If you are a short term traveler that needs to be in the financial district, then this apartment may work for you. We lived in and worked from the apartment for 3 months, so the challenges we faced were several over time. Here’s some items you should be aware of, that we were not, before you decide to book the apartment for a long term stay.
•	There is not a water filtration system or water service in place so you will need to source your own water supplies. Per the Owner, she does not recommend that you drink the water from the apartment but recommends bottled water only.
•	Don’t count on using all of the amenities you see in the photos and here’s why:
o	If you use the tub it floods the bathroom. We reported this the 1st week and the owner suggested it is caused by the furniture placed in the sink area and not an issue with the tub. Nevertheless, it definitely floods the bathroom if you fill the tub.
o	If you use the fireplace, the liquid used to run it damages the marble floor and you will be asked to pay for the resurfacing by hand. This happened to us. So you may want to consider not using the fireplace.
o	The marble kitchen counter is also prone to damage as the Owner has provided pictures of the damage done by their Nespresso machine. We are not clear yet if we are responsible for this damage as well. But be aware that marble surfaces are easily damaged.
	The pods for the Nespresso machine are difficult to source and expensive so if you drink a lot of coffee, like we do, you may want to consider purchasing your own small coffee maker.
o	Fingerprint access is required for some of the amenities of the building so we were not able to use them as “temporary residents”. The spa does not provide manicures or pedicures.
o	The internet in the apartment is good, but the internet in the business center does not work. So if you are planning to utilize this amenity and your work requires internet service you will need to visit a co-working space or coffee shop.
•	Although the apartment is nicely decorated, there are just too many personal tchotchkes. This created an uncomfortable risk of breakage for us and also took up a lot of space not leaving enough room for our personal items that we had to keep stored.
•	Regarding security, the sliding doors to the balcony do not lock and you share a balcony with a neighbor, so we always kept valuables locked up in our suitcase when we weren’t at home to be on the safe side.
•	Besides the regular CDMX noisy horns and dogs, this location has a lot of additional noises like the all-day organ grinder at the mall below and several protests per week including all hours of the day and night, literally.
•	The Owners have a large, built out glass room in the bedroom for their personal storage. This is not a problem, but they do need to access the apartment from time to time for their personal items from storage so you will need to work on arrangements for their access.
•	The Owner’s housekeeper is $500 pesos per week.
Overall the apartment looks nice, but for a long term stay there are challenges a guest will want to consider. We didn’t feel like we were able to enjoy all of the “good stuff” we saw in the listing so just be aware of what is really available, functional, and can be used without risk of damage.
