My husband and I stayed with Francisco for a week and we had a GREAT time. We felt like we were welcomed into his home as old friends rather than as people he'd just met, and we really enjoyed just sitting around and chatting with him and his family. Francisco had lots of great advice on restaurants and things to go do in the city as well. Do yourself a favor and take him on his advice to eat at Taquería Selene, about 2 blocks from the house. Amazing.

The place itself is beautiful and so is the neighborhood! It is exactly as described if not better. There are plenty of really great places to eat within close walking distance and it's also a short walk to the metro. We never even felt the need to take a taxi because the metro was so close and easy to use! Hopefully we'll be back some day!
