My boyfriend and I just enjoyed a 5 night stay at Andres’s home. The location was convenient, secure and quiet. We were able to walk to Chapultepec Park, the Angel of Independence, Arena Mexico (lucha libre) and eat in/explore the pleasant Roma and Condesa neighborhoods. Mini marts (Oxxo) were only a short walk away (<2 blocks), which is where we went to buy bottled water. However, there is a filter attached to the kitchen tap. We also appreciated that there is a small powder room off of the living area, which really helped us both to get ready in the morning. We never experienced an issue with the shower water pressure or temperature.
The building is new and gated. A guard appeared to be present at all hours and the guards were all very nice. Check-in was convenient and we were able to come and go easily. The building was pretty quiet - I only saw 1 other resident (friendly) the entire stay there. We did come home early (3p) from sightseeing on one of the weekdays and heard some construction noise though.
Andres was very friendly and responsive as a host. He left some pastries for us upon check-in and provided a detailed book of nearby food/drink recommendations, which was thoughtfully written. After checking in, we had issues connecting to the wifi. Andres responded immediately and even came later that day to help. Unfortunately, the wifi continued to act up so Andres arranged for someone from the internet service to come and fix the issue. Since we were not going to be home, he also made sure someone else was there to supervise as well.
The apartment itself is comfortable for two people and we enjoyed sitting out on the balcony in the evenings. Our only minor complaint here is that we would get quite warm, so a fan in the bedroom would have helped. We opened the balcony door and windows, but these aren’t screened - allowing mosquitoes, other flies in. I think getting bit is inevitable though, so this is very minor.
All in all we enjoyed CDMX and we will be back!
