Alonso's place is truly beautiful. My husband and I are from San Francisco, and as soon as we walked in, we felt so at home. The building is an old Old Deco era building, and Alonso has kept the period details while adding modern upgrades to the kitchen and bath and chic design features throughout.
Alonso was a wonderful host and great communicator before, during, and after our stay. He provided bottled water and coffee. It was absolutely a seamless, easy, and perfect Air BnB stay, just how we always hope our stays will be!
The bed was comfortable, the towels were fluffy, there were plenty of household supplies, and the washer/ dryer was a fantastic amenity! The location is walkable to many restaurants and coffee shops and centrally located to other Mexico City sights. For instance, I took a 15 minute Uber to Chapultepec Park, then enjoyed a leisurely 45 stroll back to the apartment.
Other reviewers have mentioned that the apartment can be loud. Yes, that is true, but it is true for all of Mexico City. No matter where you stay, please bring ear plugs.
We drowned out the sound in the bedroom by closing the wonderful, thick blackout curtains and the bathroom door. Then it was pretty quiet for sleeping, certainly quieter than another place we stayed in the city. Overall, I highly recommend!
