, a beautiful fruit and flower market (Mercado Medellín--has other staples too, like eggs and bread), a spa, a laundry (though Alvaro has a washer and dryer in the apartment), bars, and coffee shops.

My wife and I love to walk, and we were able to easily walk to La Ciudadela (about two miles away). Polanco, Chupultapec, and the Zócalo are just a bit farther.

Perhaps the best part of the apartment, though, was how friendly and responsive Alvaro was. Our plans changed a couple of times, and he kindly met a friend of ours to give her the key and to orient her. He also promptly responded to a several questions we had during our stay. We recommend Alvaro and his beautiful apartment without reservation!
