HOST:
Gerardo is an excellent host. Very communicative and quick to remedy any little things that need it. Very friendly, chill guy.
LOCATION:
The location is prime, right on the border of Juarez and Roma Norte. Walk north to Juarez, find many boutiques and restaurants. Same when walking south to Roma Norte.
CONDO / UNIT & BUILDING:
The place itself has everything needed for 1-2 people. Washer for clothes, blender for smoothies, fully-stocked with kitchen supplies to cook meals, clean bathroom (a little tight on space), dining room table with chairs, three-person couch, flatscreen TV. It's a bit dark during the day due to the horizontal bars that are fixed on the front of the building / outside each window, but it's not too bad. The building is located on a very busy street, so be ready for normal city sound levels, nothing a fan / ear plugs / sound machine can't solve.
SECURITY:
There's a guard on-staff at the front door 24/7. To enter the building, I simply rang a doorbell-type device that had a camera on it and was always promptly let in, no worries. In fact, I was never concerned for my safety in or around the building.
SUMMARY:
Gerardo's place is a good option for those looking to explore the neighborhoods I mentioned or Uber to the adjacent areas at low-cost. The value is good considering the place has everything needed for short-term stays of a few nights or a week. Can't beat the central location.
