We are full-time travelers/remote workers and stayed at Pili and Carlos’ place for a month. We were pleased with our experience and enjoyed the great view, amenities and location of this apartment.
Communication & Check-in: We checked in and received our key from the security desk at the entrance. The security personnel must buzz guests in and out each time, but they were always there and perfectly friendly. Alejandra checked in with us weekly and arranged cleaning for the apartment at our convenience.
Location: The apartment is on the seventh floor with a magnificent view of Chapultepec Castle. It was an easy walk over to Chapultepec Park, which we returned to several times to explore different parts of the park, as well as the zoo and museums. Both Condesa and Roma Norte are easily walkable for a variety of cafes, bars, restaurants and shopping. There is a Wal-Mart Express (formerly Suprema) supermarket just a few blocks away that had most everything we needed for groceries. We also took a few Ubers, which were easily summoned and very affordable.
Amenities: The kitchen was stocked with enough dishes, silverware and cookware for the two of us. We also appreciated the washer/dryer combo unit for our laundry. The dining table functioned well as a workspace. There is one TV located in the bedroom, which we didn’t really use. There are doors to the balcony in the living room and bedroom. We weren’t sure what to expect in terms of hot water based on previous reviews, but it was fine. The water actually gets quite hot and there was plenty for a reasonable length of shower. We would usually turn the water off to lather up and turn it back on to rinse and never run out of hot water.
Wifi: There are multiple wifi networks available. We were able to stream shows and take video calls without issue. We got downloads of 56 Mbps and uploads of 50 mbps.
Sleep: The bedroom has blackout shades and plenty of closet space. As others have mentioned, there is noise from the busy road passing in front of the building, but it honestly didn’t bother us a bit or disturb our sleep at all. It just sounds like a normal city, but we did run the fan at night to create some white noise. There were also extra blankets and pillows in the closet. The bed has a headboard that is not shown in the pictures, which was nice to discover. The mattress is definitely on the firm side, though.
Summary: This is a comfortable apartment for longer stays in a very walkable area. The space looks just as pictured and everything was in good working order during our stay. We were happy to have called this space “home” for a month in Mexico City.
