Alex's rooftop loft was the perfect spot to spend my last 3 days in Mexico City. Perfectly located minutes from my favorite bakeries and coffee shops, I loved waking up each morning, walking to get my morning pastries and hanging out on the rooftop watching the sunrise. At night, the roof was the perfect spot to watch the sun set while sipping on Mescal before heading out to one of the area's trendy restaurants. The couch and bed were both super comfy, and if I weren't in Mexico City to explore I could have stayed in all day and be perfectly happy. As a single female traveller, I felt VERY VERY safe in the roma neighbourhood and in Alex's home.

The only (kinda) scary part of this stay was the windy stairs up to the loft - and it wasn't that bad once you got use to it - but the first time up with my suitcase I wondered how I was going to get all my stuff up there and then back down. It didn't end up being hard (I did it all on my own as I was travelling alone) but I would be lying if there weren't times when climbing up and down the stairs didn't scare me a little. Overall, the windy staircase was worth the stay at the loft, and I wouldn't let it stop me from booking Alex's loft again.

One last thing - the doors to the patio didn't completely close - the tops stayed open. I think this was something to do with airflow, but it was colder than expected in the evenings, and I had to sleep in my sweater two nights. Again, not something that would stop me from booking Alex's loft again, but something I wish I had known so I could bring warmer pyjamas.
