Sabrina and her partner, Louis, are very sweet and accommodating. I genuinely appreciate how effortless it was to communicate with them. Their responses are FAST. Both of them are always willing to help and go the extra mile (or kilometer because, you know, the metric system is used in Mexico).
The place itself is a gem. To begin, it’s sparkling clean and the furniture is pretty new. During our week-long stay, a very stylish and comfortable couch was delivered. The king-sized bed is a delight. Seriously, 10/10.
There’s a big room that is perfect for hanging garments, organizing stuff, etc. That’s a big bonus as most places, especially at this price point, do not offer that.
If you need a desk in order to work remotely, Sabrina and Louis got you covered. Oh, and the WiFi is both reliable and fast.
There is a cute kitchenette, perfect for whipping up a quick meal here and there. And just outside, there’s a patio with a table and a hammock. I miss that hammock so much!
And I know that if you are reading this you are probably asking, “yeah, but is it safe?” Escandon is a beautiful neighborhood. It’s like walking into Mexico City, circa 1960s. It’s very family-oriented (read: safe). There are lots and lots of family businesses, not to mention delicious street food. However, since the last time I was there a mere three years ago, Escandon has gotten considerably more gentrified. So if this place is available, snag it fast. The neighborhood is changing rapidly.
