We stayed a month in Paty's Condesa apartment. There are many great things to share about our experience there.
Communication: First, Paty is an amazing host. Her constant contact and immediate communication were impressive. We were there, unfortunately, for three earthquakes and Paty was instantaneously and constantly checking on our safety and spirits. She was an important anchor in a difficult time. Fortunately, her apartment building and the entire surrounding neighborhood were spared damaged. Her apartment was like a rock...safe and sturdy. we felt safe in the building during and after the quakes.
Location: Paty's apartment is on a beautiful tree lined boulevard with bikes to rent, dog walkers, runners and walkers...a grand spectacle to watch from the huge living room/dining room windows.. She is 1-4 blocks from 20 restaurants, 5 or so coffee shops, a supermarket and an organic market. She is two blocks from a cab sitio, a pharmacy, a famous ice cream shop and more. The location is the perfect place to access all parts of amazing Mexico City. Uber pulled up to the front door every time we called. It is only a 8-10 block walk to two of the most beautiful urban parks in Mexico City and a 6 block walk on Tuesdays to one of the most fantastic open markets in the city.
Apartment: The apartment is huge...two bedrooms, a meditation room, an outdoor garden area, a kitchen and a dining/living room area. The living area has a futon/couch which could be another bed. The kitchen is a bit smaller but has all of the necessary equipment needed for a vacation rental. The house is simply but comfortably furnished so you can easily make yourself at home. The apartment is a bit older an thus has a few "oddities" that most older places have but we worked through them...with Paty's help. The bedrooms were so peaceful at night...a perfect sleeping situation. Both had plenty of closet space to use.
Overall Experience: Paty would be the best Airbnb host we have met. Her apartment is in a safe, quiet, beautiful area of Mexico City. We already miss walking down one flight of a beautiful staircase to the street filled with a peaceful energy, beautiful architecture and lots of good things to eat. Thanks, Paty, for a memorable month in CDMX!
