Hey All - Alex's place in Alcazar 20 is wonderful. It was a nice 1 bed apartment. It was brand new so very clean and maintained. Me and my partner stayed their for 14days partly holiday and partly working. CDMX is a city of parks and museums. Its a very vibrant and colorful city. So if you enjoy walking around, you will love the stay as there's lot to explore around this apartment. Here's short summary of experience -
Transport: Its right next to Plaza De Republica (tourist attraction). A metro station is about 7 mins walking and the bus stop is right outside the house. The city bus tour "Capital Bus" also has a pick up on Republica road. So great connection to public transport
Proximity to City Center/Historical areas - Its about 25 mins walk to Zocalo if you enjoy walking. Its a beautiful walk through center of Mexico across all major historical building and art museums. Zocalo is the historical center of CDMX. Also about 20 min walk to Reforma which is another shopping hip center, about 15 min ride to Mercado Roma (food joint).
Food/Restaurants: There are several amazing restaurants along Republica like Terraza Cha Cha, Senora Grill, some really hip pubs and road side stalls.
Overall Stay - Alex is very prompt with communication. He is very polite and humble. As we checked in, we realized the water heater wasn't working. Alex dropped by within 45 mins and changed the batteries and everything was fine.
The house: Beautiful open plan kitchen, with a big floor to ceiling windows in living. Great light. Kitchen is well stocked with coffee, tea, sugar, salt, pepper & oil. Everything you need to get started. Also has a nice coffee machine, which helped us since we both are coffee people and start our day with a good cup of coffee. It has sufficient utensils, pans and pots for cooking.
Bedroom is also sufficiently big with good storage. Alex had provided a fan as well as heater, which was awesome. The fan was very useful since the place was bit warm at night if you are used to low temperatures :). This was super good. The house has a standard washing machine and not a separate dryer, but the place has so much of sun that you won't realize the lack of dryer. You can just dry it in open.
Our specific flat had internet issues, but to no fault of Alex. He was continously following up with the company and apologized to us several times for the low speed. He also shared us the connection with another flat which had good internet speed up 45 Mbps :). It was the communication we highly appreciate from Alex. We would certainly come back to this apartment (if not this flat :D) Thank you Alex for everything you have done !!
