First off, Marta and Manuel were the most communicative hosts and extremely flexible! We had a couple of major hiccups in our travel plans and they worked with us so kindly and never made us feel like a burden! Absolutely fantastic hosts. The place was so nice and cozy with an immaculate view of downtown Mexico City. Centrally located, you could easily walk to many excellent locations or take an Uber as well!
The bed in the master bedroom was extremely comfortable and we felt right at home with all of the amenities. One thing to note is the hot water for showers is a little touchy and the best thing to get hot water is to let the hot water run for a while because it takes a while to heat up. A tip: once it’s hot, just barely turn on the cold water and then you should get a decently hot shower, though the temperature still does tend to fluctuate often. Also, it does get very hot in the apartment early in the morning and throughout the day since there is no AC so keep that in mind (most apartments in Mexico City don’t have AC though so it’s common). They kindly provide a fan which does help but we also bought another fan just because we wanted to make it comfortable and not too hot for our baby, and we also needed a fan anyway for the future. Keeping the window down throughout the night in the bedroom did also help to cool off the apartment! Do keep in mind if you want paper towels to bring your own supply, and garbage bags too if you’re staying more than a couple of days. Also do not flush the toilet paper in most parts of the entire country of Mexico, the pipes are old and can’t handle the toilet paper.
The view is spectacular and the whole time I was in the apartment I was looking out of the windows! Never got tired of it. The apartment is very spacious and was great for my husband, myself and our 9 month old! We really liked how secure we felt with the guards (who are extremely friendly by the way) and how you need a code to get on the elevator for added security. The hosts also did provide some important baby supplies like a high chair, baby bathtub and pack n play which was extremely helpful for us. Overall, we really enjoyed our stay and the wonderful hosts! We can’t recommend them enough!!
