Myself and three other guests stayed in Cristian's flat for four nights, Friday through Monday. I had a wonderful experience and if I have the opportunity to stay in Mexico City again, I would be happy to stay at one of Cristian's properties.
THE SPACE
- Very clean and decorated nicely.
- There are two bedrooms with full sized beds as well as two full bathrooms. This was perfect for my group, which was comprised of two couples.
- There is a full-sized washer and dryer in one of the bathrooms. We purchased some laundry soap from the 7-11 across the street and did all of our laundry before we packed up to fly home. Returning with clean laundry is a godsend!
- There is a tv with cable and Netflix. We were out of the unit most of the day, but this would be great for kids!
- Full kitchen with utensils, plates, cups, etc. You will want to buy bottles or jugs of water from the 7-11 to store in the fridge.
THE LOCATION
- This is in a great location, very central and walking distance to the Zocalo, Garibaldi Plaza, etc. We frequently had Ubers pick us up in front of the flat with no problems.
- There are several cute restaurants/bars below the unit. This was nice during the day, we didn't have to travel far for breakfast, lunch or dinner.
- HOWEVER, if you stay here on the weekends, be aware that these bars play loud music until the early hours of the morning (1 or 2 am on Friday and Saturday night.) I wouldn't see this being a problem if you are young and you'll be out at night on the weekends anyways. However, if you have babies or young children, you will definitely want to be aware of the noise. On Friday night, there was a live band and they drummed away until 2 am.
THE HOST
- Cristian is a very kind and helpful host! He was super flexible with us about check out and check in times. He was even kind enough to give us a second set of keys to the flat so that each couple could come and go on their own without having to coordinate keys.
- Cristian communicated with me quickly over Airbnb messaging and always answered any questions I had.
I recommend this space if you're looking for a fantastic value in Mexico City!
