This place is perfect for the traveler who wants to experience living in Mexico City for a spell, while enjoying some hotel-like comforts.
I stayed solo at John’s place for a full week & loved it! Very clean, easy check-in, pretty safe, great location, and good amenities. 👍🏾
The location + the building staff (especially the custodial team) made this an ideal space. The place was indeed steps from the MUNAL, and was an easy walk to so many attractions. There’s daily cleaning service (they even washed my dirty laundry on my last day in town) & a very attentive door staff which made it feel like a boutique hotel at times. There’s a PH floor with a rooftop terrace & small gym. Great place to drink your morning coffee & take in the sunrise.
Only digs:
-There’s no air, only fans; the two fans + the huge window work fine for cooling the place
-Mosquitos; the window doesn’t have a net so if you leave it open at night (and you will) mosquitos will certainly visit
-The city smell; it’s a bustling city with a smell — think NYC. I bought incense to cut it. Worked fine.
-WiFi didn’t work; I ended up using a neighbor’s WiFi while I was there
Tips:
-Theres an ice cream shop & small coffee house next door!
-Close to great shopping & restaurants (El Cardenal, Limosneros, Cafe Tacuba, Los Girasoles)
-Two of the best views of the city are two or three blocks away; Sears tower (across from Palacio de Bella Artes (grab coffee on the top floor), & the Torre Latino Americano (grab drinks on the top floor)
Overall, I would certainly recommend this place, and I’d book again.
