Karla's place is an absolute gem. We vacation frequently in Mexico City, and I have to say this is the best place we stayed yet ( we stayed at Sheraton Maria Isabella last trip ) One big factor for us is the quietness. The way the building is orientated, with an interior courtyard; make for almost no noise and peaceful nights sleep. The cleanliness of the apartment is immaculate. Everything is perfectly clean and cleaning supplies are supplied for those on a long term stay. The location in San Rafael is also perfect. Close to transportation and all major tourist sights, all while maintaining a intimate neighborhood feel. The security of the area and building are perfect, even when returning late night there is never a question of insecurity. If that was not enough there is a great grocery store just across the street. This is a rarity in the downtown area, and much appreciated for stocking up on groceries. Karla is such a kind and gracious host, she makes you feel warm immediately. We are already planning our next trip back to Karla's place. Thanks so much for the great vacation!
