I've become a regular to Mexico City and I've stayed at various AirBNB's in different Colonias in Roma, Reforma, Condessa and I just haven't really found one which I like. UNTIL NOW! Manuel's place in Polanco is 1st class! The pictures don't really do it any justice! Its a simple one bedroom, decorated simple and very clean. The kitchen is well equipped. There is nothing worse than traveling to an airBNB for a weekend and you have to purchase salt and pepper, jam, olive oil etc. It has the bare necessities of spices and things to get going in the kitchen. There was complimentary water, coffee, espresso machine with provided espresso, tons of toilet paper and most importantly a bottle of wine to pop open upon my arrival. I had a hot water issue and as soon as I told Manuel, he was there in 25 minutes (with ANOTHER bottle of wine) and the issue was immediately resolved. It was actually my fault in regards to the hot water problem. Not Manuels. The concierge in the lobby is wonderful and its tightly secured. At the end of 1 week, I was sad to say goodbye to the lobby staff. They were always so helpful! The apartment is situated in one of the best areas of Polanco. If your looking for high end designer, gourmet culinary meals, 24 super markets, great street food, bustling nightlife, then this is the place!!! The apartment is on floor 14 and the noise is a bit loud from the street. But thats ANYWHERE in Mexico City!!!! Your in the largest city this side of the world. So expect some noise. Great host! Excellent location! Even better Value! I can't wait to return to Mexico City and stay at this place again!!! It really felt like a home away from home- Thank You kindly Manuel!
OH....and most importantly.....The washer/dryer worked GREAT and the water was boiling HOT in the shower!
