First of all our host, Chechi, was awesome. She's a really great communicator, very responsive, and pleasant to deal with. We had a few requests and she quickly fulfilled them even during the Christmas holiday. She also turned us onto The Traveling Beetle tour company whose tour was one of the highlights of our trip.
Her place in the the heart of the Hipodromo neighborhood, right on Amsterdam Ave, a quiet tree lined street with a median strip for walking and running. Restaurants, bars and shops are here and there between the beautiful, mostly Deco and modern residences. This is a peaceful oasis in a huge and bustling city. We loved Hipodromo.
Chechi's apartment is clean, quiet and modern. It was an excellent place to call home base for five days, an easy place to launch our days from and a welcome respite to return to in the evening.
As in all of Mexico City, there is a recurring issue with water pressure, which effected us from time to time when we wanted to shower. Other than that we give Chechi's plus high marks.
