I spent the entire month of September ‘21 at Gabriela’s Airbnb and had a great experience. The apartment is modern and well-kept and is in a great location in Polanco. The area is very safe and there are two lovely doormen that work at the apartment, adding an extra layer of security. I was minutes away from everything I needed- grocery stores, pharmacies, banks, and excellent restaurants. The apartment is only about a 10 minute walk from Chapultepec Park and there are bus and train stations nearby to access other parts of the city.
Gabriela was a lovely host and was incredibly responsive. I’m generally not one to reach out and ask for much, but when needed, she was always very prompt with her replies. She reached out to check in on me multiple times throughout my stay, which was very thoughtful.
Because of the duration of my stay, Gabriela arranged for the apartment to be cleaned once a week, which was a nice added perk. The apartment is well-decorated, the bed is comfy, and it’s very spacious for 1 or 2 people.
A couple of things to note: the shower is not in an enclosed space, so privacy becomes an issue if you’re here staying with someone you’re not very close to. And the kitchen is limited in the cooking supplies offered. There are basic utensils for eating and some pots and pans, but if you’re trying to make an elaborate meal, you might have to get creative.
I had an excellent stay at Gabriela’s and would absolutely stay again when I am in Mexico City!
