Andres and his place are both lovely. The house is located in a residential neighborhood that is off the beaten path for the typical tourist in Mexico City. There are also lots of really affordable and delicious taco restaurants on the main street.

The house is within walking distance of two metro stations, and you can be in the historical center in about 25 minutes via metro. It never took us more than 50 minutes to get to any of the other points of interest in the city - Bosque de Chapultepec, Condesa, Roma, Coyoacan.

If your main goal is to stay in a trendy area that caters to a younger crowd where you can stay out late into the night and then just walk back to your place, I wouldn't recommend this listing as it is a more family-friendly area. You will also have to take cabs back late at night because the metro closes at midnight during the week and 1am on weekends.

Andres was a wonderful host - always available to help whenever we needed him. He even called us a taxi to take us to the airport when we were leaving because we had no way to call ourselves.
