What can you expect? Hmmm ...
It's very nice, very clean, very welcoming and well appointed. The master bedroom with en-suite and walk-in closet is fabulous. The location absolutely knocks it out of the park. My wife selected great places to go for most of our evenings, from restaurants to jazz clubs and live music venues, and I'd say 80-90% of them were within walking distance. It just doesn't get better than that! Roma Norte and Condesa are great neighbourhoods, and Ramiro's place is ideally located right between them. When we did have to take an Uber we rarely waited more than 2-3 minutes. Having the doorman there for check-in/out was really convenient, and they were very gracious about it throughout our coming & going, and when leaving our bags with them for a couple of hours on the last day (don't forget to tip!). The taco stands at the end of the block served yummy food, and the bar right across the street became "our" bar very quickly - great cocktails and really nice people serving. If you go there please say "Hello!" to Paulina from Rob, Jackie and Allison from Vancouver.
Before booking I read comments about noise, but it really wasn't a problem. The bar has a bit of noise coming from it, but Ramiro's place doesn't front on the street so that wasn't an issue. The building has dogs in it and one has separation anxiety during the day - that was a little tough just because we love dogs and this one dog was obviously heartbroken its people were missing. But that didn't cause any issues once they'd returned in the evening. To be honest, the only noise issue was in Ramiro's place itself as the fan in the stand-alone bathroom really does need repair. It sounds like an airplane ready to take off.
Two things would make this place 12 out of 10 (it's already 11 out of 10). One is an additional key. There was only 1 key provided, which made coordinating coming & going with our travelling companion a bit tricky. Written instructions for the safe would also be good - I closed it without setting a new code and couldn't re-open it. If I'd put my passport into it first I'd have been in a real panic.
But those are small thing, and I'd highly, highly recommend Ramiro's place. Everything else is great, and the location just takes it to another level. So happy we stayed there!
Thanks again for having us, Ramiro!
