The. Best. This apartment was truly a gem. I guess there used to be an issue with hot water. The host explained that they recently updated the water heater. I took 30 minute showers and the hot water kept on flowing.
Location: right in Roma norte with an Arab restaurant across the street and a park down the block. Walking around cool DF was easy from here.
Apartment: This place has really cool decoration. Its all custom made and modern mexican style. Apparently the host, Tiane, designed the interior herself, and it shows. There is cool art and little toucges throughout. The beds are super comfy. The building is modern. Best of all: the private roof garden with views for days! I kind of wanted to stay here forever.
Host: Tiane was a charming, bilingual host for us. My girlfriend got food poisoning and we asked Tiane to help us. Within 15 minutes she was at the apartment and she took us to the pharmacy. She translated for us and helped us buy some stomach medicine. She really made our trip better.
The City: I was pleasantly surprised by Mexico City. The people were warm and welcoming even though we don't speak spanish. The food was delicious and quite different from Mexican food in the US. And the nightlife was off-the-chain, with everything from local mezcaleras to fancy cocktail bars to live music hang out joints.
Overall: This apartment in a large US city would go for $400 per night. Its a steal in Mexico. The location, amenities, and the good vibes make this place a home away from home.
