We really enjoyed our stay here! The caretaker, Toño, was very friendly and helpful, met us when we were checking in and out, and made himself available in case we had any questions or issues during our stay.
The apartment is located in Condesa, a very nice, relatively quiet, tree-lined neighborhood, and served as the ideal base for exploring the city. While we took Ubers at night, we walked everywhere during the day and always felt safe. There’s a great cafe a few minutes’ walk away, lots of restaurants and bars, grocery stores, and whatever else you may want. The place also felt very secure, since you need a key to get into the lobby, another to get the elevator to go up to the 7th floor (your only lets you go to your floor), another to open a gate between the elevator and the apartment, and two more for the door itself.
The apartment itself is large and spacious, very grandly decorated (as you can see in the pictures — it really does look like that!), and has an amazing view of the city. Most rooms have huge windows, and get a lot of natural light. There are two bedrooms, one with a king bed and an attached full bathroom, and one with a queen. There’s a second bathroom between the bedrooms. There are a couple of couches, a few cushioned chairs, a dining table with chairs, and a kitchen area with another little dining area, a fridge, and a nespresso machine (which we didn’t end up using). We primarily used the king bedroom and both bathrooms, and aside from a bit of normal wear and tear as you’d expect from any apartment, everything was clean and tidy. The shower (we only used the one in the master bathroom) was also pretty good, if a bit low pressure, and if anything got a bit too hot. Since most apartments in Mexico City don’t have heating, and it was chilly at night when we visited, we were shown a couple of space heaters which worked very well and even had a remote.
The only things we wish were a little different were that the beds were a bit too hard for our taste (but this is of course personal), that the window blinds let in a lot of light even when fully closed (so the rooms are quite bright in the morning — this is slightly better in the bedroom with the queen bed), and that the hosts would have provided us with some filtered water to start with (since the tap water is not drinkable in Mexico City, and can’t even be used for brushing your teeth). It can also get a bit noisy in the morning (due to facing a street and the aforementioned large windows), but that’s just the cost of being in a big city, and nothing earplugs can’t fix. These were all minor issues, and did not have a negative impact on our stay.
Overall, we really enjoyed Mexico City and this apartment served as a great base from which to explore it. It was beautiful, quiet, secure, and comfortable, and we’d recommend it!
