This was NOT the Polanco we had in mind! It's not a charming colonial neighborhood that is lovely to walk around in. It's not easy to get in and out of, even by taxi. We found no restaurants in the neighborhood while walking so had to take taxis to get food. There wasn't drinking water or coffee filters or even a book that gave information in the apartment and the host just left a key for us and had no one meet us so we were really on our own. The sponge to wash dishes was filthy and we had no idea what it may have been used to clean beforehand but the apartment was otherwise very clean ... felt sterile, in fact. Devoid of warmth, if you will! It's certainly not a penthouse. It's a studio. Would be fine for an overnight if you had a business meeting, I suppose but wouldn't recommend for travelers as it's not a user friendly environment. I'd recommend La Condesa or Roma Norte for charming neighborhoods
