I loved my stay at Rafael’s place. The location is amazing (amazing bakery, restaurants, cafes, bars very close by). I was also able to get to work in la reforma with a short walk.
I didn’t get much street noise at all. There is a dog (or two) in the building that barks in the morning/day. I didn’t hear it much during bedtime and hence was not a problem for me.
Outside the apartment, the hallway has a weird smell. Since other reviewers had written about it, I went in knowing it. The hallway was smelly but none of it came into the apartment. So that did not bother me at all.
The apartment was clean and super functional (even had coffee pot, coffee and sugar stocked!)
Rafael is super responsive. I got there at 6.30a after a red eye. I needed to get some sleep and get to work. Rafael was at the door waiting with keys. He was waiting for me since 5.30a already!!
I would definitely stay here again.
