I can't recommend this apartment enough if you plan to stay in Mexico City and want to be in the city center. It is a bit more expensive than other listings, but the price is worth the comfort of the home and helpfulness of the hosts. Mariana's mother, Rosario, will be the one to greet you upon arrival. She was very kind, gave us a tour and when we checked out she helped us with our bags to the street as we waited for our Uber to bid us goodbye. We stayed here for a month and felt very safe throughout our entire time here. It is a short walk to the Zocalo as well as the Bellas Artes and there are a ton of options available for street tacos and sit-down restaurants a very short walk away.
If you are staying here long-term, there is a Walmart in a large shopping mall located about a 25 minute walk away that will have everything you need. The kitchen is well equipped with cooking utensils. There is a stove-top, microwave, toaster oven, and blender available for use. They also have a water filter for your use, which was a huge plus! We were given access to their washer/dryer for our stay as well, which was kind of them. I will say that the stove-top is adequate enough for frying eggs and varieties of meat, but don't expect a large pot of water to boil. Otherwise, everything is functional and it is easy to prepare meals. They have essentials such as coffee/tea, sugar, cooking oil, salt and pepper, but beyond that there aren't many spice options, so you'll need to provide your own if you want to cook meals with flavor.
The bedroom is very spacious with a closet, couch, and desk. We loved the pillows and the bed was so comfortable! Our sheets were changed every week for our stay as well as bathroom linens and trash. It did get a little hot with the heavy covers, but they have a strong fan available for use. The large windows leading out to the balcony brings in a beautiful amount of sunlight during the day. It's a nice place to start off your day with a cup of coffee listening to the city wake up. We stayed here for a month, so we have a good understanding of the noise levels of the area. It's a very quiet street during the early morning and day. Week nights are quiet as well - sometimes there are dogs that can bark, but it doesn't last long and isn't very often. The neighbor sometimes plays loud music late at night on the weekends and there is a community hall across the street that can sometimes be loud during the weekends. It's easy to drown out the sound with a white-noise app when you go to sleep so it was fine. You are in a city after all, so there will be some noise. The location and amenities are worth this minor inconvenience for sure!
The metro is located a two minute walk away to Line 1 (pink route) at the station Isabel la Catolica. It is very easy to get to all areas of Mexico City. It takes about 10-15 minutes on the metro to arrive at Chapultepec station in Condesa. Don't rely on Ubers to get around the city - the metro is super cheap, perfectly safe, but it can get crowded during peak hours. I never felt uncomfortable on the metro during my time here, so don't be wary of using it. I do recommend taking an Uber to and from the airport - it would be hard to get around the metro with large suitcases/bags, but could be doable. An Uber to the apartment from the airport is about $8 USD.
Thanks for a lovely stay and we will be back if we are ever in Mexico City again!
