Gerald is the ideal host. Like his wonderful cats, he is there as you need him, but is never ever intrusive. Both my room and bathroom, as well as the rest of the home were immaculate. Any time I had a question (and there were many) Gerald knew the answer and helped me out in too many ways to count. I have never felt so quickly at home and so secure in a new country. My room’s window looked out to the well-treed courtyard and to Mexico City’s most ancient pyramid, then to the city, and then to mountains that showcase the sunrise. The kitchen is superbly stocked with any cooking device you might need (right down to having a nut bag so I could make my almond milk!) and his coffee machine is state of the art. The location is excellent. The metrobus, immediately outside the gated community, is extremely efficient (important to me, as I was travelling alone) and as the stop is well populated, coming home a little after dark is not a problem. Villa Olimpia is safe to walk in any time of day and night and the two lovely shops in the gated area have fruit, vegetables as well as other items you might need if you feel like cooking at home. A short walk (across the metrobus bridge, so no traffic) will take you to a plaza with good food options, a department store and even a cinema. I could not recommend Gerald more. His hospitality is unsurpassed.
