I had a wonderful stay. The room is comfortable, and since it’s up on the roof you can get a nice breeze with the windows open. The only thing that was lacking was running water during some of my visit, and Isaac explained to me that while Mexico City does have a water shortage and restricts running water sometimes, this was exacerbated by the 7.0 earthquake that happened during my stay.
I understand that one of his other listings made a complaint about it, but my feeling is this: I want a local experience when I book rooms like this. This means that when a major natural disaster happens (this time in which there were fatalities within the city), I have decided to go through whatever tribulations the locals are going through. My having to shower with bottled water for a couple days is nothing compared to what others were going through - not to mention the permanent fear that these experiences ingrain in the people of Mexico City. I could always go book some fancy hotel in Condesa, but I’d rather keep having real experiences like this one.
Isaac was very kind and always quick to respond to my texts, and I wouldn’t hesitate to book again. Plus, the best ice cream in the city is just a block north of the place!
