Cristy’s apartment is perfectly located in the heart of Condesa, a beautiful, safe tree-longed neighborhood which has become super popular for tourists.
The apartment in located on the second floor of a home which has been converted in to a mini- hotel of sorts. There’s about 5 apartments total I believe.
Cristy was outstanding with communication before and after.
A couple of things that were not ideal and to note:
The apartment gets very, very warm. Cristy has fans in the apartment which help but it’s located in a spot inside the house itself that retains heat.
Upon my arrival (in the evening when it was dark), the bedroom light didn’t work. I had to jet off to work a dinner so this wasn’t ideal as I had to unpack clothing and get ready in the living room. By the time I had gotten back, Cristy had brought by two lamps while I was at my work dinner which was helpful, but it would have been nice to know that things like the lights were checked before my arrival as I don’t really love the idea of people entering my room once I have already checked in.
The apartment in an old, traditional house. It’s gorgeous and gives you a beautiful visual of what this colonies were like back in the day- think “Roma” on Netflix.
With that being said, the piping appears to be the same. The shower water wouldn’t drain which was pretty gross when you want to leave the house clean or after trying to rinse off at the end of the day after walking around the city. Again, the shower water draining is something I would hope to have checked before my arrival. Cristy offered to come and put some draino to see if that would help, but I really didn’t want anyone entering the place while I was gone again.
Lastly, while this house is gorgeous, beware that it takes locking and unlocking of three different keys everything you come in or out of the house. The front main door from the street, the main house door, and the apartment door. Leave an extra 5 min just do the locks if you are in a hurry.
Overall, my stay was nice, but there are many places I have stayed in CDMX for a better price that were a bit more comfortable and cleaner.
If you do stay at Cristy’s location, she is a delightful host and the apartment is in an absolutely perfect location.
