We looked forward to being in Ricardo's home. It is in a great neighborhood and his neighbors are very friendly. Escandon is immediately south of Condesa and a safe place. His home is only 1 block from the CDMX Metro which makes it so easy to access the entire city. The home also has very fast fiber internet which helped a lot for the days we were working.
Unfortunately, it was a difficult stay for us. There was no electricity for the first 7 hours. Ricardo worked hard to get the service turned on. The house was cold and dark. Numerous light bulbs needed replacement which we did the next day. That helped make the space more welcoming (especially the kitchen). Also note that there is no TV in the futon room. The terrace upstairs is wonderful for enjoying the outdoors but doesn't have any furniture. With a little effort this could become a true Super Host property!
