Location: Mexico City is huge! Which means that there are many different and distinct areas and you need to chose your lodging carefully so that you are near where you want to be. Leonor’s apartment is perfectly positioned right across the street from the US embassy on La Reforma which puts it in a perfect location to reach the historic center to one direction and the anthropology museum the other direction and being right in the Zona Rosa. It worked perfectly for me because I used the ecobici rental bicycle system to get around for virtually free and there is a bike rack right in front of the building. So you can jump on a bike and shoot right down to the Zocolo faster than you can Uber or taxi. Or you can grab a Lime or Bird scooter and get around while having a lot of fun at the same time.
Safety: The building where the apartment is located is very very nice and has extremely high security. So if a safety and security is a concern, you could never find a better set up. The doormen/security guys are friendly and helpful too. If I were a women, I would love the feeling of security this place provides. ( a little too safe for my tastes though, not enough danger excitement for me.. haha)
Quality: It is a newer, modern building and apartment that feels like a luxury New York penthouse. It may have been the most comfortable bed I have ever been in and the pillow are the best I have ever had. I looked for a brand so that I could buy some for home but could not find a tag. I was there on a holiday and there was some street noise but I used the white noise machine and slept great.
Value: Oh boy... I feel like I should whisper this so that I don’t ruin it for others, but the price is way too low for what you get at this place. I feel like I should send her some more money so I don’t feel guilty ( I am not going to, but I thought about it). I shopped everything from $10 hostels to $300 Hilton’s. This place is a hidden gem of value!
Ps. I did not even make it down to check out the pool or gym.
