We really enjoyed Mauricio’s place, but there were a few issues. It’s located in an amazing area of Condesa, close to restaurants, attractions, metro stations, and groceries. The building and the apartment are also very secure, and overall the area is very walkable and safe.
The apartment is quite large, with a generous living/dining area, a full kitchen, two bedrooms, and two full bathrooms. There is also a huge amount of storage space. Lots of windows mean plenty of light, and there’s a small balcony overlooking the street below. It’s on the second floor, so just a few stairs to go up and down. A security guard is present daily between 8am and 8pm.
We enjoyed the amenities, which include a clothes washer, iron and ironing board, dishwasher, gas oven and stove, and electric fans. We also appreciated that the apartment was so clean and well kept.
We did have a few concerns: no air conditioning (present but not functional), very slow WiFi, no dryer, and unreliable hot water in one of the bathrooms. Although we slept well at night due to Mexico City’s mild evening temperatures, I booked this Airbnb with the expectation that it would have air conditioning. The daytime temperatures can get high, so a/c would have been nice. Also, while there is a washer, there is no dryer - not a big deal but again we were expecting one. WiFi was relatable, but not very fast, especially if we weren’t in the same room as the router. One of the two showers produced hot water intermittently, and it took a long time to warm up. I hope that our host will look into these items soon.
Overall, we enjoyed Mauricio’s place - the location, the size, and the comfort level were all great.
