Amazing sunrises and sunsets from a rooftop terrace and solarium. The building is an historic art-deco structure with a classic manually operated elevator and 24 hour door service. Be prepared that the elevator only goes to the 6th floor, and the unit is on the 8th. But it is very much worth it. Also, if you are light sensitive in your sleep, take an eye-mask as while the windows provide an embarrassment of riches in views, the sun rises early and bright. Of course this is a small price to pay for the pleasure of sipping tequila on your private terrace watching the sunset before heading out for the night.
Several pedestrian streets cross the historic center inviting exploration by foot, including access to various traditional markets, San Juan being about 4 blocks, and Merced being one of the best, about twice as far but very walkable. The Zocalo, National Cathedral, Palacio de Bellas Artes, Temple Mayor ruins and other sights are all within a ten minute walk. In six days we could have experienced a wonderful exploration of Mexico City without ever going beyond walking distance. If you need to venture further, taxis are plentiful in the neighborhood and the nearest subway (San Juan) is only two blocks.
As for food and dining, churros, wonderful hot chocolates, and pozole (soup) are downstairs on the corner next to a 24 hour mini-market for convenience. Within a few blocks there is everything from wonderful street food to world class fine dining including Azul, El Balcon Zocalo, and many more five star establishments.
Marivi was very helpful, left us with a plentiful kitchen, and always let us know she was available if we needed anything.
We plan to return.
