Things I enjoyed:
- Sinaloa 44 is a cute, clean apartment nicely located in the fashionable Roma Norte neighborhood.
- Getting entry into the building/keys was uncomplicated through use of a door code and lockbox.
- Within walking distance of a convenience store (Oxxo), excellent restaurants like Contramar, Blanco Colima and Rosetta, delicious taco and torta street-food stands, delicious pastries (Panderia Rosetta) and cute boutique shopping.
- Wi-fi was reliable and there was an included list of nearby restaurants and notable attractions on the dining table.
- Kitchen included a fridge, microwave and coffee maker plus all the requisite things to make a meal if you weren't already stuffed with delicious food from the aforementioned options.
- The apartment has multiple bedrooms and balconies and a cute stained glass window in the entryway.
- Inclusion of anti-mosquito plug-ins was a thoughtful touch which proved to be very useful.
Things to be aware of:
- Through no fault of the lister or building, Mexico City is LOUD, so prepare yourself for that. While at night I slept relatively uninterrupted by noise, I was woken by traffic, construction noise, bicycling tamale vendors with megaphones, hallway noise, and mosquitos.
- Though I was traveling solo, I was only provided with one bath towel so if you'd like additional I'm sure you can request in advance or upon arrival.
- The hot water in the shower is extremely short lived--it only lasts about 30 seconds. It would get cold and then eventually get warm again for a bit. This is great if you're incentivizing yourself to take a quick shower in the morning so you can get out an explore, but rough if you're trying to have a relaxing soak after walking all over the city or returning from a long day climbing pyramids at Teotihuacan.
- While the apartment does come with a king size bed, the mattress itself is rather firm and uncomfortable, the pillows were just as uncompromising, and the top layer was a relatively thin blanket. Upgrades to the bedding would have improved my experience and sleep while staying at Sinaloa 44 tremendously.
