Alex’s place is a perfect example of why I love Airbnb. You get to stay in cool places in great neighborhoods that might not otherwise be served by hotels. The apartment is exactly as it appears in pictures. It’s a clever use of space and affordable materials with all the essentials covered, clean, comfortable bed, fast WiFi, good natural light and a good shower with plenty of hot water and the real standouts, the patio and location. The patio is really great at any time of day and is almost as big as the apartment. The location was a pleasant surprise. I was a little unsure of the location based on what I saw from Google street view but it was really nice and felt totally safe. After seeing a good bit of the city during my 10 day stay I wouldn’t choose anywhere else. With plenty of Uber Jump bikes around and a growing network of bike lanes it’s really easy to get around and see the city by bike. Tons of great food to be found but within a block of the apartment I really liked the hamburger stand Hamburguesas a la Parrilla and the torta stand on Durango and Frontera.
