Ismael is such an amazing host! The location was not a problem for our Uber driver to get to from the airport (MCIA). We arrived late on a Friday (~10p) and check-in was a breeze with simple instructions. An added bonus staying at Ismael's complex is the 24/7 security desk in the lobby.
I cannot stress how supurb communication was with Ismael. He checked on us just enough to make sure we were comfortable and had everything we needed throughout our 9-day stay. A couple days in, we had a little issue with the water heater. Within minutes, Ismael had a plumber scheduled for first thing in the morning and had the problem fixed in no time. It went so smoothly, I almost forgot this even happened.
One of the rooms does face a very busy main road outside (Avenida Chapultepec). Weekend nights had bustling traffic with no shortage of honking into the early hours of the morning. We were aware of this from reading other reviews. If you can sleep with earplugs, no problemo, problem solved. The second room just across the tiny hall also gets a bit of noise from passing chatter outside; the unit is right in front of the elevator access, so this was expected. Again, a pair of earplugs does the trick. Other reviews have also mentioned the brightness factor in the rooms/the blinds not blocking out enough ambient light. It definitely wasn't pitch black at night, but it also wasn't sunshine bright; no problems knocking out in minutes and staying asleep. If you absolutely can't fall asleep after walking about ten miles every single day because you don't want to stop wandering around, seeing as much as you can see, and making the most of your trip, then be sure to pack a floofy mask to cover up your blinkies.
Speaking of wandering around: absolutely FANTASTIC location! Being within walking distance of awesome neighborhoods (Roma Norte, Roma Sur, La Condesa, Juarez), and having access to the metro just a mere five minute walk away -- this spot pretty much unlocks a huge chunk of CDMX for any first-time visitor. It was my uncle's first trip (my 2nd) and he already wants to move and get a place out here (not kidding). Along with the neighborhoods mentioned above, we covered quite a lot of ground in the nine days spent here including Teotihuacan, the Zocalo, and Polanco. And tbqh, we could have easily spent all nine days in Roma Norte alone because of the seemingly endless list of coffeeshops, eateries, bars, boutique shops, flea markets, and museums. Bored will not be a word in your vocabulary when you visit.
¡Muchísimas gracias, Ismael! ¡Hasta la prózima vez!
