Very cool and different place to stay! The location is a bit outside of the most touristy zones but still very close (10-15 mins walking) to some clear landmark points in the city, and it’s an extremely cheap Uber/taxi to neighborhoods like Condesa and Roma. Guli was great — really kind, engaging and helpful. I very much felt at home and wouldn’t have hesitated at all to call him if I had any problems or questions, and it was really nice to just chat with him about the city when we were both at home. The apartment is a different style than any I’ve seen before, and while it might not be for everyone, I loved the the dramatic angles of the living room and bold colors of the decorations. The room is simple but really comfortable.
As many other reviewers have noted, the traffic noise is intense. The only time it was a bit of a problem for me was when I had to have a Skype meeting, and the noise from motorcycles and trucks going by would occasionally be really noticeable in my call. But, if you don’t have serious Skype needs (which I imagine most people don’t) and you aren’t an extremely light sleeper then it probably wouldn’t be a problem!
Gracias por todo Guli!
