It's hard to find all of the ways to describe just how great this apartment is - but I will try. I've traveled extensively to Mexico City over the last few years, and this apartment has to be one of the nicest - most comfortable - and wonderful urban spaces in which I have ever stayed - and not just in Mexico City, but in any large modern metropolis, ever. The space is simple, comfortable and truly lovely. The design - with walls of windows which both let in amazing light and provide remarkable views of the city - is both elegant and breathtaking. The amenities - a small but functional and enjoyable kitchen space - a clean and thoughtfully designed bathroom - are very cool. The bedroom is truly comfortable - and its wall of curtains can be closed when one needs to 'sleep in', but opened to provide wonderful morning views of the city.
Best of all is the outside patio - or terrace - or garden. A large table and chairs allow wonderful open air breakfasts, and the partially covered overhead roof, made of clear plexiglass paneling, allows a full view of the skies overhead, but also provides shelter in Mexico City's occasional periods of rain or thunderstorms. The open air portion of the balcony-terrace may be my favorite part of this apartment - standing there, you feel, literally, like you are surveying an amazing urban landscape, and on top of the world.
A few other quick points. The 24/7 presence of one or more doormen makes the building in which this apartment is located a truly safe and secure location. The local neighborhood, or 'Colonia' (Colonia Cuauhtémoc) isn't quite as widely known as certain other of Mexico City's 'colonias' (like Roma or Condesa) but it rivals them in terms of charm, atmosphere, and a surprising amount of both delicious, small Café's, bakeries, and breakfast spots - and an even wider array of wonderful lunch and dinner spots, all literally within easy walking distance of this AirBnb. To my surprise and delight, I discovered the surrounding neighborhood possesses some of the best Japanese and ramen restaurants in all of Mexico City - a brilliant and delicious pizzeria - a number of superb Argentine restaurants, some mouthwatering Taquerias, and - the list goes on and on and on.
Bottom line: this is a wonderful AirBnB apartment for both tourists and those on business trips - and it ranks near the top of the nicest places I have ever stayed in. Francisco, who is both the architect/designer and the host, is thoughtful, accommodating and helpful. It's hard to believe a place can be this pleasant, this cool, and this enjoyable but... it truly is. I hope to return here on future Mexico City trips.
