Fernando’s apartment was fantastic. I stayed there for a week in December 2019. It was sparkling clean, most appliances where brand new, and there were all of the appliances one could possibly need. There was even a dishwasher! There’s an Alexa-loudspeaker in every room if you care for music or some entertainment. ------------------------
The location is great, right between Roma Norte and the business district around the Avenida Paseo de la Reforma - it is perfect if you are traveling for business but want to avoid the hotel hassle and appreciate a full kitchen and great living and dining space. -----------------It’s a stone's throw from the Fuente de Cibeles: a very lively area with many bars and restaurants. On the weekend, some of the liveliness carried into the apartment. There were ear plugs. But there’s also the second bedroom on the back side that is as quiet as can be in a big city. --------------------
The shower is the best shower I’ve ever experienced. I liked all the little touches that Fernando provided, and that he thought of all one needs to make for a pleasant stay. ----------------------
On an earlier trip, I stayed at a suite at the nearby Sheraton that was much less equipped and homey and spacious and way more expensive than Fernando’s place. -------------------------
And, also in contrast to the Sheraton, Fernando’s place had awesome internet. I could stream music and still have a What’sApp video call. I couldn’t even have a decent What’sapp phone call at the Sheraton. Also, the coffee maker made great coffee, and I turned it into lattes with the microwave and all the milk that Fernando provided. There was also beer and coke for sale in the giant fridge at a very decent price and it was convenient on nights that I didn’t want to go out. --------------
Oh, one last thing. Fernando lives next door. Which is great, he was available whenever I had a question or needed help, be it about the apartment or Mexico. I recommend his place and plan to stay there again if I come back to CDMX.
