My husband and I just completed a one-month stay at Israel's place. Below is my honest feedback:
Cleanliness - The place was mostly clean, but some small stuff was missed in the kitchen such as the coffee maker which was visibly dirty. When we attempted to clean it, old coffee leaked out. I reached out to Israel, but the solution I was given was to use the electric kettle. We attempted to use the coffee maker once, but it didn't work well, so we ended up buying the cheapest one from Walmart. In addition, there were some crumbs in the silverware tray from a prior guest or two, which really grossed me out. As a result, we ended up cleaning the silverware tray and all the silverware/cookware. Lastly, the blender had a ring of grime that we had to clean before using.
Location - Depending on your needs, this place may not be for you. If you are in CDMX for a short trip with plans to run back and forth between the apartment-tourist attractions-apartment-restaurants, this place will not be for you as you will be in traffic for HOURS. It takes about an hour to get anywhere from the apartment and we would often have trouble getting an Uber driver to agree to pick us up and take us back to the apartment. Luckily, my husband and I stayed in the apartment for 1 month with no intention of going out every day. We also took advantage of local attractions such as La Mexicana park, Centro Santa Fe, which did not take too long to get to, and local eateries in Cuajimalpa, which you could walk to.
Noise - A LOT of noise from barking dogs.
The apartment - modern and attractive. The washer/dryer/drying rack was very helpful. The water in the shower did not get HOT like we're used to; at most, it was warm. If you are using the kitchen sink to wash dishes or the bathroom sink to wash your face, you would be doing so with cold water. The bed was okay, but the pillows were thin and did not provide for a comfortable night's sleep. However, the apartment provided really nice separation of space as there was one room for the bed and the other room was used as an office.
The complex - we were very happy with the building. If you are a pedestrian, there was only one entrance in/out and you had to be buzzed in/out by the guards. Even if you ordered UberEats, the guards would call you and then walk the delivery person up to the unit. If you walked around the terrace, you would always see someone standing guard. The building was also constantly being cleaned. There was a small gym on-site and a small yoga room that I would use. The best part was the building terrace with tables/chairs/hammocks for you to sit, relax and read with a nice view of Cuajimalpa. I will truly miss taking time to myself outside to read and relax in that space. Also, there was a lot of pleasant greenery that was very nicely maintained.
Despite my honest feedback, overall, I'm very grateful that we were able to find this apartment and spend a month there.
