The neighbourhood is awesome: access to tons of great street art, cafes (we're vegan and there were lots of options close by), galleries, and, last but not least, walking distance to Parque Mexico where you can see dogs galore including the ones in "school." Ilse's apartment is in a beautiful old building and has a lot of character. It's decorated simply but tastefully and we felt very much at home in it. The weather was colder than we expected so we asked if there was a heater. Ilse's response was to promptly go out and buy one for the apartment! She also let us stay in the apartment until our flight left at night at no charge. Great host. Highly recommended.
