Gabriel and Maria's apartment was a good size for our 5 week stay. The couch was comfortable and the stylish LR is sunny. The balcony is a nice size but we didn't use it often bc of the traffic noise below (the apartment is on the 3rd floor of a building that is on a one way street used by many buses and motorcycles). The dining room seats 4 comfortably and there are 2 bar seats. The kitchen is tight for 2 cooks but we made it work, even with the tiny sink. The main bedroom is large and the bed is firm and very comfortable . This room located in the back of the apartment which helps somewhat with the street noise but the apartment is in the city and there are city noises. Using our ear buds at night and the air conditioning unit on made for easy sleeping. Spacious closets were a plus and the desk convenient. The second bedroom is near the front of the apartment but the noise from the street didn't bother our kid. This room is small and there is no closet-- fine for a short stay. It's very convenient to have 2 bathrooms-- Bathroom 1 is small and cleaning supplies are stored in the shower so we did all showering in the other larger en suite bathroom . Great temperature and water pressure-- just keep the shower head close to the wall to keep water from going all over the bathroom. A shelf of some sort would be helpful to store toiletries. We appreciated the extension cords with adapters for our US electrical items.
The apartment is located in a busy section of town with restaurants, groceries, pharmacies right outside. An easy walk to Polanco Soho and Polanco Viejo with more great shopping and restaurant options. We used Uber to travel around the city-- it's affordable and easy to use. Our contact Maria was generally responsive and was helpful when we asked for a doctor recommendation and needed an early morning taxi. She was also very accommodating with our ultimate late departure. Overall, a good stay. Gracias!
