Alex and May’s place was really nice and really comfortable! My wife and I enjoyed our stay here. The porters are really nice.
I want to focus on the positives; everything within Alex and May’s control was done very nice. They have nice aesthetics and all of the amenities you may need for a short or long stay. The sheets were clean, there were ample towels, lovely living space and great kitchen. Washing machine works nicely and so does the iron. Also, you’re in the middle of Mexico City, which in itself should keep anyone entertained for a while. Lastly, if you want to just stay in the apartment all day - the windows do not face the streets so it is quiet and relaxing. They also have casting available on their tv so some days I would just watch Netflix on it.
But there are negatives outside of the host’s control
- you don’t have access to opening the building lobby door, so you’re stuck waiting on the porters and sometimes they may be on a short bathroom break or not readily available because they’re working the elevator which means you’ll have to wait a few minutes (not that big if a deal.)
- The hot water doesn’t last long - which I expected in Mexico City, so take short showers.
- The police are always closing streets randomly and without notice, so it might be difficult either getting food delivered, getting an Uber, or driving around yourself.
