It took me some time to write this because I just wanted to make sure I wasn't forgetting anything. This is hands down one of my favorite Airbnb stays ever. I will break it down and address everything I liked about this place.
First of all, I chose this airbnb because of the location. It is right in the middle of Condesa. I had a weird flight which was landing at 4am. I asked Oscar ahead of time if I could check in earlier. I did not really think it would really work out but I messaged him right when I was about to hop into the taxi. The second we arrived at the airbnb, Oscar magically appeared, and gave us a tour of the apartment, located in a beautiful art deco-ish renovated building. It was exactly as displayed in the pictures, even better.
Overall, I loved the decor, felt very peaceful. The bed was really comfortable, the area was really lovely, filled with coffee shops, bars and stores. The apartment was totally quiet at night which allowed for uninterrupted sleep. We actually used the kitchen one night and it has everything you might need. Oscar has a wide range of premium tea and even left eggs, bread, jam and fruits for a proper breakfast. Since the water is not recommended for drinking in Mexico city, he also left a huge gallon of purified water for our convenience.
I also loved how good the house smelled. There is also a nice brunch place right below. We tried it one morning and it was really good. Definitely recommend it. Oscar was also super receptive and checked up on us via email when the weather was particularly rainy one night. Most importantly, the shower had good pressure and unlimited hot water. I was so happy about this because it's been hit and miss for me during my travels in Mexico.
Other notes: the wifi works fine and the metro is less than a beautiful 10 min stroll from the house. Although, I have not used it, I did notice that there was what seemed to be a secure taxi stand right in front of the house also.
One final word:. I had many doubts about renting a place with no reviews( at the time of my booking). I took the plunge and I couldn't be happier. Oscar is an excellent host and I have gained a local friend for my future travels. As a traveler himself, Oscar Definitely understands true hospitality and how to make someone feels at home during the travels. I would definitely recommend this place and looking forward to staying there again in the near future. Gracias para todo Oscar :)
