This was my second trip to Mexico City and I am very pleased with the reservation I made with AirBnB. The location is very central to many of the city's attractions. The transportation options are excellent and you are within walking distance to Roma, La Condesa, Polanco, Chapultapec Park, and many other locales. I live in San Francisco, so please consider the perspective but I think visitors from Europe, Asia, or most pre-WW2 American cities will appreciate the walkability of the location. You can find almost anything you might need within a few blocks.
I didn't realize that the apartment is on a street just behind Paseo de la Reforma and I arrived on the 31st of October, just after a parade was ending and some sort of motorcycle orgy was in full swing. I was thinking it would be really loud but it quieted down pretty early (11pm or so) and I didn't find the nights loud at all (again, I live in San Francisco's Mission District so my perspective may be distorted).
The apartment itself is cute. I thought the layout was great and I loved having the full-size kitchen. I really appreciated having the huge curtains to block out all of the light on the day that I didn't have to work and wanted to sleep in.
I do have two complaints. The first would be the comically small size of the bathroom sink. It struck me as such an odd design choice given the large size of the bathroom. This is merely aesthetic as it didn't affect my ability to brush my teeth or wash my face etc. My second would potentially be the consistency of the internet connection and speed. I use the word "potentially" because it very well could have been due to factors on my end. I would look more into it if I were considering a trip that will be a mix of business and pleasure.
Lastly, I would like to commend Francisco for his hospitality. He was very flexible and accomodating for both my arrival and departure. He offered excellent food recommendations and I was glad that I made it to a few of the places that he recommended. Above all else, he was very responsive. It had been a while since I used AirBnB and I am not the type of person that expects or desires concierge services but I did have the occasional question and he was very helpful. He even arranged for a trip back to the airport for me.
If you are considering this rental, do it!
Thank you Francisco!
