The apartment is exactly how it appears on the pictures. It's lovely decorated and quite spacious. The location is superb as it is in a quiet street in the trendy Condesa neighbourhood yet close to many restaurants, cafés, tearooms, and bars. There are several major parks only 5 minutes away by foot.

While the apartment is very nice, it a bit on the pricey size for the Condesa neighbourhood. Nonetheless, I did not find it unreasonable and it was worth my buck.

Regarding the host, Humberto is very attentive and communicative. He coordinates with a cleaning lady, Sara, who leaves the place sparkling clean.

As per the downsides to the flat, the neighbours in the building did not know the apartment was being used as an airbnb and some where quite hostile to the idea. They often complained in the common area regarding the rental and ask you about the contractual arrangements, as if angry at the idea of having different people there. I do have to say that they knew I did nothing wrong and directed their hostility towards Humberto. My impression is that this will be a recurring malaise.

Also, the boiler in the kitchen is always smelling as if there was a gas leak. I am sure it is safe as I spent 5 weeks in this apartment, but some people may find the odour a bit annoying. A new boiler (given the rental's price) would make this place a better pick.

Overall, I loved my stay here. I would stay here again were I to go back to Mexico City. The spacious rooms, the comfortable bathroom as well as the decor and the setting makes the place a special one.
