Javier’s place is exactly as it’s described and seen in photos: it is clean, roomy, modern and has a beautiful view.
His response time is quick and friendly. You’re not any any challenges communicating with him or trying to reach him.
The place:
If you’re planning to spend time cooking and laundry, all the tools and equipment are available. We didn’t cook at all, but did notice that there aren’t any basic condiments or added touches like coffee filters and/or coffee. Expect to buy everything you need.
The views are amazing - especially at night. However, the city sounds, not at all. These sounds obviously can’t be controlled, but because the floor is so high (16th) you can hear everything from vendors shouting, loud music, construction, etc. The windows are floor to ceiling and have electronic shades, though they’re not black out shades. So if sleeping soundly is your thing, this may not be the apt for you and you’re better off staying in a smaller building away from the city sounds. But if you like all that jazz, you’ll enjoy it here.
Amenities: the pool, jacuzzi and gym are not accessible anytime in that you are required to make a reservation and are limited to 50 min. Masks are required as well as pool caps. If you’re exploring the city and therefore have no idea when you’ll be at the apt, it’s proves to be a challenging amenity to enjoy. But if you’re staying here to work, then my guess is it’ll be fine.
Location: we walked and ubered everywhere though discovered we spent a lot of dining time in Roma Norte, Condesa and Polanco - which are all equally great to dine, bars, dancing and a fantastic area to jog (they have beautiful paths that are simply green and inviting). In any of these areas, you can easily find anywhere to eat and hang. These neighborhoods would’ve been our ideal location as they were central to everything including when we’d leave the city.
