OMG where do I even start?! I was visiting Mexico City with my 6 girlfriends for my bachlorette and WOW what an AMAZING experience staying at this Airbnb in La Condesa. Some of the comments and reasons why our group loved this space are below:
APARTMENT
Overall: The apartment is absolutely stunning!! Super super clean and it has gorgeous natural lighting during the day. Perfect for photo ops. The floor to ceiling windows are a real treat and the kitchen also has a stunning view. The decor is really thoughtful and makes you feel like you are living in a model home. The apartment is super spacious and was the perfect size for our party of 7 ladies. The elevators open up directly into the apartment which was super cool and felt very safe. There is also a doorman in the building which helped us feel more secure and he was very friendly and helpful.
Bedrooms & Bathrooms: 3 bedrooms and 4 bathrooms make up this apartment and this was totally awesome for us. There are 2 main bedrooms in the apartment, each with their own bathrooms. The master bedroom has a HUGE king sized bed and the most GORGEOUS VIEW of the tree-lined streets of Condesa. I absolutely loved waking up every morning and soaking in the scenery. The second bedroom has 1 queen size bed and a pull out queen sized sofa (which was super comfy!) The third bedroom is located through a separate door in the kitchen. This bedroom has its own separate key, but is accessible through the main apartment. This third bedroom is a bit small, however, it does fit two (smaller) people comfortably. There is not a lot of room to put larger luggage in this third bedroom, however, since the rest of the Airbnb is MASSIVE this should be of no concern or problem at all. This third bedroom does also have its own private bathroom which is great. All of the beds in the space were comfy and we all slept very well each night.
Kitchen: The kitchen is fantastic and had all the amenities that we needed for the light cooking we did during our trip. It is stocked with basics and has plenty of plates, cutlery, and cookware.There is also a full washer/dryer in the kitchen area which was really nice for us and a plus.
Parking: Another plus was that during our stay we had rented a car and the building does have parking available for a car. I am not sure if parking is always available, however, parking was available during our stay and it would be worth asking the hosts about this should you choose to stay here. Quick note: If you are bringing a car, please be sure to provide the car keys to their doorman so that the doorman may move your car, if another resident is trying to access their vehicle.
NEIGHBORHOOD
The neighborhood that this apartment is located in is called La Condesa. Wonderful location, 5 stars. Walking distance to SO many cute coffee shops, bakeries, and restaurants. Seriously, our biggest regret was that we didn't have a couple more days just to walk around Condesa. This neighborhood felt very very safe and the 7 of us never felt uneasy during our stay. It was very close and conveniently located to many of the main attractions that we wanted to visit in Roma, Chapultepec Park, and Polanco. The Airbnb is also a 10 min drive to a more major grocery store called Soriana Híper Tacubaya. This was really convenient for us and made it easy for us to stock the kitchen. This is a lively neighborhood, so you should expect noise in the evenings. Additionally, there are a lot of businesses around the Airbnb so there is noise that starts during the earlier hours in the middle of the week. We personally felt that this was a charming part of both the neighborhood and overall experience, so this did not bother us at all! During our stay, there was some construction happening next door, however, again it is important to remember that this is a condo in the middle of the city and so some noise should be expected and accepted.
HOSTS
Anahi and Juan Carlos were both awesome to communicate with. Anahi, was our main point of contact and SHE TRULY is AMAZING. She was super communicative, kind, and helpful. Both Juan Carlos and Anahi had very reasonable (and fast!) response times and a question was never left unanswered. The level of service provided was above and beyond our expectations. As an example, Mexico City was having an earthquake drill during our stay and Anahi was kind enough to send me a message to notify our group so we would not be alarmed. Anahi, assisted us with restaurant reservations, questions about the neighborhood, and other questions for our stay. Both Juan Carlos and Anahi are very professional and courteous - 5 star hosts!!
OVERALL
We were absolutely FLOORED by how beautiful the space is in person - the pictures seriously do not do the Airbnb justice. I would 100% recommend this Airbnb to anyone who is visiting Mexico City, you will not be disappointed!!
