Rick seems like a nice guy, and I really hate to be so negative on a public review, but I do feel a duty to warn. The hot water wasn't working in the apt. No one told me I had to operate a boiler, nor gave directions on how to use it, and when I finally heard back from Rick and figured all this out, it turned out the boiler was broken and someone had to come to fix it. Even after that, I could not for the life of me figure out how to use it and could only take 2 showers in a 10 day period.
The place itself is not in the best shape, worn and in need of a thorough cleaning -- and there are many apartments at a similar price point which seem quite a lot nicer. It has going for it its proximity to Condesa (it is not where the airbnb marker says), and comfortable bed, but the space itself is awkwardly cut up with a fake wall and in part facing a central hole (seems a feature of the construction style of many CDMX buildings).
If the hot water had been working though it would have been an adequate place.
