We stayed 9 nights at Miguel's condo in March 2018.
This is a very nice sized, high quality condo, with a pleasant home theatre in the living room, 2 bathrooms with nice showers. The Wi-Fi works well in all the rooms. Balcony gets the afternoon sun, and is not shared with neighbours, which is also pleasant. There is no air conditioning, but even though outside days are hot and nights are fresh, the condo always stayed comfortable. It was always good to be back at the condo after a long day exploring this great city.
Location - Excellent!
- OXXO convenience store right across the street.
- Shopping Centre, Superama (groceries) & Walmart at 5-7 minute walk.
- Zapata metro station at 10-12 minute walk.
- Frida Kahlo's House & Coyoacán at 15-20 minute walk.
- Safe streets to walk on, no issues in the neighbourhood.
Amenities - Very good!
- Both indoor and outdoor pools were heated to a comfortable temperature.
- Jacuzzi was empty the whole stay, and thus unusable.
- Sauna has to be called 30 minutes in advance to be turned on by the condo staff, so we didn't use it.
- Games room (ping-pong, air hockey and mini-football) is a blast and the view from that room is just incredible.
- Great gym.
We would definitely recommend this condo if you want to visit México City.
However there were some issues that need to be noted:
- Elevators and amenities are secured with fingerprint readers. We reserved the condo for 4 people, but we were only allowed to register 2 persons' fingerprints. One of the 2 registered persons had to go downstairs to get the 2 others as they arrive or if they wanted to go to the gym; they couldn't be independent and even had to register daily as "day guests" if security requested it. It definitely made 2 out of 4 guests felt like second-class guests.
- Soundproofing. While the floor of the condo is made of concrete, somehow the ceiling is not, and we could hear noise from the unit above, dog nails clicking on the floor, the owner playing ball fetch with their dog at 22:00, etc. This could be an issue for light sleepers.
- No window blinds in bedrooms (only solar shades). Again, this could be an issue for light sleepers as the bedrooms are quite bright.
