Mauricio (who always promptly responded to our messages) offers his guests a splendid, spacious apartment, a true jewel. It has all the comforts of a beautiful home with wonderful staff in the building, especially Bértha. (Yes, the shower pressure is not strong, as others have mentioned, but this is a minor thing.) We also loved the charming Condesa neighborhood. The Superama, a large supermarket, is just three blocks away. For dinner at nearby restaurants, we particularly enjoyed pizza and calzone at Zazá’s and crepes and other entrees (and creative cocktails!) at Creperie de la Paix. For lattes and cappuccinos, we liked Unhorabuena Cafe and Cafe Etrusca, which are within a relatively short walk. The grand Chapultepec Park, with its many museums and other attractions, is also within walking distance for those who want a longer stroll. Just don’t miss the chance to stay at Mauricio’s apartment!
