Alonso and his mother Rocío are two of the warmest, kindest, most friendly and exuberant people I have ever met. I was very grateful to stay with them and have them regale me with local lore and give me traveling tips. Ramona the dog is a handful but very friendly and sweet, and their cat (whose name I forgot) is cute too but more shy than Rama. The only drawback was that the wifi in the apartment doesn't work very well in the room, but aside from that I had such a lovely time staying with Alonso and Rocío and getting to know them and Mexico City. Oh and I mustn't forget to mention their rooftop garden is stunning! If you like to garden, let Alonso give you tips. He even sent me home with some of his composting worms 😜
