Great "family" experience. You're staying in a suite on the ground floor of a family home. If you are Mexican, none of this should surprise you, but if you are not, be prepared for some yelling and talking and laughing and all that goes with daily family life. But, also be prepared to be included in family life, if you like. I had a great time helping the family prepare and eat tamales. THAT is part of the Mexican experience for me. Loved that! Jose speaks English well; Linda, not so much, yet with my bad Spanish, it all worked out fine. Lovely, kind family!
Location is good, interesting neighbourhood; everything to live the experience (2 1/2 months) was readily available. Two metro lines close by, less than 15 minute walk. Metrobus about 20 minutes walk, and Trolley bus only 2 blocks away. I am not a stranger to CDMX, and Portales Norte is a good location.
The bed was comfortable, and it was very quiet, after everyone went to bed, so I slept very well most nights.
