A lovely, well organized and designed apartment in a great part of the city! My sisters and I stayed over Day of the Dead period on first trip to Mexico City in years, and what a lovely change. Such a dynamic and interesting city!
The apartment itself is very nice, safe, and welcoming with layout and design touches you don't expect. We especially liked the living room and its peaceful little terrace looking out into the trees and street. Beds great, neighborhood wonderful for walking and general access (but you can't just stroll over to Chapultapec Park, despite what map suggests--the city ran a big highway down its side making pedestrian access difficult--as many cities did when cars were entirely king ). A few caveats however: kitchen is quite sparse, consistent hot water in front bathroom is a serious problem, and sound within the apartment travels with ease.
The main reason we've given this apartment a lower rating is because of the extraordinary noise we endured from an open-air party staged next door on Friday night. It's true that the managers cannot control this (although it's also true that they didn't bother to respond when we asked about the racket the next day). Nonetheless we think it's important for others to know that this party space exists, and if it is active your sleep will be impossible until late. The space is directly across the bedrooms with nothing but a canopy over it to contain the pounding bass. This wasn't a one-shot event--you can easily see video monitors hanging from the ceiling and a big screen advertizing a vodka brand. Bouncers were outside checking IDs when we came home around 10 pm.
I feel bad for the apartment owners--I'm sure they didn't know about this when they created the units and we really appreciated the care they took to create a nice space. But I feel worse for renters and thus the low rating.
