This is a beautiful apartment with an absolutely beautiful view of the Alameda (Mexico City’s oldest park), the Historic Center, and Mexico City. The hosts responded quickly to messages. I really appreciated that.
The apartment is in a great location with different parts of Mexico City accessible via walking or Uber/taxi.
Here’s what would make this beautiful apartment even better:
- The sinks and showers have significantly weak pressure and hot water. The apartment is cold (more on that in a bit), so a nice hot shower was not possible.
- The apartment is cold. There is no heater. The beautiful floor to ceiling windows also mean no insulation which means that when it’s cold the apartment is very cold and when it’s hot it must get really hot in the apartment. There was a fan, but a few space heaters would help.
- Terrace door: It needs a lock. I was told no one has access to the balcony, but there is another penthouse that shares the terrace. It didn’t feel good sleeping with my wife in a bedroom where the terrace door does not have a lock.
- More towels please. There were only two towels available.
