We loved our stay in this charming apartment and would recommend it to anybody considering a visit to Mexico City. We were received by Nicholas's partner who patiently awaited our (delayed) arrival, on a Friday night no less, and then took the time to chat and give us some great recommendations about where to go that night. It's no wonder that he authored a guide book on Mexico City and that Nicholas has written a guide on Mexican cuisine in the city (with an award winning blog to match). Both books are conveniently available for your use, and we were quite thankful to have them. Nicholas and his partner are also artists, which can be appreciated in the eclectic decor with rich textiles, antiques and pieces collected from around the world. You can imagine that each item has a unique story and, juxtaposed against the original art deco moldings and features of this historic apartment, it made for a beautiful atmosphere to relax in before and after our daily sightseeing journeys. It's also a great base to do your exploring from: conveniently located in one of our favorite barrios, la Condesa, it has an abundance of gorgeous art deco buildings, nightlife, restaurants, galleries and greenery. And it’s only a short walk to its slightly more hipster neighbor, Roma, another great barrio to explore. It felt extremely safe walking around la Condesa, even at night, and it wasn't uncommon to bump into dog walkers or joggers running on their tree-lined avenue, once a hippodrome, at any hour. The subway was also easily accessible from their apartment, which we relied on heavily during our stay in addition to taxis (Nicholas provided the number of a reliable company). I see in one of the reviews that there was critique about it being a bit cold. We came in March and it was a bit chilly in the city at night (almost a 20 degree drop from the day), but that was also easily fixed by the abundant extra blankets around the apartment and having brought our warm Canadian clothing. Anyhow, that's just a matter of preparing for the weather before you come. Other details were a fully equipped kitchen with a small balcony overlooking the inner courtyard, nice hot showers, filtered water, a big screen tv in the bedroom with a dvd player in case you want a night in, and a good wifi connection. All in all, we wouldn't hesitate to come back to this apartment on our next trip to Mexico City - and we are definitely planning on returning to the D.F. one day to finish our exploring. A great place to stay in a great city. Thanks Nicholas and Jim!
