Thank you Nadezda for being the most fabulous and attentive host I have ever met after 7.5 years of using Air BnB!!! Our stay was enhanced because of your amazing hospitality and attention to our comfort and happiness!
Review of the place:
We had a wonderful stay and loved the space! The pics are quite accurate overall. The upstairs terrace/rooftop space and open air living area is better in person than the pictures would lead you to believe. The kitchen and downstairs bathroom are a bit smaller than the pictures may infer...though my friend and I did not mind. It should be understood that the space does get open air from the rooftop and as such insects and mosquitos are a part of the dwelling. We wore repellant and were fine and slept under a mosquito net. Just a word on that so those wanting to stay here are fully aware. This is of course typical for Mexico City to have a bunch of bugs everywhere...something to be expected.
The location is perfect! We would walk along Avenida Amsterdam to cafes, bakeries, coffee houses, and of course the parks! Everyone in the neighborhood is very friendly, so many dogs to pet, terrific restaurants and bars and hang out spots. We would have been happy staying in the neighborhod all week.
We felt extremely SAFE in the unit and in the neighborhood. We would walk home ffrom the bars at n ight and were quite comfortable. Ubver is convenient as well.
On Friday and Saturday nights there's some distant bass noise from a club over a block away...but it didn't bother us. Bring earplugs if you're sensitve to some faint outside noise or a very light light sleeper.
Nadezda gave us a beach cruiser bicycle and we certainly made good use of it! She was there to greet us at 7am upon checking in early. Super smooth and easy. Communication with Nadezda is very simple via the Air BnB app as well as WhatsApp. She's extremely responsive and was available to answer all questions and give great recommendations on things to see and do in the neighborhood and throughout all of CDMX. We didn't have enough time to go to all the fantastic places she suggested.
Value was great and the place was very clean when we arrived.
Consensus:
I recommend staying here if you enjoy a hip, funky, well-designed space with a laid-back and relaxed vibe and ambiance. If you're looking for luxury and super modern - this may not be your place.
If you're looking for an amazing neighborhood, great value in accommodations, having coffee in the morning in a bright, airy and open space, or winding down with mezcal and wine at night on a rooftop, and if you want to interact with an amazing and beautiful human being who's the host, then I highly recommend staying here at Nadezda's wonderful and lovely place!
Muchas Gracias Nadezda! Muah!
