If you want to be off the grid and experience a more authentic feel of what is to live in Mexico, then this place is a perfect fit.
First, let’s talk about the apartment: clean, well designed, quiet (except for the tamale-man at 7:00a on Saturdays), roomy, great closets, safe, and parking space for two vehicles.
Bear in mind, no WiFi and no TV’s — this could be a turn off for some but if you really want to enjoy the city and its surroundings, then you won’t mind.
As for the location, it’s great if you want to enjoy the amenities of Southern Mexico City: Coyoacán, Xochimilco, Azteca Stadium, CU, etc.
Particularly, the apartment is not located too close to the major roads (again, off the grid), but that doesn’t mean you won’t have options to enjoy the city, everything is at walking distance: a taqueria (amazing tacos al pastor!), drop off laundry, convenience store, Starbucks (yuk!), cinema, banks, and, the one you will most likely love, a farmers market (Tianguis) every Saturday that offers an amazing selection of fruits and vegetables, regional food, clothing, crafts, and souvenirs.
Yes, this is not Polanco or La Condesa, but those places don’t offer an accurate rendition of what Mexico City is. If you want the experience of a real Mexican social fabric, then this place is a perfect fit for you.
