This place was an absolute joy to stay in and Andres is the rare host that makes Airbnb worth the extra hassle.
I never write reviews but felt I should for this one.
The apartment, the location everthing was superb, I’ll get to it. What really set this place apart was Andres & Andrea’s self-written “guide” to Roma Norte restaurants, bars and clubs. Clearly a foodie himself, he’s written detailed blurbs about good and worthwhile restaurants and spots within walking distance to his apartment. It’s all compiled in a 3-ring binder, includes everything from 5 star restaurants to food carts at the market to discussions on best late night drunk tacos in the area (omg you must go to taquería orinoco). This wasn’t even advertised on the listing but truly made our trip extra special, felt like we were locals, going to all the great neighborhood spots.
The apartment itself was gorgeous, spacious and extra safe. It’s 1.5 bathrooms, which is always nice, a large living room and comfy master bedroom with a large bed. The apartment building has high fences and a 24/7 security person at the entrance. You get every amenity you might need, there is even shower gel, so you can pack like you would for a hotel, except there is also a washer/dryer. The apartment has free parking if you rent a car (but don’t, uber is so cheap, always available and safe).
The location is of course incredible, I honestly wish I lived in Roma Norte and this apartment is at the center of it. It has things for everyone. There is so much to say about it but if you’re visiting CDMX you should absolutely stay in Roma Norte, no question about it.
Finally, Andres himself is extremely responsive. We got to his place at 1am due to delayed plane & delayed bags and he stayed up until we confirmed we were able to get in to the place. When I had an issue with the hot water (I forgot to turn it on duh) he was quick to respond & help.
Honestly just take the plunge and book this place! We had a fantastic experience and it’s absolutely worth it.
