There are many great things about this apartment, location being at the top of the list and the large, beautiful private rooftop being a close second. The security guards at the front of the building were always kind and the building itself felt safe and had elevators, which is great when traveling with a toddler. The water pressure was also great and we had zero issues with noise throughout our stay.
That being said, I don't think that the apartment is quite worth what we paid for it. It's one of those Airbnbs that feels as if no one has ever actually lived there, which means things that would provide comfort for a stay of more than 2-3 days (we stayed for 8 nights) have been overlooked:
-There is no central heating in the unit, which means in the cooler months the place is very chilly (it got down to 45 degrees F outside at night). There was only one space heater provided, which we opted to put in our toddler's room, which meant we pretty much froze most nights in the master bedroom or living room. To make the place comfortable would take at least three heaters, which may or may not even be feasible on the power grid.
-There are no towel racks or hooks in any of the bathrooms to place hand towels, and not really enough counter space on the sinks to leave one there either.
-I've stayed in rentals in CDMX several times, and at this price point I'd expect for a water filtration system of some kind to be provided for drinking water. This apartment had none.
-As far as I could tell there was no guest handbook provided for our stay, so I had to be in frequent conversation with Hector the first few things to ask simple questions that could've been answered in a quick guide, like where the space heater was located, where to put our trash, etc.
-Finally, it would benefit all guests if there was a handrail installed on the stairway leading up to the roof. What might have been an uneventful stumble down a few stairs had there been a rail turned into a pretty dramatic fall all the way down the stairs for me halfway through our trip. I came away in okay shape, but it could have been way worse had I been older or much younger.
