Laurelas is a neighborhood that is Strata 4/5. It has a main street referred as La Setenta (70th Street) and it stretches from the Metro, which is 5 stops from Centro to the Univercity. I spent 4 nights there in a chica friendly hotel. The small room was 113,000 for 1 or 133,000 for 2. The suite was 133,000 for 1 or 165,000 for 2. All guests must sign in.

The metro was 1,400 pesos one way.


I saw a few Hotels that were in the 70,000 range as well as the 250,000 range. There are plenty of markets around as well.


They have free internet and free breakfast. There are about 10 other hotels on that street as well as many dozens of restaurants and bars.
There are a few casas within walking distance and Avenue 33 is nearby as well, with 3 casas located there.

I ate in about 8 restaurants including a Mexican Restaurant. The owner spoke English and spent a few years in Mexico.

This is a very active area with people out well past midnight.


I will be back in June for a week with a few buddies. I am getting two suites that connect and the wing has 6 rooms next to one another. Its about 40 minutes from the airport.

I will locate and insert the link. They require 1 nights deposit and they take credit cards without any kind of surcharge.
