A43 ANTOJERÍA URBANA.
It's called A 43 because the address is Agricultura # 43, right next to the apartment building. Great coffee and great comfort food, too, a few steps away from the entrance.
Since it doesn't have a web page, the AirBnB Guide doesn't recognize the url, just keep in mind it's right next to the building, NOT at the address the Time Out url says it is located.

It's a bit far from the geographical center of town, at which point the apartment is situated, but the trip is worth while. The museum is very good, and the Cultural Center of the National University is a really nice environment. There is a restaurant, a movie theater and a concert venue.
