We just spent over 5 weeks at this great apartment and it was one of our favorite AirBNB stays to date.
Andy is a great host and communication throughout was excellent. We met her once when she came to change a light bulb on our first afternoon. That same evening, she had a care package sent to us with water, beer, soda and snacks. Very thoughtful.
The apartment is exactly as pictured...probably better. Stylish and comfortable with many nice touches including some beautiful houseplants. The apartment is airy and gets great light during the day and dusk.
The big draw for us initially was the large private terrace. We spent a lot of time out there and bought plants to add to the existing ones. We had butterflies and a few hummingbirds visit during our stay. you can get a nice bit of sun in the morning and early afternoon. The outdoor lights are a nice touch.
It was great having 2 large bedrooms with separate bathrooms. The beds are comfortable and there are plenty of blankets if it gets chilly. Both bedrooms have sliding glass doors onto the terrace.
Since this was a new listing, all the amenities were new. The only issue we had was that there isn’t an oven or dishwasher as originally listed. The 5-burner stove, microwave and toaster were fine for our stay. The Kitchen area is a bit dark, but there are smaller portable lights that can be moved around.
Showers have good water pressure and hot water and were fully equipped with shampoo, conditioner and body wash. Great towels.
The washer and drier work very well and are pretty easy to figure out.
Excellent WiFi during the entire stay. The TV and cable were not easy to figure out however.
We had weekly housekeeping and Marina kept the place spotless.
This is our first time staying in San Miguel Chapultepec and it is a fantastic neighborhood. None of the hype of Roma or Polanco, but close to many things. Quiet, safe and friendly.
The apartment is a 5 minute walk to Metro Line 1, very close to the park, and easy to get Uber’s. There are a 1/2 dozen fantastic art galleries within walking distance. It’s convenient to local bakeries, 2 supermarkets, a local market, a butcher and a few good fonda’s serving very affordable lunches.
Highly recommended. As stated in the listing, you do have to climb roughly 2 sets of stairs, one being a spiral staircase and to access the 2nd and larger bedroom, you need to go outside. Neither an issue for us.
I highly recommend this apartment.
