Our stay Jack y Alice's place was one of the many highlights of Mexico City. We stayed there two weeks, which I think gives us a unique perspective. Any place can be nice for a night or two but you notice more the longer you stay, and really we noticed how comfortable we were in the apartment and the building. As you can read in other reviews, this apartment is by many key things you need in Mexico City: Metro Stops, bakeries, restaurants and bars. You have convenience stores all around and an ATM right down the street in one of the many pharmacies on the block.
The apartment has everything you could need: an ironing board, kitchen with well stocked pots, pans and dishes. The building has a laundry room you can take advantage of, one can only enter the building with a keycard and we saw the door person everyday, multiple times, so we felt secure and it was so easy to ask questions when they came up. Jack y Alice also messaged us to let us know they were a resource should we need them and they stopped by and left a note to to say hi - that was such a special touch.
The building is in good shape, it was getting a remodel of sorts when we were there so I can only imaging how much nicer it'll look. The elevator was nuts in a funny way - yes it stops about an inch or two too high at each floor and its automatic door suffers no lingering, but it's funny and we didn't want to lug our bags or ourselves up the stairs so really just ride it a couple of times and you'll be an expert. The balcony out on to the street was beautiful, we stood out there during the nightly rainstorms. The bed, omg that King size bed! It was perfect and, when our kid crawled in with us we each still had plenty of room. There's a bed in the common area, two actually because another mattress pulls out, it was also really comfy for naps and sleeping on.
Traveling with a kid we needed downtime and the apartment was great for that, we really had space to eat together, hang out or find our own little corner for some alone time.
Mexico City is loud, the street you're on is busy, the restaurants and bars and shops have patrons and in the mornings they get deliveries - this was not a huge deal for us. A lot of the noise was drowned out by the AC or a movie and, just the sleep of a tourist. The noises we did hear added to the charm of the city. I want to go back to Mexico City often, and when I do I cannot imagine staying anywhere else again, this was a perfect place to stay, with thoughtful hosts and on-site door person.
