This little loft is a great home away from home for a few days, as long as you're not too picky about a good shower and don't mind sleeping with ear plugs.
Beds are super comfortable and have the right amount of bedding. Yes, apartments in Mexico City can be chilly in the winter as very few places have heating. A sweater and slippers should resolve that!
Location is great. A pleasant walk to Reforma, lots of businesses around the block to take care of your needs like food and laundry. Reliable WiFi and the TV had Netflix (great with the kids!)
A few cons:
- The shower was pretty hard to regulate. It would get scalding hot even when positioned in neutral, and then cold if moved ever-so-slightly towards cooler. I could get a few seconds of pleasant temperature by transitioning the handle from one side to the other. While I could get by with a hot short shower, this definitely made bathing our little kids a challenge, nevermind the risk of burning someone.
- This apartment is at street level (planta baja), with its front door right next to the building entrance/lobby. There is security 24/7 - which is a good thing! - but that also means people will be chatting just outside your door at any time of the day or night! There is barely any sound proofing so we could hear everything, including some very loud ringtones. It got particularly busy/annoying on a weekend night, thankfully it was our last night there.
Overall, I'd still recommend this apartment, as it wasn't expensive and HOMi was very reliable as a host. The inconveniences were minor and can be mitigated if you know what to expect.
