One best things about the apartment is its unbeatable location: you can take a 30-min stroll through Paseo Reforma to get to the Zócalo, its is walking distance to nice neighborhoods like Roma and Condesa (Juárez, where it’s located, also has its charm), and also reasonably close to Polanco. Some of the most renowned restaurants in Mexico City are around a 15-20 walk away (like Contramar, Rosetta). Lots of cool cafés and shops in the area, and several convenience stores like Oxxo and 7 Eleven to buy basic groceries. I must also highlight the fantastic shower; excellent pressure and continuous supply of hot water (something not all that common in Mexico). There is a washer and dryer on site, which are available for use by guests; a plus for long trips! Monica and her co-hosts are very friendly and reply fast to messages. The guide to getting around the neighborhood and restaurant recommendations was highly appreciated!
Some areas for improvement to make it a 5-star stay: daily supply of water (seeing that tap water is undrinkable throughout Mexico), as opposed to a few small bottles provided at the beginning of the stay. On this point, we should note that when we requested more water, the hosts provided some the following morning, which was greatly appreciated. Another area for improvement is that, even though the apartment has a coffee maker, blender and plenty of cooking tools, it would be great if basic cooking items could be provided (coffee, tea, creamer). During our stay, we only found oil, salt and sugar.
