If you want the real Mexico experience, then living at Paulina’s place in Centro Historico is the perfect apartment. It’s within walking distance to any amenity that you could desire or a short uber ride. The street is filled with retail shops a block away, restaurants and bars 2 blocks away, the metro within 2 blocks, etc. The neighborhood was extremely safe and cleaner than almost every other neighborhood that I explored. The apartment is comfortable and clean and had all the necessary appliances needed for a long term stay (minus a tv if that’s your thing). Paulina was quick to respond to any of my needs. Overall, its a great budget friendly apartment and it was a great place to live for a few months for my first time in Mexico.
