Julio’s apartment is a beautifully designed studio space that is both functional and comfortable. It is tastefully furnished. The beautiful custom-made kitchen cabinets and bedroom closet area are the highlights of the space. The long kitchen table is a great prep space as well as eating area, and the large sectional is particularly comfortable and provides a lot of seating space. The water pressure in the shower is great (rare in our experience in CDMX!) and there’s even a bathtub (also rare in Mexican apartments!) The apartment is very quiet—you cannot hear the street noise--which is always a great find (although you can hear people in the stairwell.) The location is ideal in the up-and-coming colonia Juarez, with lots of trendy shops, cafes, and bars. (Be sure to go to Cicatriz, a nearby café and bar that serves great food and cocktails, and Marsala y Maiz, a fantastic Mexican/Indian restaurant.) The apartment is on the first floor (what we would call the 2nd floor in the U.S.) and because of the orientation of the windows and position of the apartment, it is not bright and sunny during the day, although the most is made of the existing windows. We were as comfortable in this studio space as we have been in one- and two-bedroom apartments we’ve rented in CDMX, and you can’t beat the location.
