We stayed for about a month and it was one of the most unique and stylish experiences. I’ll really miss that loft.
Ana and Gerry
- Were both very responsive, kind, and hospitable. The WiFi wasn’t working well at first, and within a few days had replaced the router and upgraded to a faster plan. Ana gave us recommendations and checked in with us throughout our stay, even when we got sick. She gave us a late check out and even offered us to stay a few more nights free since it wasn’t booked. She’s very considerate.
The loft
- the pictures capture the space really well. The place is spacious, filled with windows and gets lot of direct and indirect light. The bedroom gets lots of natural light from floor-to-ceiling windows. but they also let in a lot of the traffic noise too. The 3 bathrooms were really convenient. The balcony and the rooftop terrace were the best features. We were happy to water all the beautiful plants inside and outside. The kitchen has everything you need tucked away in little hidden cabinets and drawers. The Juicer was perfect for fresh juice and Palomas! We were able to cook a bit there, but ended up mostly ordering in and eating out.
This is an apartment owned by a man named Gustavo who likely lives there when it is not occupied. The space has soul, curated handmade art and design books. You can tell he put lots of thought and care in the decor and small touches. If you are the type of person who does not like clutter or stuffy homes then this might not be for you. We had enough space to do yoga and do light workouts. The in-unit washer was amazing for long stays and you could hang dry your clothes on another service balcony.
The location
- was really convenient, on the south edge of the condesa, in Hipódromo proper. very close to a 7-eleven, a health food shop, late night food stands, and a short walk from a Soriana. There is another park Morelos and a nearby farmers market. Perfect for morning walks. We stayed just as COVID restrictions were being lifted, so the cases were still quite high and many things were closed. You could hear ambulances very often. The location is near a busy intersection so you will hear trucks and sirens late into the night. I was able to run 0.8 miles to Parque España which wasn’t closed and had workout jungle gyms.
We would stay in Gustavo’s loft again. I’ll really miss everything about the apartment, especially Gerry and Ana!
