We were looking forward to our first visit to Mexico City and booked one of Gustavo’s properties close to the Roma neighbourhood. It was great to be so close to a metro station, and we were also a short 5-10 minute walk away from some absolutely incredible restaurants! Everything we needed for our three-week stay (groceries, water, laundromat, etc.) was close by and easily accessible.
We had a number of issues come up in the apartment early on that were totally unintended and out of Gustavo’s control (such as the stove running out of propane and the shower flooding during a huge rainstorm), but we were quite impressed with how Gustavo addressed these problems. He demonstrated true hospitality and understanding by even offering us a different place to stay to make up for the earlier inconveniences.
What could have been an unlucky string of circumstances ended up being a really wonderful experience for us, and we are grateful to Gustavo for his commitment to being a good host and person! Mexico City itself is an amazing place to see, and we appreciate Gustavo’s efforts to make our trip a pleasant one!
