Astrid is the coolest! She was an amazing host. Really made the stay comfortable. And once Max is used to you, he is a great little pal to have around.
The pros:
- The kitchen is wonderful and you have lots of fridge space.
- Private bathroom.
- No key! It's electronic so no worries about losing your keys.
- Great location in terms of it being close to many things.
- Weekly maid trips on Wednesdays that will wash your clothes.
The deltas:
- It gets really hot in the bedroom. No fan and no AC and no really good way to get rid of that during the day. Sun rises at 7 AM and the huge windows in the bedroom face east so just get ready for a ton of sun.
- Max is still kind of a puppy. So he jumps a lot. It was at least nice for me to realize why I don't have pets ;)
- Finally, the parking deck next door is SO LOUD. I don't know what it's made out of, but every time the valet takes a car on or off, you hear every inch the car moves.
Neutral point:
- No guests unless it's worked out even before your stay starts. She let my girlfriend visit for the weekend but kind of understood I wouldn't bring other people back.
Overall, I am happy with my stay, I really am. I probably would've gone somewhere different had I had the knowledge I have now.
But, overall, I'm happy. Astrid was an amazing host and a really positive and fun person to be around. If I were to stay here again, it would just be because Astrid is awesome. Maybe if she moves to La Condesa I'll come stay :D
