That said, it has a lot going for it, not least of which is square meter per peso. I also would personally love to have a pool, so that also gets my vote. It's also old enough that you can feel confident that if it were going to settle or develop cracks and such, it would have already started. That's also a plus for a new-ish place. <br /><br />But I'd hate to see the electric bills for cooling it in the nine months of the year you'd want A/C. <br /><br />Flooding? I would check into that VERY carefully. But this place is WAY better than the <i>Stairmaster's Lair.</i><br /><br />Kim G<br />DF, Mexico<br /><i>Where we'd love to have a pool to use right about now.</i>Kim Gnoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-2289482511228853984.post-75926161229109893942012-10-11T18:08:49.270-05:002012-10-11T18:08:49.270-05:00 I'd trust Barbara on this one.
