The apartment had 5-diamond views and, when you're not staying right at the park or the zocalo, staying between the two in a vibrant neighborhood is the next best thing. Location is everything and this apartment has it.
The host was was attentive when needed and the apartment was quieter than I expected (little to no noise from neighbors or the city below). Bonus: friendly and helpful doormen and good restaurants just outside the front door. The apartment was warm for our tastes, but fans were provided and it cooled off nicely. No a/c was a small price to pay for the extra room (and rooms) for our family of 5. We would stay here again (and again).
