Juan Carlos’ place is in the HEART of Mexico City, in a gorgeous historic building that is conveniently walking distance from major sights like the National Palace, Cathedral, and countless museums. It may not make you feel like a local, but it’s definitely perfect for someone looking to hit the main attractions and not stray too far.
The space is beautiful and I was in love with the many windows, industrial vibe and lovely decor! I also loved the benefit of 24/7 security. All of the guards are so nice :-)
The only downside was the plumbing. As warned, the water definitely doesn’t stay hot for long, and is only good for about 10 minute showers max. Likewise, there was an issue with the toilet where the lever wouldn’t flush, and this did not get fixed for almost 2 days. But this is all to be expected for a super old building I suppose.
Overall, Juan Carlos is a kind and hospitable host. I’d stay here again!
