I stayed here for two weeks during Covid leading up to Christmas. The picture you see is a very good representation of the room. It’s not a very large room but it was comfortable enough for a two week period. The kitchen is functional but not good for cooking, since there’s no vent & only a small hot plate.
Bertha is one of the most caring and attentive hosts I’ve encountered. She also owns/runs the café downstairs called Valentina, which is very convenient if you just need to pick up something quick to eat. I love the location, because there are many restaurants within a 5 to 10 minute walk. You also have an OXXO two streets down to purchase water and quick conveniences. The room has excellent water pressure, although sometimes a hot water goes off mid shower, and you have to turn it off and turn it back on a couple of times to get the hot water to reset. But the water pressure is fantastic (which you can’t say about most Mexico City apartments).
I have three FYIs/annoyances that just wanna be sure people know if they’re going to stay here.
(1) Internet is fast when connected but spotty and dropped several work calls/meetings of mine. I worked the entire time I stayed here. While Bertha tried to reset the network, it never worked reliably.
(2) because the cafe is downstairs & the suite is on a fairly high traffic street, it can be loud...so again, it made it challenging to have business meetings during the day bc the windows are not double-paned & noise carries inside the room.
(3) lastly, and I talked to Bertha about this and she was very receptive. The windows face right onto a high traffic street and they can see right into the suite whether it be where you sleep or the bathroom...including a direct view while you use the toilet. Yikes! It meant I had to keep the shades closed many times and since the room isn’t really big, that makes one feel like you’re in a prison. I suggested Bertha consider installing a privacy opaque covering on the bottom part of the window so there’s some sort of privacy while keeping shades open. She said she’d consider.
