The location and hosts for this apartment were incredible! We've traveled to CDMX multiple times and hands down, this location was unbeatable. There are cafes, bars, restaurants, convenience stores... anything you could need, just steps outside the door. The hosts were super responsive and very accommodating, and I would absolutely recommend renting from them. The apartment itself is very... vintage, definitely a little more dated than the photos let on. There are some very retro design elements, which are fun, but the space did feel a little tired. That said, the accommodations were perfect for what we needed - the beds were comfortable, the space was clean, great water pressure, fast internet, and the open living area and balcony overlooking the street was incredible. We spent two weeks here working remotely and it was a great arrangement. There is a 24/7 security guard downstairs and a small elevator in the building, which were also great amenities.
A few items to be aware of:
- The furnishings are a bit sparse, so while this was perfect for two people, it might feel a little crowded with more. It would have been nice to have a more seating on the patio, in the living area, and a desk (or 2).
- The oven does not work
- There is no HVAC (this is VERY common in CDMX), but there are fans and a small space heater if needed
- At least for us, the kitchen was absolutely empty - no condiments, extra towels, cleaning supplies, etc., (There is an OXXO across the street if you need to pick up some essentials)
- There is filtered water in the sink - I drank it the entire two weeks and felt fine!
All in all - despite a few minor inconveniences, this location cannot be beat. We'd come back just for that!
