My stay didn’t get off to a great start, with my friend/driver getting us terribly lost on our way from the airport. So lost, in fact, that Eric started to worry.
Anyway, he was patient enough to wait for me at the apartment for about two hours, which was greatly appreciated (it was even fairly late in the evening by that time).
It’s a really nice apartment to come ”home” to. Spacious, homey and comfortable. And Eric had even left a bottle of wine as a welcome present.

As for location, it’s in a great place. I spent most of my time in Condesa with my friends, and it’s all pretty much within walking distance. Eric had left a list over his favorite places (restaurants, cafes etc) in the neigborhood, which was a nice little touch of him.
I stayed for a little over a week, and had no real complaints. I did lose the water one evening, but Eric sorted it out very quickly via email(!).
All in all, I’d say Eric’s place is a great option if you’re looking to stay in one of teh nicer areas of the city. Peaceful, quiet, great location, very responsive and helpful host.

I do have one possible reservation, which I should mention. During the week, I woke up with some nasty bug bites. I had gotten them during the night, and I intitially thought they were mosquitos (I foolishly slept with the window open the first couple of nights), but they kept showing up even with the window closed. I still have no idea what bit me, I never saw any other bug, so I can’t say if it was mosquito, ant, bedbug or spider (the highest contenders), I can only say they showed up during the night.
Apart from that, I enjoyed my stay a lot, and would definitely consider renting from Eric again. I can only hope I left as good an impression as a lodger as he did as a host. This was my first stay in an airbnb flat, so I might have missed some of the unwritten rules.
