We stayed in Alex's and May's Airbnb for four nights, and it was the perfect crash pad for a first-time visit to the city. The apartment is within walking distance of everything in Centro [and a 30-40 minute walk to many great spots in Juarez]. I never felt unsafe in the neighborhood [or walking those distances].
My favorite thing about the booking was the complimentary luggage storage. Our arrival flight landed a little before 6 AM, and our departure flight was after 8 PM. As such, having a place to store our luggage before our 3 PM check-in and after the noon check-out really helped us take advantage of the city. Our trip was almost five full days for that reason. If they didn't have luggage storage, we would have: had to find a place where we could bring luggage (like a hotel restaurant); and just sit around and wait, rather than explore the city. It would have ended up feeling like a three-day trip.
Additionally, while we could have gone no contact until the end of the trip, I appreciated how communicative May was. She contacted us to check if we needed anything and even sent recommendations. We could tell that she and Alex pride themselves on their hosting. In fact, before booking, I was a little afraid of the shower pressure, given a couple of reviews from May 2022. But since then, it's been fixed and is extremely powerful.
