I’ll start by saying the location can’t be beaten. Everything you could ask for is literally within a 2min walk. Pharmacy, grocery store, taco place, seafood restaurant, Italian, steakhouse. All a block or two in any direction. 3 bedroom apartment with a very large dining/living room that never felt cramped for 5 adults. Polanco is a great place to stay and the apartment was a great base camp for all our excursions.
There were two things I didn’t expect that made this my best hosted ABNB experience ever. In town for a wedding and literally an hr before we had to leave my sons suit pants turned out to be to big. The housekeeper, Amelia, saw we were freakin out and went out and brought her sewing kit and adjusted the waist on his suit to a perfect fit in like 10min! What a life saver. Then, after the wedding my sister got very sick with some sort of food poising and we mentioned to Amelia we wouldn’t want her over for house cleaning that day. Within a 1/2hr I was contacted by the ABNB owner Bianca letting me know she was sending a doctor to the apartment to see my sister. Again, I never expected this but I was so appreciative when Dr. Orozco showed up later that day. What we though was food poisoning turned out to be a kidney infection and she got us antibiotics immediately and provided great care.
What could have been a horrible week was saved by a great host. Thanks Bianca and Amelia!
