The positives:
Lovely place. Amazing location. We pretty much walked everywhere. Communication with Ilse was great. She is really fast and friendly. The apartment smelled so good when we arrived and the lady who helped us check in brought us beer! The two patios are so cute and perfect for hanging out and chatting. The neighbors are really cool people as well. There are so many good restaurants really close to it.
The negatives:
I don’t know if it’s intentional but there was a man screaming every day around 7am inside the building. The power outlets in one of the rooms don’t work at all. Also, I kept my luggage against the wall and I didn’t notice that the paint from the wall was chipping off so it stained my clothes and my luggage. Not the worst. It just leaves a chalk-y, dusty residue so I would avoid that. The front gate is really tricky to open and no one seemed to care about fixing it.

I think the place is really charming and I had a great time staying here. Out of 5, I would still give it a 4 even with all the inconveniences. I think the location/price is hard to beat and it has a very cozy atmosphere. I think with a bit of maintenance, it could be a 5/5, but I would love to stay here again if I came back to CDMX.
