This studio was an oasis in the heart of a bustling and beautiful neighborhood. My partner and I loved laying in bed or sitting on the terrace and feeling like we were in a forest set in the middle of the city. All we could see were trees but with all the sounds of the city-music, people laughing and dogs playing.
Our favorite part about the studio was our ability to feel at home, while getting to learn about a new place. There were nearby markets to buy food that we prepared in the kitchen. The bed was super comfortable to relax in and bird watch. The terrace (actually whole apartment) got an amazing amount of sun.
Alejandra and the staff downstairs were responsive and helpful with all our questions.
The neighborhood was amazing! Just steps from the front door was an amazing walking trail where I ran every morning and got to see the most dogs ever. There were a bevy of restaurants, panderias, and ice cream shops. We discovered a churro shop called El Moro that we visited three nights in a row. The parks also had opportunities for listening to music, people and dog watching, dancing and walking.
One of the benefits of this apartment-it’s proximity to a really wonderful neighborhood-may be a downside for some people. There are lots of sounds-not from other guests or the restaurant, who were quiet during quiet hours of 9-7-but just the expected sounds of city life. If someone is a light sleeper they should definitely bring really good ear plugs.
A few additional amenities including hair dryer, iron, and some extra cooking supplies (extra cutting boards, Tupperware for leftovers and pantry items like oil, more spices) would also have been helpful.
I also noticed some water stains on the bottom of the long curtains otherwise the studio was very clean and the house keepers did a wonderful job. I appreciated that laundry was included.
Overall, this place was perfect for us and made our time in Mexico City so memorable. I would stay here again!
