Erick is a responsive and helpful host and is willing to answer any questions you have. We had a wonderful stay during the last week in March (Sun-Thu). The city was beautiful and alive with Easter week & spring break tourists. The Cuauhtemoc neighborhood is very safe and a perfect home base for exploring the city and going on day trips. It is easy to walk around the neighborhood to shops and restaurants and it is also walkable to touristy areas or a quick uber or taxi ride.
The apartment is spacious and has an open layout so you don’t feel cramped. When you arrive, you can walk right to the door off the street and the apartment is easily accessible by stairs or elevator once inside. The doorman is very nice and helpful as well.
For the value we definitely recommend staying here and would stay here again. Staying at Erick’s airbnb gave us such a unique experience compared to staying at a hotel or luxury resort.
Overall it was a great place to stay. Considering a few details that some travelers will find important: We were not in the apartment much during the day because we were out exploring but in the evenings it can get a bit loud and it is bright so if you are a sensitive sleeper it might be difficult for you to sleep well. We also experienced the water heater issue that some others have commented about but Erick, the doorman, and the handyman all tried to help immediately so it’s not something that will ruin the trip completely. We found that we could get hot water for like 3-5 minutes and once the water ran cold we turned the shower off and turned it on again and hot water usually came back. Bringing your own toiletries and going shopping at the grocery will make you feel at home right away.
Thank you again Erick for hosting us!
