Alejandro’s apartment is an incredible value! We’ve stayed at many airbnb places in Mexico City, both high end (and expensive) and (sadly) low end, and Alejandro’s apartment is, by far, the best VALUE we’ve experienced. He rents a number of single bedrooms, with a common lounge area and kitchen and bathrooms on the first floor, and then the single apartment on the second floor. The apartment consists of one large room with kitchen, dining, and (small) living area, and tons of storage space (which comes in hand if you’re staying long term.) There is also a sparkling new washing machine. (A washing machine in the lesser expensive apartments in Mexico City is extremely rare!) The space has lots of light, and the ceilings are high so it feels spacious. The kitchen is adequately equipped, with a large (standard American size—also rare!) refrigerator. The stove is just a two burner, but, hey, aren’t you going to go OUT to eat fabulous Mexican food? There is also a toaster oven. The apartment is located at the back of the building so you don’t hear much street traffic. Because the bedroom window was above the common lounge area, we were afraid it might be loud at night, but everyone was respectful and we never heard anyone after about 9:00 p.m. The apartment is on the top floor, adjacent to a huge roof top deck, available to everyone but seemingly only used by us. Alejandro could not have been nicer or more responsive to our questions, and got back to us immediately. The only down-side (if you can call it that) was the circular staircase going up to the second floor. It is quite narrow and could be a problem for large suitcases and older people. It wasn’t a problem for us, and Alejandro worked out a solution for helping us get our big bags down on our final departure. There are a number of locked doors you must go through (for the apartment) so lots of keys, but we didn’t mind, and it just insured our sense of safety. The apartment is located in Roma Norte, but is close to Colonia Juarez, both up and coming neighborhoods, with great restaurants and bars. Like New York City, the streets can look pretty gritty, with lots of graffiti, and a real mix of new upscale apartment buildings and cool bars and restaurants, next to dilapidated, run down buildings, but the neighborhood is very safe, both day and night, and typical of the up and coming neighborhoods in DF. I highly recommend Alejandro’s apartment, and if you want something less expensive, check into the rooms he rents. They look very nice, with a great communal kitchen and common area lounge.
