Terrific hosts! Rocio and her mom are both charming and helpful.
My best Airbnb experience to date in CDMX.
Colonia Alamos has lovely tree lined streets, is peaceful and clean. Only a 4 minute walk to Metro Viaducto, and 10 minutes south to Metrobus Xola, so the location was very convenient. One of the best parts for me was the few blocks around Mercado Alamos and Parque Alamos, lively and full of activity, a true Mexican neighbourhood feel; shops, restaurants, services. I have been many times to CDMX with extended stays in many different Colonias of the city, and was VERY happy with the neighbourhood feel.
The studio itself was quite spacious, but the kitchen was very small, with very little space to prepare meals; this is typical of many small Mexican apartments, so I managed to make it work without too much difficulty. The bed was very comfortable, with nice better quality linens, changed weekly at the same time as the apartment was cleaned. Towels were changed biweekly as well. It was a bit cold at times, but a space heater is provided to take the chill off. Overall, very pleased with the accommodations.
I would be happy to return and stay with Rocio and her mom.
Muchisimas gracias! Saludos! Steven
