Pros:
1. Number 1 best thing about this listing is the host. He is passionate about his space, which makes sense as it’s lovely. Great spot, great design. Whenever I expressed a problem he addressed things immediately. Bought me a fan for my stay even!!
2. Location is great and apartment feels like a little hideaway, almost like a second home.
3. Cool at night even without air con
4. Safe building with friendly doorman
Cons:
1. Everything looks really clean, but when I spilled some water on the title floor and wiped it up, the napkin was dirty.
2. Being so close to things, this apartment is extremely quiet, but you WILL get some street noise which wasn’t a problem for me as it was rare and I brought a sound machine
3. Shower head wasn’t working right, like parts of it were clogged. I never mentioned it to the host, but after I left he messaged me, apologizing as there were built up mineral deposits that he showed photos that he fixed!
Bed was overly firm, but the members foam bed added on top made it quite comfortable for sleeping!! And I usually sleep on a feather bed!
Overall I loved this apartment, would stay again for sure! Know that if you do face any problem Jorge will be right there to fix it!! And he had plenty of recommendations for the neighborhood.
FYI- Jorge is very hands on, so if you are looking for an Airbnb that feels like a hotel and you have no contact with your host, this might not be the place for you. But if you want to feel like your buddy in Mexico City is giving you his place for a few days, expect the comfort and sense of connectivity that will come with that experience!!!
