Overall, a really good stay. Jorge is a fantastic host and great at checking in and responding quickly. This space really had everything I needed for my 3 week stay (5 gallon jug of filtered water, spices, oil, coffee filters, cleaning supplies, trash bags, toilet paper, extra towels, washing machine, extra sheets, etc). When I arrived, I felt I could put my bags down and relax.
Pros:
- Escandon is a safe and amazing neighborhood, and feels much more authentic than Condesa/Roma, even though it is about 15 minutes walking from those areas. I walked around every night alone and never felt unsafe.
- Small community park and big market a block away
- Comfortable bed
- Washing machine in the back (but that is all it is; based on a past review I expected some sort of lounging area but it is just a space to hang clothes)
- Ground floor
- Apartment stayed pretty cool even during a warm month like April
- Pets allowed
Cons:
- Furniture and decor could use some updating, but overall ok
- The windows in the living/dining room did not have screens, so I could not open them out of fear of my cat escaping
- Can be noisy sometimes (street noise & neighbors/pets)
- Trash disposal requires drop off at the park, but this shouldn't be an issue if you are not planning a long term stay
Overall a great spot and I would highly recommend it
