I stayed here for a month. Some of this review is specific to room 1803, I'm not sure if the listing is attached to a specific room, or if management assigns an available room when you arrive. The rooms are in a high rise called Nomad Living Mítikah which you can look up in the internet if you want more information about the facility before booking.
THE GOOD
- Furnishing and decor is simple but functional. The bed is comfortable.
- Beautiful swimming pool on the 18th floor outdoor lounge. It's busy in the afternoons and evenings but mostly empty in the early morning. At 10 meters, it is just long enough to do lap swimming for fitness.
- Good supermarket in the basement of the building. You don't need to go anywhere else for grocery shopping. Also there is a 24-hour taqueria called La Chupacabra across the road and it is excellent.
- Easy walk to all the restaurants and nightlife in old Coyoacán, and to the Viveros de Coyoacán, which is a very large, pretty green space ideal for running or just enjoying peace and quiet. Also, the Cineteca Nacional is a 5-minute walk away, this is a spectacular amenity if you are a film buff.
THE BAD
- Room 1803 is right beside the fitness room, which is well equipped with a variety of cardio and weight machines as well as free weights. Maybe if you are a fitness nut this location is great, but for anyone else, it is terrible. People start using the machines at 6am and don't finish until at least 10pm. There are a lot of amateur lifters who drop the weights hard on the floor, so all day long you hear this, thud thud thud. The trainers like to keep the doors open for ventilation and they get aggressive if you try to close them.
- The entire outside wall of room 1803 is southeast-facing glass and it gets about 8 hours of direct sunlight every day. There is no climate control other than one small window, so it gets very hot in the room during the day (at least in March-April when I was there).
- I have been doing the digital nomad thing all over the world for the last 5 years, and when I first saw the listing I thought the place seemed like it was designed for me, but in the end I was disappointed by the co-working amenities. The big common room on the 19th floor was too hot to be comfortable to work in. The smaller common room on the 1st floor had a good climate, but was often very crowded and noisy. The 18th floor outdoor lounge was breezy and comfortable, but the WiFi there was unreliable for me, so I couldn't take video calls there. I ended up working in my room most of the time for the solid internet connection, but suffered from the heat and the noise from the fitness room.
BOTTOM LINE
Nomad Living Mítikah is probably ok for short stays, but seems like it has too many problems to be a good remote working base for long stays. If they give you room 1803, ask for a different apartment, the noise from the fitness room is unbearable.
