Lovely apartment. Exactly as the pictures. Very Clean. Very Comfortable for the 2 of us. Very safe. Fully equipped Kitchen,. Top of the line Washer and dryer were very convenient and are just a few steps away on the same floor of Luis' apartment- the penthouse.
Street is very quiet and surrounded by trees; you can hear the lovely birds singing in the morning. Conveniently downstairs is Cafe B - the best coffee!! Just a 7 min walk there is a supermarket convenient to get some treats, water, etc. Just a 1/2 a block away there is a gas station/convenience store.
Colonia Condesa is lovely. Walkable area, parks and doggie friendly. Take a stroll down Parque Mexico on the weekends for all sorts of street vendors. Colonia Condesa has sooo many hip and good restaurants. Amsterdam street is just around the corner and you will find multiple restaurants, coffee shops, bakeries, etc Also colonia Roma is just a few steps away which offers a similar ambiance.
Right across the street is La Bodega a classic Mexican restaurant w live music on the weekends and awesome performers (stand up comedy, poetry, etc during the week). We also recommend Azul (for lunch or dinner- best Mole you will ever have).
The location of Luis' apt is roughly about 15-20 min away (via Uber Xl or SUV) to center of city and other suburbs like Coyoacan (Frida's home and Market) and San Angel (Saturday Crafts Market & Diego Rivera's home). Uber will cost you about 6-9$ dollars one way. The Uber rides were very safe, will allow you to see different areas of the city as you ride and the best is that the uber drivers give the best suggestions on what to see and where to eat!! Luis' apt will allow you to be close enough to the city center for the main sites, but also enjoy the city as a local away from the hustle and bustle.
We fell in love w CDMX and when we return we'll surely want to stay at Luis'. Gracias Luis!
