Marivi and Roberto's apartment was the perfect stay for us in Mexico city! My friend and I have been working remotely and decided to change up the scenery and after our three week visit this apartment and this city felt like home!
From the rooftop terrace there is a beautiful view of the city. We enjoyed many breakfasts and glasses of wine here. There was also an outlet on the terrace so we could bring out our laptops and take zoom meetings or do work in the beautiful weather!
One bedroom is upstairs and one bedroom downstairs. The upstairs bedroom is more open to the rest of the floor - there isn't a door to the room but an opening, this didn't bother us but felt it was worth noting.
We were here in the fall (October) so the weather was mostly warm during the day and cool at night - be aware there isn't any central AC in the apartment and that the upstairs - which is predominantly floor to ceiling windows- can get very hot during the day. There is a working fan upstairs that is powerful and helpful but sometimes didn't quite relieve the heat. I would say this is only a concern to those who plan to spend the days in the apartment like we did while working during the week.
It's stated in the description that the elevator only goes to the 6th floor and you have to take the stairs the next two floors to the apartment. There is also a grated walkway to get to the apartment. This felt dangerous at first but we did get used to it. Those with a fear of heights may have some trouble on this walk way.
for those who are working or are dependent on a wifi connection - this one worked very well! we never had any connectivity issues.
I wouldn't recommend staying here with children, there are two glass tables, the spaces are slightly smaller than they look in photos and the stairs could be a concern. They feel steep, have no railing and are up against a large window. I felt a little unsteady on those stairs a couple times myself and could very easily see it being dangerous for kids.
Lastly, Marivi and Roberto were WONDERFUL hosts! If ever we had a question or concern they were very prompt in responding and finding a solution. At one point Marivi dropped off extra towels for us in the apartment and left us a Pan De Muertos, the traditional bread/cake of Dia de Muertos. Which was not only thoughtful but delicious!!
I would certainly stay here agian!
