I had noticed this building on a previous trip. It it a wonderful example of Art Deco, but it was in such decayed condition that I was surprised by the listing of such a nice and well kept apartment. The apartment itself was very nicely done and comfortable, with more amenities that I usually find in CDMX (oven, six gas burners, washer/dryer) and many aspects functioned as expected. Unfortunately, the building infrastructure has not been modernized, and is at the mercy of Mexico City’s drought, so water was a major problem.
I was never able to take a shower, and at night, there was sometimes no tap water at all. I couldn’t even flush the toilet. They did provide plenty of drinking water, and offered me passes to a local gym to shower. Not exactly convenient. Also, after a day or so, there was no WiFi. They told me the internet provider said this was due to changes in their system. So, hopefully the problem is short lived. This was also the noisiest place I’ve stayed in the city.
