A beautiful, super-secure apartment in a perfect location. We loved the decor, the washing machine just off the kitchen, the huge flat screen tv (with Netflix) and the friendly building staff. The kitchen was awesome, there was a wonderful neighborhood guide, and the space was perfect for our needs. I would definitely recommend staying here to anyone else, and I myself would stay again.
There were a few small annoyances to be aware of: The apartment was not ready at the stated check-out time, so we had to wait at least another 2 hours, although we were able to leave our belongings there. There’s also a trick to get the hot water going in the showers, often involving a short trip to the kitchen. Finally, there is ongoing construction next door and there is one obnoxious neighbor who seems to watch a very loud tv show every night starting around 11 pm or midnight. That said, good luck finding a significantly quieter apartment in Mexico City—experience has shown me that constant noise is a fundamental part of the CDMX experience. Bring ear plugs.
Also, I don’t consider this a problem of any kind, but another reviewer mentioned sex workers on the street outside at night, and this is definitely true. They are just doing their jobs and not bothering anyone—we rather enjoyed seeing the wide range of outlandish outfits—but if you aren’t comfortable with explaining sex work to your kids, go home before dark or consider staying somewhere else.
