Usually I stay in hotels... afraid of Airbnb scamming; or misleading adds. This stay was my first Airbnb experience, and I have to say: Worth letting go of my fears! I was the second person to have stayed in this new listing. Luis' apartment was big enough to feel like home, and small enough to feel comfy. From the moment I opened the door I could take in the freshness, and can see and feel the dedication that Luis puts into hosting. It didn't feel like a place you just drop your bags, it felt like a place you wanted to spend time in, reflecting, after taking in the marvelous city of Mexico. Don't be fooled by the location the maps (G--gle, and this one offer), the apartment is walking distance from Parque Espana/Mexico and to many markets (Roma, Medellin) and surrounded by many convenience stores in merely walking distances.
You cannot ask more of a host like Luis. During an emergency (we experience the earthquake of this September) he acted very attentive.
I'm already planning on returning to the beautiful, enchanting city of Mexico... and this will definitely be my home again.
On amenities:
- wifi, great
- Luis leaves water, snacks, coffee, soaps, toothpaste, shampoo, and some other necesarry items
- Rooms: main room was big, comfy bed. I always have a hard time finding good pillows, even at home, so this was no difference to me in comfort. Sofa bed was comfortable too.
- Tv, had basic channels, but you can use your Netflix or Paramount tv apps.
- Bathroom was roomie, the shower floor is a bit inclined so careful not to slip.
- Bookcases full of books I was very tempted to buy from Luis!
- Cleaning products to disinfect
Neighborhood (Roma)
- Very centralized
- Quite neighborhood, and neighbors
- Enchanting, and safe. I never feared walking alone late at night.
- Great restaurants at walking distances: Expendio de Maiz, Tortas al Fuego, Maque, food stand in from of K (convenience store of the street) were delicious!
Word of advice: If you see this place available, BOOK IT!
