**This is a long review but I attempted to add all the things I look for when trying to find my next rental. I hope this helps.**
- First let me say Emma is an amazing host. There were a few things out of her control that happened while we were staying there but she handled every situation exceedingly well. The stove wasn’t working when we first arrived and not only did she have someone up to check on it the same day, but when she found out it would be a few days before we would get a replacements, she ordered a 14 in one air fryer oven and had it delivered to the apartment.
- For all of us digital nomads out there. This place is perfect for setting up and working long or short term. The apartment is very comfortable and airy with lots of light and great wifi. My husband and I both worked from out laptops for the 45 days we were there and had no issues.
- There is not a 7/11 in the building anymore. The closest place to buy groceries is Walmart across the street inside of Patio Santa Fe (large mall). You can get a $1 Uber ride or walk about 20 minutes up the hill to cross at the next intersection. Or, if you are brave enough to cross the 9 lane highway, there is a small hole in the fence that you can get through directly in front of the apartment. You can see people crossing periodically throughout the day but we opted to walk around most days. The weather was always beautiful so we enjoyed the longer walks.
- Along those lines; since you are staying directly in front of 9 lanes of traffic, there are some trucks you can hear even when all of the windows are closed. We found that when we sleep, if you turn on the fan that is provided that it mostly drowns out any traffic noise. We didn’t have any problems falling or staying asleep.
- Be aware that there is no one (that we found) in the building or around the apartment that speaks any English. My husband and I are learning Spanish now but are far from fluent. Everyone that we met was more than patient with us when we were using our translate app or trying to piece together sentences. On that note, I cant say enough good things about the staff at The Point. They are all extremely friendly and helpful and they keep this entire building spotless.
- The gym and pool area are very nice. It has everything you could need and we never had more than one or two people in there with us at a time.
- There are multiple services to get groceries, pharmacy items, and restaurant food delivered to your door. We used Rappi (much better than Uber) and we never had any issues. Someone at reception always brought everything up to us so it was always very secure.
- The building itself is very secure. You have to have a key fob to enter reception then another key fob to go above the 5th floor in the elevator. This apartment is on the 17th floor and has a beautiful view of the city and the mountains/volcano surrounding it.
- If you go or call down to the 5th floor, someone will bring water to your door. You do not have to worry about hauling it home with you from the store.
Overall, Emma’s place was very comfortable and I would 100% recommend it if you are planning a trip to Mexico City.
