In summary: excellent location + incredibly comfortable beds + fast responses, with just a couple of adjustments stay will be perfect. I would return.

Wonderful location within Condesa, with a doorman downstairs 24/7.
The view at night was wonderful, and the beds were some of the most comfortable beds I’ve ever slept on - firm yet wonderfully dense- it’s like sleeping on a really thick pound cake?? I would overlook a lot of things because of how comfy the beds were.
I found the kitchen stocked enough to heat up something simple, we ate all of our meals as takeout or meals out. The washer and dryer was easy to use. They left a bottle of wine for us to enjoy, we’re weren’t drinking at the time but the gesture was appreciated.
Because the unit wasn’t booked the nights bookending our stay, I was able to arrange for early check-in/late check-out by several hours, for 1/2 the nightly rate each time. I appreciate the host’s flexibility and willingness to make this happen and I view it as a very reasonable arrangement.
There’s no AC or central heating, I did not need them staying in late October.
I also appreciate the host’s willingness to take feedback - the sofa had a few noticeable stains on the cushions, so I suggested they do a deep clean after we depart. They agreed and proactively made a small refund for us to have coffee. While I did not request this, I appreciate this gesture, and I’m hopeful that future guests won’t have the same issue.
