My husband and I used to live in Mexico City and were looking for a nice apartment in our old 'hood - mission accomplished! Although this place is in an even better location than where we used to live. The location could not have been better - in between Masaryk and Lincoln Park, blocks from tons of restaurants and activities, but the street was extremely quiet. We realized that coming from the roundabout a block away, you cannot access this street unless you are coming from west to east - so there is little to no traffic down this street. My husband is very picky about noise at night and he had no complaints.
The place is exactly as pictured, although I wish they had a few more pictures to show the entire place. The whole place was spotless, including sheets and towels, which obviously was super important when staying at someone else's house. On the day of check-out, the cleaning lady was already there, so it was clear that Alvaro cared.
The apartment is quite large, especially the living and dining room. The windows let in a lot of light, and it's quiet so it's very relaxing. The master bedroom has an en-suite closet and bathroom. There is also another bathroom, and another bedroom with 2 beds (which we did not use). The kitchen is quite small but we did not use it. Alvaro left us with plenty of towels, TP, and even pods for the coffee maker.
Alvaro was very attentive and responded immediately to messages, which was much appreciated. He works nearby so he was easily accessible during the stay.
Check out the "tianguis" (pop-up market) on Saturday mornings in Lincoln Park to get a taste of the local flavor! Between the taxi sitio on Lincoln Park and Uber, we were able to get around the city easily. Although Polanco has so much to do, you could easily just walk around for days in order to see everything. Easily walking distance to Chapultepec Park (with all the museums), Antara Polanco shopping center, Soumaya Museum, etc.
We'll be back next time we're in CDMX!
