Our stay in Manuel's apartment in the Escandon neighborhood was excellent. The pictures were all accurate and we got pretty much exactly what we thought we were getting. The apartment is on the third floor and has windows facing the street, which we enjoyed a lot. Manuel communicated with us promptly and our check-in experience was easy. Checking out was also very easy.
During our two week stay, we enjoyed watching Netflix on the projector in the living room. There was a water filter for drinking water, which we used quite often. We did use the kitchen, although space in the kitchen was a little small for two people, it did not inconvenience us at all. The fridge and kitchen appliances worked great. Manuel was very generous and provided us with a pantry for cooking.
The Escandon neighborhood location was convenient. We were close to the Patriotismo metro station, and a $3-5 Uber ride to most parts of Mexico City. Manuel left us with a metro card and plenty of brochures for museums in Mexico City. We loved the coffee shop around the block (El Illusionista) and the convenience stores nearby. We especially loved going down the block to La Michoacana to get ice cream and aguas frescas.
We would highly recommend Manuel's apartment to anyone looking for an authentic Mexico City experience!
