Lovely and accurately presented ground floor apartment. After scouring reviews for this neighborhood of CDMX (a city I love and know) I chose this studio for three reasons: 1. Location; 2. Hot water and good water pressure; 3. Privacy
I’m glad I did.
Simon’s place is situated in a small, attractive (love the brick and gargoyles) “modern” walk up across a quiet street from Parque España. A wonderful roof top is available overlooking the park and the downstairs studio has a small enclosure with an available hammock. A 15 minute walk from Metro Chapultepec or Sevilla. 5 minutes from many great restaurants and cafes of Condesa. Green, dog-friendly and tranquil part of town.
I have stayed in enough places in Mexico to know that hot water and good water pressure are NOT the norm. Here it is! Once I realized the handles right from its left the hot water flowed!
One of the realties of Mexico is that many places have security guards. It’s part of the culture. While this might be comforting for some, I always find it uncomfortable. I deal with people every day all day and like to disconnect from interacting when “getting away “. I choose Airbnbs for that “home away from home” feeling. I don’t have a concierge at my home. I was grateful that I never saw anyone (except for a nice lady who cleans every other day or so) the entire time. The area is very safe and the property has plenty of cameras outside and in. Simon was available every time I texted him. Perfect security for my taste.
Perfect place for a confident solo traveler or an intimate couple.
