Coming to mexico city can be daunting. Trying to balance practicality and safety. However, Iñakis place is one of the best options on airbnb here. The apartment and style is amazing. It's minimalist but it has everything you need for long term stays. The shower is really comforting and there is always hot water. The kitchen has a washing machine, a stove, and a place to wash dishes easily. The upstairs (via a really cool spiral staircase) has an extremely comfy and clean bed. Next to that is a desk for working (great if you have a day job). This room also has two giant opaque windows to let tons of light while still being private.
The apartment is great, but the outside is just as good too. The apartment is located in a safe semi-open gated community. anyone can enter during the day but there is always guards and police around. I never felt uncomfortable. The neighborhood has several parks and places to exercise. if you are a fan of dogs, there are plenty here. Nearby outside the neighborhood there is in one direction a supermarket and costco. The other direction is a small downtown center. Both only 5 minutes walk, I never needed a car. I recommend the Balamté Chocolateria, Hibachi Sushi, and A Buena Hora Taquería. All run by nice and friendly people with excellent food. If you need convenience items, there is a 711 and Oxxo close by too.
Iñaki was a great host, always quick to respond and very thoughtful. If I had any problem he would work with me. Being that spanish is a second language to me, he was willing to communicate in excellent english during my entire stay of two months. The only problem I had during my stay worth noting is the dogs on the street can be very loud during the day, anybody that passes certain houses on the street the dogs won't stop barking. I recommend bringing noise canceling headphones if you work during the day. At night everything is peaceful and quiet. Be ready for the birds come early!
Overall this place was amazing to stay. I highly recommend it to anyone considering it. You won't be disappointed. 🙌🌟
