Andres' place is perfectly located within Polanco -- one of the best neighborhoods in Mexico City. The apartment is located just 2 blocks from a supermarket and walking distance to virtually all of the great restaurants in Polanco.
For the price point, we thought it was a little expensive (as you can get a suite in a 4.5 star hotel for half the price) for what we got, but overall we enjoyed our stay.
The pros:
- Apartment is set off a busy street, though his unit faces behind, so there is limited noise and very quiet at night!
- Friendly doormen
- Has everything you need (coffee maker, smart TV, etc.)
- Easy for Uber dropoff and pickup
- 2 blocks to Metro station -- we did not use the Metro at all since we just used Uber, but if you need it, it is there!
- Apartment was very clean for our arrival
- Has an elevator!
- Towels, etc. were provided
The cons:
- No central heating or A/C -- we stayed in the winter where it wasn't a big deal, though I imagine in the summer it can get pretty hot
- Even though the apartment was cleaned very well, maintenance could be improved to turn it into a true luxury listing: some tiles were missing, ceiling lights were broken/missing, paneling in the the kitchen and bathrooms very worn, etc.
- The apartment is secured by a smart lock, though it would be great to also have the dead bolt also working -- though we were not too worried since there was also a doorman
Thank you for the nice stay!
