I loved Richard's place! It was very central and close to the Cuauhtemoc subway station, making it easy to travel everywhere. It was also very affordable, and the terrace was perfect and super cute!
Richard is very communicative, and replies very promptly to any messages sent to him. Honestly, I've never had an airbnb host be so easy to keep in touch with for the duration of the trip! I really appreciated that!
A few notes to help future visitors out:
1. Make sure to remove the white cover to the drain in the shower, and also put some towels on the floor outside the bathroom when you shower - the floor will flood otherwise. It's not a huge deal though, things dry very quickly here! Just put the drain cover back after, because otherwise there'll be slight smells.
2. There's quite a few stories to climb up, just warning you all because I was super tired all the time haha.
3. There is an extra guest bathroom on the terrace! If you clogged your toilet (like I did, oops) look for a door on the terrace with keys already in the door. That's the guest toilet!
4. Under the sink is a sort of hidden cupboard. Open that and you'll find the extra towels and toilet paper.
5. This airbnb is next to one of the few routes in the city that allow for commercial trucks, so it can be a little loud. It posed no problem for me though!
6. Not related to the airbnb, but because the altitude is so high in Mexico, it's very easy to fee tired and out of breath in Mexico city. The sun also roasts your skin, so make sure to hydrate, rest, and wear sunscreen! Do not forget to wear a sunhat! (I didn't wear one thinking I'll be fine and got a tiny sunstroke, yikes!)
