We stayed at Miguel's for almost 3 months and the the number one things is: Location. Location. Location. Miguel's place is situated on the boarder between Condesa and Roma Norte and is walkable to anywhere you want to go (or a short uber to Coyoacan or San Angel).
Other Pros:
+ there is a study connected to the master bedroom, so if you're working from home there is a great setup and you can hardwire into the router if you need.
+ security team is awesome and the building manager is so kind.
+ the architecture of the building has been designed so you don't need extra heat or air.
+ so many restaurants and cafes in walking distance (check out Bracco!)
+ Miguel is great a communicating.
Cons:
- the internet can be slow. To his credit, Miguel tried to fix this for us, but the company kept messing up when they were coming. I would confirm with him if this is fixed before committing.
- The kitchen is super tiny/ narrow and not really convenient for cooking. There is no oven. There are a ton of dishes and odd things (like 7 huge vases), but everything is kind of crammed in that it makes it hard to find anything. There were a lot of bugs and dust so we had to wash everything once we got there.
- speaking of cleanliness, the place needed a clean when we arrived. There was like 15 half empty shampoo and soap bottles and tons of empty boxes around. Same with the washer setup, so much extra stuff and needed a clean. Keep in mind the furniture and bedding are a little older looking.
Other:
+ the roof is bare bones, the only thing up there is the washer and dryer. It would be awesome if there were some seating setup
+ the sliding doors are great to have open, but keep in mind, the only view is a white cement wall. (hence why having roof seating would be great!)
+ There is a TV and couch in the study, but the TV isn't hooked up to anything.
Mexico City is a wonderful place to explore, so overall, the location wins!
