* I live alone, but on Fridays Pablo, my 14-year-old grandson, comes to sleep with me. My children obviously no longer live with me, so I have 2, maximum 3, rooms for rent. The large room has a queen-size bed, which can be inhabited by a couple. The other 2 rooms only have a single bed.
* I receive guests, usually graduate students, who come to Mexico for a few months to visit the archives and libraries. As I have not announced, until now they come to me on the recommendation of others who have already lived here.
* My apartment is very nice, at least that's what the guests and my friends say. It has lots of light and the windows look towards large trees. I have many books in Spanish, English and German. I also have a small but good collection of classical music CDs. The kitchen is usually the meeting place, if we are less than 6 people. The table is around the stove, so there are always hot tortillas. At the back of my building is a supermarket quite well stocked. So the one who lives here does not die of hunger.
* As a rule, everyone who lives here starts the day with freshly squeezed orange juice, even if they do not want to ... Every guest can use the kitchen, which is very well equipped.
The apartment is on a street that is on the corner of Insurgentes Sur, one of the main arteries of Mexico City. It is excellently located to reach all the places of interest in the city and to make use of public transport.
Yes, the apartment is on the third floor and there is no elevator, so to get there you have to climb 62 steps.

    Annette Schultze is an amazing host and person. She opened her home and friendship to me. She was very willing to speak Spanish as long as I was able, but our conversations went way beyond my ability to speak Spanish, so we mostly flipped over to English. I enjoyed the barrio very much. The bar right beneath Annette is very friendly. I highly recommend a stay at Annette's home.

    Annette is a wonderful hostess, very knowledgeable about Mexico, its history, architecture, art, food and archaeology. Her apartment is beautiful and nicely decorated, located in a nice neighborhood with beautiful trees. There is a metro-bus station within a block and a metro station 3-4 blocks away. I highly recommend staying with her.

    Nuestra estadía en México DF en casa de Annette fue espectacular.Ella es una gran anfitriona, tiene muchísimo conocimiento de la ciudad y es excelente para ayudar como consejera para visitar los lugares que como turistas no debemos dejar de ver.La ubicación de su apartamento es estupenda,con accesibilidad para todos los puntos de la ciudad,ubicado a metros de avenida Insurgentes, que hace que sea imposible perderse a la hora del retorno a casa en esa enorme capital.El apartamento es amplio, muy cómodo, con todos los servicios. Annette nos trató como familia,se ocupó de nosotros, y nos agasajó con riqísimos desayunos y comidas tradicionales.
