Nicolas’ penthouse is a perfect place to pick if you are looking to stay in Roma Norte. The location really can’t be beat— you are walking distance to an amazing number of restaurants, cafes, vintage shops, Panadería Rosetta, and so much more. The building has a 24/7 security guard who lets you in and out of the building at all times. The penthouse itself is also beautiful! You’re on the 11th floor and you have a breathtaking view of Mexico City. The penthouse has all the amenities you could want, including washer/dryer, solid WIFI, and the hot water in the building was never an issue (in my experience in CDMX hot water isn’t always guaranteed). I would absolutely stay here again if I had a group of 3-5 people as it’s a fairly large place.
But, we did have a few small hiccups during our visit. The day we arrived one of the elevators wasn’t working, which was a bit inconvenient but it was fixed the next day. Also, we lost power our second night (we were the only apartment in the building that lost it) so we were unable to charge our electronics or use the WIFI. However, the host was highly communicative, was able to resolve the following day, and gave us a small refund. Frankly, these were likely one-off issues that were not the host’s fault but they were our experience during our trip. But as I said, I would likely stay here again for the location, views, and amenities!
