Ectriz was a wonderful host! She was very responsive, kind, and offered many helpful suggestions to us. As for the apartment, there are some positives and negatives:
Positives:
- location in a charming neighborhood with very close proximity to grocery stores, restaurants, shops, and the beautiful Chapultepec park
- fully equipped kitchen with everything you need to enjoy a meal at home, should you choose
- washer/dryer in the apartment at no extra charge
-stylish and thoughtful decor and interior design
Negatives:
- as other reviewers have noted, it is next to a large highway and situated on the first floor. The exterior walls are all floor to ceiling windows / sliding glass doors, so the sounds from the traffic can be very loud, especially if the doors are open for fresh air. (Ectriz does provide ear plugs, though!)
- we visited in winter and found that the apartment could be very cold, especially in mornings and evenings. The marble bathroom was especially cold. While this is likely a big benefit in the summer, if you are traveling in winter I would recommend bringing extra socks and warm clothes to sleep in. Ectriz provides a small space heater and extra blankets as well, which we welcomed!
