Sheila's place was exactly as pictured - modest, but with all the basic necessities. Most standout was that it was super clean and that's the number one thing I look for when booking Airbnbs. There was plenty of space in the apartment to unload luggage and spread out. The apartment felt secure as it had its own private entrance with security gate on the balcony. I would note that the apartment is four flights up and the balcony is narrow and high so I would be careful with small children. The only other noteworthy thing is that the bedroom window opens directly to the balcony which is exposed to the apartments directly across from you. So if waking up to natural sunlight and lying in bed or going to bed with the curtains open is a thing for you, take note. Other than that, the apartment served all our needs.
The apartment building itself is located directly across the street from the Metro on Insurgentes Sur which was extremely convenient being that is it a major artery of the city and can take you most places. The neighborhood, Colonia del Valle, is neatly situated in reasonable distance to all the places you might visit as a tourist - Centro, Polanco, Condesa, Roma, Coyoacan, and San Angel. Mexico City is huge but access to public transportation and plentiful Ubers near the apartment made it easy to get around. The neighborhood is part residential/part commercial and felt safe at all times, even when walking late at night. The neighbors, including the people that worked in the local business, were always welcoming and helpful. There were plenty of restaurants and shops and the WTC was in walking distance.
Sheila, the host, was kind and communicative. She met us upon arrival and even helped with our luggage. She assisted where we needed and was always available to answer questions. During the stay, she even left a gift for me and my companion which was extremely thoughtful. Overall, I would book again if staying in this neighborhood. Highly recommend!
