Alejandra’s place was very nice and exactly as pictured. Overall we really enjoyed our stay and I would recommend this unit and Alejandra to anyone considering coming to CDMX. The building is newer and that’s evident in the common areas as well as the niceness of the apartment itself. Building appears well maintained.
The apartment is on the top floor (no elevators), so definitely do not recommend this unit for those who are mobility limited. However, given you’re on the top floor, there are no issues with neighbors’ noise. The street is quiet relative to the rest of this trendy neighborhood; this is really nice bc you’re within walking distance of cute coffeeshops, restaurants, bars without hearing the noise associated with these at night.
Alejandra was a VERY responsive host. There was an issue with a mold smell emanating from the 1st floor bathroom and she had the issue fixed in < 30 mins of me reaching out.
Pros:
- 5th floor apartment (no noise issues)
- Very responsive host
- Exceptionally clean unit
- In-unit laundry machine and dryer
- Doorman
- Good location but not “too” central that the street is overly busy
- Coffeeshop next door to building
- Good wifi
- Easy check in process
Cons:
- Shower water stays warm for < 10 minutes
- Two (brief) power outages during our 5 night stay
- Mold smell from 1st floor bathroom returned after using the bathroom again; I didn’t want to have the cleaner come over again to fix it, so this is partially my problem
Overall, one of the better airBNB’s I’ve stayed in and certainly would work with Alejandra again if I find myself in CDMX.
