For the most part we had a great month-long stay in this unit. Communication was great throughout, both with Christian and with his mother (who lives in the same building) who was a great source of information and assistance; any questions we had were answered very quickly. The apartment is relatively basic but it had everything we needed for our stay, and we especially appreciated the in-unit laundry. If you want to be in Condessa, this is a good location, as you’re close to 2 different metro lines, and about a 15min walk to a Metrobus line. Lots of restaurants nearby, but the street itself was very quiet and we felt very safe and secure. There was actually an earthquake during our stay, but this area of the city was virtually untouched (and we didn’t even lose power!), which was very reassuring.
We work online and the internet was reliable, although the signal was best in the bedroom and not so great elsewhere (the router is in another apartment).
Probably the biggest strike against this apartment is simply that it is a ground floor unit and faces out onto the street. This means that that it is darker than the pictures, since it doesn’t get much direct/natural light. We opened the windows as much as we could, but then privacy (and security) is an issue. There is also clearly a moisture/dampness issue that there are some measures in place for (e.g., desiccants in corners), but is still something to be aware of. During our final week, we noticed some mold developing in some parts of the apartment (living room and bedroom); for the first 3 weeks all was fine, and so this unit might be better suited to shorter stays (or if you are not visiting during the rainy season!).
