Cristina and Ana’s apartment was in a great area! It was in Roma close to a lot of shops, bars, restaurants and coffee shops. We were able to walk everywhere! There was also a nice plaza right around the corner. About a 20 minute walk to Parque Mexico/España. Ana accommodated a late check in (our flight did not arrive until after 4pm) and sent her brother when she would not make it on time, so we didn’t have to wait long. She also allowed us to leave our bags after checking out because our flight did not leave until later that evening.
Our only problem was with the cleanliness of the apartment. We felt the bathroom could have been cleaned better, specifically the toilet and the floors. The blankets and sheets in the bedroom also smelt pretty bad, kind of musty. We weren’t able to use to main comforter and had to use a much smaller blanket that was in the closet, so we were kind of cold at night.
There was also construction at the apartment building and right outside the bedroom window. They were actually hammering and working on our window, so it was very very loud starting at 7am everyday. I would say bring ear plugs if you’re a light sleeper, but we had earplugs and they didn’t help at all- this was just too loud. So plan on waking up early if the construction continues. I think a heads up about this would have been nice. I assume they knew about the construction, since it was happening to their building and not just outside.
There was also a party next door on Thursday night until 3:30am. Not the fault of the hosts, but I saw someone else mention this as well.
Overall a good location.
