The number one benefit of Silvio's apartment is the value for the location. You're in Condesa, a 10-15 minute walk from everything this wonderful neighborhood has to offer. And if you want to venture to Roma Norte, it's about a 20-25 minute walk away. Most of the places we looked at in these neighborhoods were a few hundred dollars more per month than Silvio's. Since we were basically using the space for sleeping, we weren't overly concerned about the details. The bed was comfortable and the apartment was clean, and that worked for us. Maid service once a week makes sure the place stays clean. (Wouldn't mind nicer towels though!) It is an older apartment building with wabi-sabi charm. All windows open to vertical atriums on both sides of the apartment, so when your windows are open, expect to hear sounds from the other residents whose windows are open, too. Nothing overly noisy, though. The residents are very respectful of sharing the space with other residents, which is a plus. The unit is on the third floor (fourth floor for US residents) and there is no elevator. Silvio greeted us upon arrival and helped bring our luggage upstairs. He shared a variety of restaurants with us and sent links and maps via WhatsApp, too. A great help. The apartment also has a washer-dryer unit, which is a big plus for long-term visits, and the kitchen has the basic essentials you would need for preparing simple meals. Overall, it's a bare-bones apartment with plenty of room for 2 people at a great price in an outstanding location.
