This minimalist, cozy, well designed studio is the perfect stay for 1 or 2 people traveling to or residing in Mexico City for a short stay who want comfortable, safe accommodations.
Pros :
- Tastefully designed studio with exposed concrete, dark wood, and white cabinets
- Friendly host who is very responsive. Even though I arrived late in the evening, she met me to walk me through the apartment. She secured a water filter so I wouldn’t have to drink single use plastic bottles, and a purchased a fan to create white noise and cool down the apartment (no air conditioning in CDMX because it’s very mild climate).
- Clean bathroom with rainfall style shower head with good water pressure
- Great building amenities (heated pool, expansive gym, 24 hour security)
- Close proximity to the main park, bars and restaurants, and clothing boutiques in Roma/Juarez.
- Lots of closet space — this makes living here for more than 1 week at a time very doable as you can fully unpack
- Good lighting that creates a great mood and vibe.
- Good Internet connection.
- Full kitchen with Nespresso, Toaster, Microwave, Gas range, oven, and refrigerator.
Cons:
- Even though it’s located on a high floor, apartment building is a block from a highway. So, it is relatively loud, even for a city (says a New Yorker). The host was super kind to provide a fan for the apartment which definitely helped. If you are a very light sleeper, I would recommend bringing earplugs.
- There is not full natural light throughout the apartment, particularly in the kitchen / dining space
Overall, I very much enjoyed my stay at Maria’s apartment and would absolutely stay again when visiting CDMX.
