| We loved this place! The condo was clean, safe, modern and in the most convenient location. Our trip was very short so we wanted to cover as much ground as possible in a few days. Many sites, restaurants and museums all within walking distance. The Museum of Popular Art was just around the corner! Subway stop just a couple blocks away. For being smack dab in the middle of a bustling area, our condo was surprisingly quiet. Our hosts Alicia and Gloria were extremely, friendly, helpful and reliable. We would definitely stay here again next time we're in town. |

Great condo rental in Mexico City. Location is excellent with several subway stops within 2 blocks and Zocalo within comfortable walking distance (we walked there every night as lots of activities and people and is about a 15 minute stroll). Neighborhood is safe to walk in at night with stores and restaurants open late. Mexico City is wonderful with numerous things to do and a vibrant lifestyle.
Condo is quite new, modern, clean, comfortable, quiet, and has everything one needs -- actually more, we certainly did not expect to find a nice pool in Mexico City, was not on any imagination list even, but we really enjoyed as a way to relax and were generally the only ones in the pool.
Owners are very helpful and very available - contact person (Alicia) is in Illinois while her sister (Gloria) is in Mexico City. We would strongly recommend renting this condo for any visit to Mexico City. |

| I'll start with the conclusion - this is a superb place to stay if you are going to Mexico City and prefer to avoid the hotel lifestyle. My wife and I prefer to stay in places where we can do our own cooking, but finding a place like that in Mexico City was very difficult. This apartment sounded almost too good to be true and it wasn't until we actually arrived that I stopped worrying that it might be an elaborate scam. The apartment is in a secure complex with a manned reception (24/7) and the location couldn't be more ideal. It is in easy walking distance of the centre of the city and there is a subway stop very close to the apartment. At 2 pesos per ride, the subway is the cheapest and quickest way to get around the city. There are several convenience stores within a minute or two of the apartment, and a large Wal-Mart supermarket only a couple of stops away on the subway. We were surprised how few people spoke English (including the doorman/receptionist), but with sign language, a few words learned from Dora the Explorer and a smile we got by. The Sheraton is just across the road so anytime I needed to find something out I'd just go to the hotel and ask the concierge, who spoke good English. I also used the Sheraton to get taxis when I needed to go places the subway didn't. The apartment had all the appliances you'd expect, including a washing machine/dryer. Unfortunately, all the knobs had labels in Spanish. However, as the apartment had internet access, by using Google Language Tools (a link on the Google search page), we were able to work everything out - including writing up a shopping list in Spanish for our trip to the supermarket. If you don't speak Spanish, and don't intend taking a laptop, then I would strongly suggest taking a pocket dictionary and phrasebook. Would we stay here again? Absolutely. It made our Mexico City trip much more enjoyable that it might otherwise have been. |

We stayed here during the Christmas holidays and felt very lucky to be in such a central spot across from the Alameda gardens and walking distance to almost everything. The apartment was quiet, stylish and comfortable - a great relief from the hectic city - and we were very well taken care of by the hosts. We hope to return soon!

| This lovely condo is a gem in the heart of the Centro Historico! This is a very well-maintained condo with great amenities, and the owner was a pleasure to do business with! For the tourist wanting easy access, this condo is just blocks away from nearby major tourist sites and hotels. The double-decker Turibus picks passengers up around the block, and 2 Metro stations are within 2 blocks. Thanks for a memorable visit! |
