I loved the apartment! It looks just as it does in the photos and description - only more spacious in real life. It’s perfect for 2 people! Arcelia was super responsive and helpful when I had questions and the doorman to the building was really friendly.
The area may not be for everyone - don’t expect to walk out to coffee bars and restaurants as you would in Condessa or Roma - it’s more of a neighborhood, which is super great if you’re on a working trip as the space lends itself to the digital nomads of this world. It’s real Mexico City life there, which is wonderful to experience - even if it’s just for a few days.
That’s not to say the area lacks food etc. Two blocks away down the hill is the main drag that has local shops, taquerias, bread shops, coffee shop etc; the market is worth exploring and has great food too.
Location is excellent. Directly north is Polanca and to the East is Condessa/Roma: all just a short, inexpensive cab ride away. ($2 US to be exact).
I would recommend Arcelia’s loft to people who don’t mind going out to noisier areas, but then prefer coming home to a quieter space.
