We stayed at Alfonso's place for 57 nights (almost two months). Alfonso flew in from Veracruz to meet us personally, even though our flight did not land until after 9:30pm.
The number one best thing about this place is the LOCATION! In fact, I dont know if we could have picked a better location. It is 2 blocks to the nearest station (Seville), 5 blocks to the heart of night clubs and bars (Insurgentes), 3 blocks to the Angel of Independance and Reforma, 4 blocks to Chapultepec Park, 2 blocks to Condessa and 6 blocks to Roma Norte. Basically you are walking distance to everything you could possibly want. And Uber is about as easy as it gets!!!!
COMMUNICATION with Alfonso exceeded our best hopes. When you stay at a place for two months, minor things are bound to occur. When they did, Alfonso was a text or phone call away and ALWAYS responded within 5-15 minutes and fixed any issues as quickly as humanely possible, including having repairmen show up on a holiday when our power went out!
The HOME itself is modest. Their is an apple tv, dvd player and radio for entertainment. The kitchen is small but has everything needed for a family/group of four. The furniture is dated and a bit worn but all very functional. The King bed in the bedroom is circular shaped at the base and would be classified as "Firm". Initially we were concerned that it would be too firm for our tastes, but it turned out to be very comfortable. There is one bathroom with a shower, the other bathroom is just a toilet and sink. Hot water was always available, but the first shower of the morning would run out about 8 minutes in, so be quick. But once the heater got going the hot water flow was decent. The unit faces away from the street and is VERY Quiet, (considering you are in the hear of one of the biggest cities in the world). Also because of this, there is not much of a view, but from the living room you have a very good view of the ancient aqueduct that still runs and is lit up at night.
The building is very secure, and again the location is VERY Safe!!! We walked all over the city and never felt concerned at all.
If you are looking for the lap of luxury, this is not the place, but if you are looking for an affordable, functional, clean, comfortable and amazingly located place in Mexico City, then this is it!
We cannot say enough great things about this place and will defiantly be back!
