We visited Mexico City in February with our little son who is almost 2y/o.
The apartment is nice, in a new building, with new amenities, tastefully decorated and in a great location. The elevator is super tiny though. Has just enough space to fit our Yo-Yo stroller, nothing bigger than that.
Few things that we didn’t expect and were a bit disappointing:
- Unfortunately, the apartment faces a very busy 5-lane road that is terribly busy and loud 24hrs. You can’t enjoy the spacious living room because of the constant loud traffic sound, even with closed windows. At night, add the loud restaurants just under the windows to the sound of traffic. The earplugs, that were kindly provided by the hosts, didn’t help much.
- there was an infestation of ants in both bathrooms
- there is no AC (central or window) in the apartment. We stayed there in February, which I believe is not the hottest month in Mexico City. We used the air fans, that made the temperature just tolerable through the night. We couldn’t keep the windows open because of the street noise plus Mexico City has a lot of dust. If you keep the windows open, the floor and furniture get covered by a layer of dust pretty quickly.
The great thing about the place is that the hosts are very responsive and ready to help. They kindly sent a cleaning lady on our second day to take care of the ants and clean the apartment again. And overall, we felt taken care of. We are very thankful for that.
