Yes, the décor and furniture suggests to me a very arty sort of grandmother's sensibilities--this was a much classier place to stay than I expected from the photos and description, which don't quite do it justice. It's very stylish in its old-fashioned way. There isn't much of a view--just the buildings next door--but some nice sunshine does come in in the mornings. And for a Mexico City apartment it's incredibly quiet, without noise from neighbors or traffic. The apartment is well-outfitted for everything you'd need, especially in the kitchen for cooking.
