Pros:
- Feels safe
- Good area with lots of little gems tucked away in close walking distance.
- Ricardo is responsive and communicates very well.
- Internet was great for calls, meetings and WFH.
- Pretty quiet street and building seems well built so not a lot of noise sharing walls.
- Lots of table/work space.
Challenges:
- Bed is small - don’t recommend for long stay with 2 people.
- Apartment on 1st floor doesn’t get a lot of light. (Could be a pro given…)
- The ac heat pump is located in the bathroom so it pumps cold air into the room and hot air into the bathroom which makes the bathroom unbearably hot. If you’re lucky, you’ll also get some condensation drips on you while you’re using the toilet. We chose this place because of its location and AC knowing it would be hot in Mexico City during the time of our visit but heat pumping back into the unit was kind of counterproductive. AC seems to be an uncommon thing, in Mexico City and as Ricardo said, his unit is the only one in the building with AC. It wasn’t a big deal, we were only there for 5 nights but I think it would have helped lay some expectations knowing ahead of time.
- It’s not well kept or taken care of/cleaned
With that said…it’s a fine place to rest your head for a few nights. It’s does the job.
