Overall good value for the space and location (esp since I booked last minute!):
- Spacious and clean, exactly as pictured.
- No wifi issues
- Kitchen decently stocked and includes toaster oven, blender, pans
- Good natural light from the floor to ceiling windows
- No temperature issues when visiting in early October (vs other reviewer comments. This unit has the bed downstairs instead of lofted. Balcony has sliding doors for fresh air but beware of mosquitoes (that’s an issue for any place in CDMX though)
- Besides the balcony there’s a little raised nook outside too.
- Convenient location within walking distance to Hipodromo, Condesa, Roma Norte, but far enough where you won’t run into English speaking tourist/expats everywhere. Mercado and street vendors nearby.
- Bathroom is basic but clean and had consistent hot water.
- Front desk attendant was helpful with luggage.
- HOMI host support was always reachable and responsive, even late at night (was not expected)

However, if you are sensitive to noise — be aware:
- This particular unit is on the 1st floor right above the garage exit so you can hear ppl walking downstairs and cars coming in/out (sometimes late at night too). Bc of this, I also didn’t feel comfortable taking advantage of the floor to ceiling windows and having the shades pulled up. The bed is right next to the window and I can see ppl directly sometimes.
- The walls are thin but to be fair, I think that’s an issue with most residential units in CDMX (same for all other AirBnBs I’ve stayed in, regardless of price/location variance)
- There is a doggy daycare 2 doors down and I could hear the sad pups howling loudly at night. I think they stopped around 9/10pm? Might be less of an issue for some of the higher floor units?
