My first Airbnb. I was greeted by the nice owner when I arrived around 3 . She lives around the corner. This is an ideal location on a lovely square with a fountain.... a happening area with cool shops and treelined streets. Restaurants are everywhere including a decent one in the building on ground level. Several of the best restaurants in town are a 2 -10 minute walk away!!! Yup. Wow. The area borders Condessa, bit fancier area which is also cool, a bit more chic- in short you are right where you want to be - central but also residential , with all the conveniences, like Manhattan, at your doorstep. The apartment was Better and Bigger than I thought . About 1000 square feet. There was a heatwave so the windows were open. (NO AC, but it's not needed usually- but she's getting AC). There's some street noise but mostly quiet. No noise from neighbors at all. The building was better than I thought. I live in Manhattan in a full service luxury doorman pre war high rise. This is a modern high rise 15 story tower which looks like a hotel and stands alone so you can see it from a distance which is helpful . For Mex City it's pretty lux building though, but not glamorous in any way (as in no orchids in the lobby ha). The lobby is big, a bit tacky but not offensive. There's a full time very nice doorman who always opens the door. Only four apartments per floor with two elevators per floor. No waiting for elevator. The furnishings are simple bohemian with some modern touches and pretty tasteful, with lots of seating . Big TV's. Plants everywhere and good open kitchen and had sharp knives Flooded with light and superb views and sunsets! Can see the sky line and the mountains - impressive. Very good beds with quite decent new linens, but just one set for each bedroom , nice comforters also new. Pillows could use updating. Towels were excellent, though also no second sets.
The host is angel. She's cool and smart and interesting. And she's quick to return texts. Wow. I was super lucky with my first Airbnb! I'm kind of fancy, and new to Airbnb, so as back up had reserved at a room at the Four Seasons in case this was a no go ... no need- cancelled it! Surprise, this place was way better than fine. And the area is where you want to be. BRAVO, I will stay again, if and when I return, Much thanks.
