Pros:
• It’s walking distance to local restaurants, bakeries, convenience stores, pharmacy, and also popular neighborhoods such as Roma Norte, Cuahutémoc, condesa, a short uber ride to polanco. It is central to all the places that you’d wanna see.
• Has basic necessities such as, fridge, small kitchen, T.V., pot, pan, microwave, utensils, plates, comfy bed, closet.
• hot water in kitchen and bathroom
• good wifi
• nice rooftop
• portable fan
• washer & dryer
• very pleasant staff
• I did not use public transportation, but if you want to take the public transportation, it’s literally 20 steps from here.
Cons:
• know that there is no air conditioning, (A proper air conditioning unit that actually gets cold)
• proper ventilation so air can circulate because it can be very hot and “stuffy.”
Speaking from my personal experience— I suffered from severe allergies being in the room.
• no bug screens, although not very many bugs got in, just a few pesky flies.
• Expect that you will hear loud music all day and night because the other side of the building is a bar/club with loud music.
• walking out of the alley to the street is very hectic and crowded because the metro/bus/public transportation station is right there. So again speaking from my own opinion— at times it was a bit overwhelming for me, but it may not bother you.
I stayed here for 20 nights for the purpose of exploring the city with my significant other and to also do remote work. It was good overall. I also am able to tolerate the loud music most of the time, but if I really needed to focus or have some quiet time, I would go to a cafe nearby instead.
