Marcia's apartment is centrally located only a few blocks walk from major attractions such as the Palacio de Bellas Artes and Zocalo Square. It is a little noisy with a lot of traffic but it doesn't take long to get used to that and the windows keep out the worst of the noise. The fan in the bedroom is a great way to both stay cool and keep the mosquitos at bay. Check in was easy even with our late arrival, Victor showed us the flat and handed over the keys. It's useful to note that very few Mexicans can speak English so make sure you learn a few phrases before you go. The flat was very clean and the building was beautiful with outside space on the roof. The double bed was very comfortable and the water pressure was good but, when there were 4 of us in the flat, we had to have quick showers as the hot water ran out quickly (Marcia did warn us about this). We used some of Marcia's recommendations for places to eat which were all good and we took her advice about hailing taxis off the street with no problems at all (taxis are a very cheap way of getting about). We'd recommend a trip up the Torre Latino (just at the end of the street) for a 360 view of Mexico City and there is a great wee museum at the top too. The House of Tiles, just a few streets away, is great for breakfast and dinner and a stunning building to visit plus a taxi to Condesa for a wander around the lovely streets/parks is worth doing too stopping, at one of the many coffee shops to watch the world go by (and watch the doggy daycare in the parks). Marcia's place is in an excellent spot for shopping too. If we ever go back to Mexico City we would definitely stay at Marcia's place again.
