My family stayed at Cristina & Berny’s apartment for our month-long visit to Mexico City. The apartment itself was so lovely. As mentioned before by previous reviewers, the private rooftop patio is amazing. You can comfortably spend most of the morning up there. The dining room table has a very sturdy stone top and those iconic/comfortable Saarinen tulip chairs. We found the dining room setup worked great for doing a few hours of daily homeschool, as well as chopping veggies for meals. You will find the kitchen seriously over-stocked with plates and cookware. The Internet was fast enough for two simultaneous Zoom meetings. There was significant water pressure in the showers, as well as plenty of hot water.
The neighbors were friendly and quiet. Aside from the “tamales-Oaxacan-queso” bicycle, the evenings were without surprise sounds. This is a bit surprising considering how centrally located the apartment is in such a lively neighborhood. I doubt you will be able to find a better block in Condesa / Hipódromo. I already miss the pastries from Panadería Almuerzos. The neighborhood Mercado across the street was also a treat. The 7-minute walk to the large playground at Parque España was a daily ritual I now miss.
I should probably mention that the apartment is situated on the third (top) floor. There is also a spiral staircase to access the 2nd bedroom and rooftop patio. That may be a challenge for anyone with mobility issues.
We wouldn’t hesitate to book another stay at Cristina & Berny’s place. They made us feel right at home and Cristina texted us regularly to ensure we were doing okay. She also has an excellent housekeeper who can do a weekly cleaning for a very reasonable price. Thanks again for a truly memorable stay. :-)
