I stayed at Mariana’s place for a little over two months. The location is unbeatable with all of the hottest restaurants, bars and tourist sights close by or easily accessible. Don’t forget to check out “El Faraón” a local taco spot open until 5am everyday! Just 7 min walk off of Oaxaca St. Excellent Al Pastor tacos, rib eye costra and bean soup! Your local supermarket (Sumesa) is just steps from this place as are a couple of ATMs for money w/d. Lots of convenience!
The on-site gym is great—rarely used so you feel like you have your own private gym. And, although you’re in the heart of everything, the apt is very quiet which means great sleep with no ear plugs!
The shower has excellent pressure although the hot water does not last past ~8 min. This is the issue I had during my stay and Mariana worked to fix it but unfortunately, lasting hot water is an issue throughout Mexico City....I don’t understand why as my prior Airbnb had just purchased a new boiler and it was a problem there too...although it lasted about 13 min there. Anyway, be aware and plan your showers accordingly if you like very hot water (like me!).
Other than that, is place was like home. I was sooo comfortable and even had local friends over who all commented on what a nice place it was and how amazing the location was.
Mariana was very responsive throughout my stay and the on-site security guards and cleaning staff were very friendly! I loved that I could use the on-site laundry facilities for $56 MCN per wash/dry to launder my clothes.
I highly recommend this apt if you’re visiting CDMX, especially if staying > 30 days. ☺️
