This listing proved to be just as advertised: spacious enough for two people, and perfect for any remote work setup as Internet connection was stable enough. The apartment was equipped with some basic items like dish washing soap and toilet paper, but only enough to last a few days.
If you’re staying in Mexico City for the first time, I would recommend to stay elsewhere. While the area in which the apartment was found proved to be chill, it’s nearby one of the Historic Center’s rougher parts: Tepito. A lot of construction work is being done in the immediate surroundings, so 1. Some streets (República de Chile) were unlit and isolated after dark and 2. Cars following a GPS experienced a fair share of rerouting (because of the narrow one lane that is República de Peru, it’s difficult to have cars waiting in front of the Airbnb building).
Big fan of the nearby Plaza de Santo Domingo and of the old school storefronts (the Farmacia Coliseo’s signage likely dates back to the 1950s). Events from the Arena Coliseo Lucha Libra and Centro Cultural de Mexico Contemporáneo can be heard loud and clear from the apartment, even with the balcony doors closed. Sunlight is omnipresent, which was great during the day, but made sleeping in past 6 a.m. rather difficult.
