I want to extend my thanks to Gonzalo for sharing his beautiful apartment with my wife and I for one month. On our latest trip we wanted to stay one month in Mexico City. Our priorities were to look for an apartment with strong wifi in a safe neighborhood, close to shops to pick up our daily necessities, walking distance to restaurants, and a short uber ride to nearby museums / parks. Gonzalo's apartment delivered on all of the above and more. You'll find a critical review for prospective guests with some feedback for our friend Gonzalo below:
1.) The apartment had 3 bedrooms + 2 bathrooms. We even had some family come stay with us for one of the weekends that we were there in Mexico City. HUGE PLUS: The extra bedrooms and bathrooms offered us lots of flexibility in terms of inviting family members to stay with us. The bed in the master bedroom was a Queen size bed and it was so comfortable!
2.) HUGE PLUS: The wifi was strong! Very strong. There were up to three of us (sometimes four of us) using the wifi at the same time. Over 100mbps which allowed us to take video calls with clients and send emails. If you are a digital nomad WFH then you will have no problems with this wifi.
3.) HUGE PLUS: The apartment building had a 24/7 door man and guard which made us feel incredibly safe. The other amenities in the building included an indoor swimming pool and a gym that aren't advertised in Gonzalo's listing. You can reserve the pool so that you have it all to yourself. It was a nice surprise! Don't forget to bring your swim suit.
4.) If you forgot to purchase your swimsuit, then don't worry! There is a shopping mall across the street called Parque Polanco. In the shopping mall you will find a walmart, bank, dry cleaner, multiple cafes, salon for hair and nails, a gym and and much much more.
5.) There is a woman whose name is Veronica who can clean the apartment during your stay as many times as you need for an additional cost. We had Veronica help clean our apartment once a week. She was amazing and just a fun person to speak to. I recommend having her come to clean the apartment during your stay. It just makes you feel better coming back to a clean space at the end of the day.
6.) The apartment did come with a parking space. We didn't use it but on a few occasions we had a massage therapist come over the apartment and they were able to use the parking space available to us as guests of Gonzalo's apartment. Good benefit!
7.) Gonzalo is very communicative and is an active problem solver. To be very honest with you we had some issues with the water boilers and washing machine early during our stay. However, in writing this host review for you I almost forgot that we even had those issues because Gonzalo had his service technician come over the apartment so fast to resolve our issues for us. If you have an issue, whatever it is, communicate it with Gonzalo and that issue will disappear so fast. He is really the best host and regularly checked in with us to see if there was anything that he could do to make our stay even better.
8.) If you are not sure where to stay in Mexico City, then your airbnb apartment search should end right here. He is the host that you want. This is the apartment that you want. It is very easy to WFH here. No issues.
THANK YOU SO MUCH GONZALO!
