I stayed at Ale’s apartment for two months while I lived in Mexico City and took language classes. I absolutely loved the apartment and Ale!
First, the apartment itself is even nicer and larger than it looks in the photos. Ale has added charming touches everywhere, and it felt really relaxing to come home to the space every day. The building also felt very safe, both in terms of the front gate and the fact that it didn’t have any damage from the recent big earthquake.
Second, Ale herself was simply amazing. She greeted me when I arrived and was always available in person or by text if I needed something or just had a question about the city. She dropped off extra towels when I had a friend visit. Ale is so genuinely warm and welcoming, I felt very lucky to have her as a host.
Finally, the location. The apartment is at the southern most point of the Condesa, so you are close to everything without being right in the center. I always felt safe and walked everywhere, with the exception of taking inexpensive Uber trips if I were alone at night. Next trip, I might explore a new neighborhood like Roma Norte. But I loved experiencing the Condesa this time.
