First and foremost, Xavier may be the greatest airbnb host I've ever had the pleasure of meeting. This listing/his place was the cleanest, most accurate to the photos, and best listing I have ever stayed in during my time using airbnb. My wife and I decided to do a one month stay in Mexico City and I am happy to report that this listing completely exceeded and blew away all of our expectations.
Xavier was extremely responsive and greeted us on our first day there. He gave us a tour of our place as well as who to reach out to and how if we ever had any issues. The internet was strong and caused us no issues (we had at one point 4 people using it and faced no issue). The listing lets in a lot of natural light and the houseplants create a really warm and inviting atmosphere. Both bedrooms were incredible spacious, the closets surprisingly large and easily accommodated both myself and my wife's clothing. In regards to the restrooms, both had continuous hot water and we had absolutely no issues on this front. A thoughtful touch was the water filter that was in the kitchen. You don't have to make runs to the store for water if you are worried about that.
Location: We love love love loved this neighborhood. You are walking distance to great restaurants on Rio Lerma and Paseo de Reforma. If you can, try to go on a run or even walk on sundays. The city turns this beautiful street into a pedestrian friendly activities center. You can rent a bike, jog, walk, or do some zumba with the awesome locals of Mexico City. If you're feeling an itch to go to Condesa or Roma, you can easily walk it (about 2 miles) or take a super short ~10 minute uber to these neighborhoods. You are walking distance to Polanco and Chapultepec Park.
This listing really gives you great value for its location. If you utilize wework like we do, there are two that are about a 10 minute walk from here.
Cleanliness: This listing will stay constantly clean. Xavier and Maria were great in coordinating times to keep the apartment clean.
Communication: Xavier will be the fastest respondent to any questions, comments, or concerns you have. The lovely security guards will also make your stay very pleasant. They are extremely nice and charming and by the time we left, my wife almost cried, because we felt we were leaving good friends behind.
In closing, after staying here for one month, my wife and I are active looking to buy a place in this neighborhood. I could not recommend this listing enough. If you want to live in an exciting part of Mexico City, this is it. If you want to have an engaging host who will do everything in his power to make your stay perfect, I absolutely recommend this listing. If you want to leave with solid and fun memories of Mexico City and want a valuable listing that will allow you to complete your Mexico City bucketlist without breaking the bank, this accommodation is it.
Thanks again Xavier! My wife and I had an incredible time. Mezcal on us next time!
