Overall I enjoyed my stay at Gilda's loft. The loft is just as pictured in the listing. The loft has a lot of storage space which was a plus. The neighborhood itself is safe and no more than an 20-30min Uber drive to el Zocalo. I could easily get around with an Uber to all major points of interests for very affordable rates. The loft itself was also very safe as there was always someone at the door guarding and making sure who comes in and out of the building. The only issues I had with the loft was due to the cleanliness of kitchenware (and what was provided) and the quality of the linens and pillows. Upon arrival the kitchenware needed to washed because it was very dirty. The pillows were very worn and stained and bed linens were very worn and poor quality. As soon as both of these issues were mentioned to the hostess, she quickly replaced the pillows and linens although not much could be done about the cleanliness of the kitchenware. The hostess' attentiveness and responsivess was always very much appreciated. She went above and beyond to fix any issues I had with the loft or to help me figure out how to use any of the appliances. One thing that I want to make known is that if you plan to use the kitchen a lot or cook often, this place was not ideal. It was necessary that I purchase many kitchen utensils as hardly anything was provided (plates, silverware, one bad knife, glassware, one small pot, and a very old pan, small blender). Since I rented for a month and a half and had every intention of using the oven and cooking often but I found it very difficult to do anything with what was provided. I had to purchase bakeware, a new pan, spoons, a good knife, large bowl, measuring cups ans spoons, tupperware, etc. I luckily plan to move here the following year and have a place to leave what I purchased with friends, but for those of you who don't and want to make full use of the kitchen be prepared to purchase couple of things.
