Margarita's apartment made for a wonderful, comfortable, safe and absolutely convenient stay. My travel companions and I (their first times in Mexico City/I used to live there) were all totally romanticized by the location directly overlooking the plaza Rio de Janeiro and even though there was construction there this month, we still enjoyed our stay to the fullest. The apartment is exactly as the listing shows it, yet arriving there I was even more thrilled than I had imagined by the sense of place and atmosphere which enters the living room via those plant filled balcony windows. For those who care about these things, the furniture, objects and books in the apartment communicate a strong family and cultural history. Rafael was a truly lovely person to communicate in person with, and one morning near the end of my stay even brought me some great croissants for breakfast. The washing machine was very convenient and easy to use and basically everything was smooth and easy here. I most strongly recommend staying here - you won't find a better home-base in La Roma - in the midst of the best food, architecture, shops, and calm...
