Marco's condo was a wonderful oasis in one of the best neighborhoods in CDMX. The flat is nicely appointed with thoughtful touches that reflect the local culture. The space is very modern and well lit. I loved the wall of windows that touch the ceiling and cascade to the floor. If the balcony were larger, it would be an ideal place to just sit and people watch. I loved the smell of lavendar wafting into the apartment. I extended my trip another week and the washer and dryer were a huge bonus. The shower was perfection!! All the hot water you would ever need. I will miss that!
The bedroom is sunken in the rear of the condo. This makes sleeping easy because you are sheltered from any street noise. There is a TV in the bedroom, though I wish there were a TV in the living area instead. The closet space is great, which is important to me. I alway unpack my suitcase and hang my clothes and store things in drawers or on shelves when I am in hotels. I don't like living out of a suitcase so the setup was perfect.
The building and neighborhood are quiet, except for the wonderful sounds of Mexico. Expect to hear the sounds of local vendors delivering delicious food and roaming musical bands. It's such a great area. There's a Roxy a block away, as is the best coffeeshop in the area. We had steaks from Reiz, the best tacos from Taquarte and Senor Taco and so man other places that are in the neighborhood. The location is great!
Marco is the perfect host. He left some great wine, which I loved and ended up buying another to take home (huge thanks for the introduction). Marco's communications are SUPER fast and I loved that he was always a few steps away. He was very sweet and always checked on my randomly to make sure things were going smoothly.
Do yourself a favor and book here. It's like having your own apartment because it feels like home. I will definely be back.
Thanks Marco!
