Having stayed in several neighborhoods in CDMX over the years (Hippodromo, Roma, Condesa, Centro) I can honestly say, Chapultepec (San Miguel Chapultepec to be clear) is the one for us. It’s quiet at night, has enough cafes and galleries to stay interesting, is close to the metro and roads (good for Uber drivers to get to you and get around traffic), and walkable to both the park and neighborhoods you probably want to spend time in.
The apartment is precisely as shown. A fairly typical 50s-60s Mexico City 2 BR in a small elevator building. Nicely decorated and appointed. Only the bedrooms face out onto the street so the living room is a bit of a cave but that didn’t bother us. The BRs are both floor to ceiling windows — one with a small deck — and thanks to the neighborhood are very quiet for CDMX. The LR comes with a smart TV and a Bose music box so there are good options for entertainment. The internet is speedy and didn’t drop while we were there. There IS a lot of seating which makes the common areas seem a little cramped, but again, didn’t bother us since we didn’t spend much time in them compared with being out in the city or relaxing in the bedrooms.
We had an issue with the safe not working that the host was unable to resolve in the 5 days we were there. We didn’t care (the building is quite secure and we left our diamonds at home ;-) but they sent over a bottle of wine as an apology. Nice touch.
Bathrooms are great, plentiful hot water (not always the case in CDMX), and the place stayed cool on the hottest days thanks to both tree shading on the bedrooms and the common areas opening to lightwells. Overall highly recommended. And make sure to try Mari Gold down the block. It’s the casual cousin of Masala y Maiz (now in Juarez) and continues the Indian/Mexican fusion theme in an even more successful way (IMHO).
