My partner and I stayed at the apartment and worked remotely for a month.
Some highlights:
- Wi-fi speeds were great for two people on video calls throughout the day
- Greenery-filled outdoor space was perfect for relaxing in the afternoons
- Floor-to-ceiling windows let in so much natural light while blackout curtains kept it out when you needed to sleep
- The bed was really comfortable
- Gerry the building porter was always there to help us with packages, storing my bicycle and opening the building door while he was on duty. He was also just an all-around sweetheart.
- Having the 7-eleven right downstairs made it easy to pick up water or other small things anytime we needed it
- The apartment is located on a major avenue, about 10 steps from a metro stop which made it really convenient for getting around
Some lowlights (note: none of these lows would prevent us from booking again - just want to mention for transparency):
- The building lock can be frustrating at times because it takes awhile to get right
- The bedroom (and second workspace) being open made it difficult to make calls at the same time - we often had to whisper in order to not hear each other
- The noise levels from outside never bothered us during the day, but at night when the bedroom was warm, there was no way to sleep with the windows open without getting traffic noise from outside
Overall, the space was great for a long-term stay because it proved to be a centrally located homebase. We loved that we could take a short walk around the block for all our needs (groceries, lunch, etc). For a quick trip to CDMX, we would probably have preferred to stay in more of a "neighborhood" but for a month stay, this was everything we were looking for. Special shoutout to Ana for being a wonderful host and always one message away whenever we needed her.
