Type of housing: Apartment/House
Arranged by: Independently - I had no other choice
If returning, I would choose: Downtown
Why? The geographic center of Mexico City is much more confortable to live and fully enjoy Mexico's cultural life.
Personal comments:
I had troubles finding accomodation in Mexico City given the size of the city and I think some time are required to visit and choose one's place - what I did not really have.
