Our stay in Colonia Roma was wonderful! Beyond being in one of the best neighborhoods in CDMX, this apartment was incredibly comfortable. It was so spacious, beautifully decorated and the beds were so comfortable. This space would be perfect for a long-term stay.
Some areas that were previously mentioned and persist would be issues with wifi, hot water being spotty and street noise. The street noise is only an issue on the weekend, but unless you have a baby or a very light sleeper, just consider it a part of the ambiance of the city. Our particular unit was on the 1st floor (second floor if you’re from the US) and faced the street. Both bedrooms has massive windows and a balcony, which were incredibly beautiful but offer little in the way of privacy. Luckily, there is a very effective shade that easily rolls up and down. The downside is that you either have no natural light, or you are on display for the entire street. This wasn’t a big deal for us, but it’s important to know.
We felt very safe in the building and apartment. I’d highly recommend this if you’re not afraid of a little noise/lack of privacy, cold showers, and spotty wifi. It’s a beautiful, massive apartment that worked well for my family and I.
