The location of Manuel's place is outstanding. A five minute or less walk to Reforma 222, Zona Rosa, and some small and quaint shops and local eateries. Wonderful crepe and latte shop nearby, as well as La Michoacana, an ice cream and cold pops shop with incredible staff.
Manuel's place is even better looking in person. Wonderful and spacious. Manuel has everything you could need available in the kitchen: pots, pans, dishes, cups, utensils, coffee machine. The apartment gets really cold during the winter, so bring warm clothes for around the house. Manuel does have some really warm sheets in the closet for extra comfort though, so you won't get cold during the night.
We had two issues during our stay but Manuel corrected them pretty much immediately. Manuel always answers consistently and quickly, and is very much appreciated.
Again, the location couldn't be better. Felt safe walking at night, and neighborhood is quiet and underrated. All major tourist attractions in Centro Historico and Chapultepec are within 30 minute walk or a very quick and cost-effective Uber ride away. Check-in was incredibly easy.
If this is your first time visiting Mexico City, stay at Manuel's place.
