Eric's lovely apartment is perfectly located near the top of the Condesa area, walking distance to Chalputepec park and a short cab ride away to the Zocalo etc. Also the Metro is very close, don't be afraid to take it somewhere! There's a cab stand outside the alleyway, a pharmacy on the corner and tons of great food near by. We stayed there a week and loved the whole area. The apartment is clean, bright and sunny, and there's pots and pans to cook with if you like. They have fresh bottled drinking water service so you have clean water to drink at the pad and you can fill up your bottles before you head out on the town. We walked all over the neighborhood and it's extremely safe, even at night. We didn't get to meet Eric since he was out of town during our stay, a neighbor let us in and gave us the keys, but Eric was super communicative over email. We heard some noise from the neighbors, barking dogs etc at night, but it didn't bother us too much. If you are used to city apartment living it shouldn't be a problem. We just shut the bedroom window and used the fan that's provided. Much better than being isolated from the locals in some hotel somewhere! Definitely a great location to check out the DF!
