This apartment overlooks the enchanting Parque México, and we couldn't imagine a more delightful home base for our first-time visit to Mexico City.
First, it's location, location, location. From here, which is in Colonia Hipódromo (within the broader Condesa area), it's a safe and pleasant walk to the rest of the picturesque Condesa and Roma neighborhoods. For other farther-away sights, Ubers are plentiful, and we never had to wait more than a couple minutes for a ride from here.
The apartment itself is clean, modern, and tastefully appointed. It did not lack in any significant amenities. Throughout our week-long stay, we spent many afternoon and evening breaks sitting on the apartment's balcony or the building's common rooftop area, having wine and snacks (a Superama market is just a short walk away) while people-watching over the busy street corner and park.
There is also the restaurant downstairs, which is terrific for breakfast or a quick drink in the afternoon and seems to attract all manner of colorful locals and tourists alike.
And Alejandra, our host, gave clear instructions and was very responsive to questions, responding to messages via AirBnB easily within an hour.
Overall, we loved staying here, and I'm not sure I would even bother considering another place on a future visit.
