The Good: Jude and Philippe's place lived up to our expectations. The apartment is in a great location and each day we were greeted by very friendly doormen who kindly buzzed us in and out of the building. The building is located on a nice street in a nice, walkable neighborhood. We felt safe and welcomed. The apartment itself was plenty spacious enough for two adults with a quaint deck off the bedroom and a nice, private, outdoor patio above the flat. It was sparkling clean and comfortable. The trees surrounding the large windows truly made us feel like we had an oasis in the heart of a bustling neighborhood.
The Not So Good: This flat really is a great option for a stay in Mexico City, but we feel it's important to let others know about the only major negative we experienced during our stay. On the Saturday night of our arrival a neighbor was having an extremely loud house party directly above us until approximately 4 am. It is not an exaggeration to say that it was like trying to sleep while on the inside of a nightclub. We don't know how often these parties occur (at least one other review confirms this wasn't an isolated incident) so if you plan to stay on a Saturday be sure to bring noise cancelling headphones and any other sleep aids that might get you through. The rest of our week was the complete opposite of our first night. It was quiet and tranquil and quite comfortable. We'd happily stay here again, but likely would not book for a Saturday.
