The apartment is cute and literally in the middle of busy/touristy Chinatown. The tiny food shops in Chinatown and around the downtown area did not disappoint. You can find authentic Mexican street food within one or two blocks. It is small but too cozy for two people traveling with big luggage. It’s also located in an alley with no car circulation, and unfortunately there was a protest blocking the street closest to where Chinatown began, so we had to walk several blocks with our luggage to get to the apt - at no fault to our hosts, it was just bad timing.
The location is very very lively, and for the most part, during the day we felt safe. We were warned by family and locals to avoid going out at night in the area, so unless we were with family and friends, we stayed in. The rooftop is great, but the internet did not work, so we couldn’t do any work up there. The apt internet was GREAT. Our only critique is that the place has one door leading to the balcony which was the only window/ventilation it offered, making the apt very warm. The fan offered some cooling but not enough for these warm Mexico days and nights. The safety of the building was top notch regardless of what time we came or left, which was fantastic.
Great deal for the price and to meet our basic needs. Thank you!
