The apartment is every bit as beautiful as the photos suggest. The bed is very comfortable, and although the apartment is located on Ejercito Nacional - a street that is busy most hours of the day and night - the street noise was never an issue for me.
Elena is a wonderful host, very responsive and on top of her guests' needs. The Wi-fi in the apartment works great, making working "from home" problem-free. The kitchen is well-equipped, though there is no coffee maker (just an electric tea kettle in case you want to make instant). With Starbucks just outside the front door of the building, many guests would never even notice the lack of a coffee maker.
The day bed is probably comfortable as a sleeping surface, but not ideal for watching TV. With so much to see and do just a couple of blocks away in the main part of Polanco, there's not much reason to stay home and watch the tube anyway!
There is 24-hour security in the building and an elevator to the 3rd floor where the apartment is located, so access is safe and worry-free.
Such a wonderfully decorated and comfortable place at such a value-oriented price is a real find for sure. If you don't need right in the center of the action, this could be the place for you!
