I spent an entire month in this apartment while on sabbatical, and I cannot recommend it highly enough. It's fabulous.

I loved everything about the apartment -- Tom is a warm and helpful host, the apartment itself was perfect for my needs, and the neighborhood is amazing.

Tom made me feel so welcome. All of his directions were perfect, and he met me right when we agreed to meet. He was very helpful with navigating the neighborhood -- finding markets and taxi stands and helping me get oriented -- and was a welcoming presence every time I saw him. (He lives in the building. I never had a problem, but I always knew that, if I did, Tom was nearby to take care of anything.) He kindly called for a taxi when it was time for me to leave. He's obviously a nice person, pleasant but never intrusive. A perfect host.

The apartment was exactly what I needed. It is not large, but it's quite comfortable, and all of the amenities are top notch. The kitchen, while small, is actually a bit larger than the photos let on, and it has everything that you need to make a good meal (no oven, just stovetop, which wasn't a problem for me). The bed is very comfortable, and there are a variety of quality pillows depending on your preference. The bathroom is nice. The private patio for this apartment was a lovely outdoor refuge. The shared patio on the roof is any city dweller's dream -- nice and spacious. I worked up there with my laptop (the wifi reaches to the roof); I hung out after a day's work up on the roof with a glass of wine; and I even took a nap there one day. It's so peaceful. On-site laundry was free and easy to use.

The apartment is right on the boundary of Roma Norte and Condesa, providing easy access to both. I could not have asked for a better location, to be honest. Everything was within an easy walk: great coffee, restaurants and bars, taxi stands, and all the rest. It's a (pleasant) 10-minute walk at the most to the nearest Metro station. The neighborhoods are super hip, with young professionals zipping about and going about their business. It's a 3 minute walk to the lovely Avenida Amsterdam, where you can find everything you would want, even a smooth and safe path for jogging.

I plan to go back to Mexico City in the near future, and if I do, I plan to stay again in this apartment.
