Jorge was a great, responsive host. He does everything he can to make you more comfortable. When we arrived the apartment was freezing cold. He explained that there are no heaters in Mexico City but all 7 of us were so cold we had to go to bed to warm up. The next day, Jorge found a space heater and had it brought over. It helped for that space and we were very grateful but it is just a cold building in December.
You have to wear an ugly paper bracelet around your wrist for the entire stay which is quite uncomfortable. The pool and gym are by reservation only, 2 people at a time and you need a swimming cap and goggles so we couldn’t use it.
The main reason for my lower review, besides the cold, is the noise. It was so difficult to sleep between the rooftop night clubs blasting music, huge events at the Monumento de la Revolucion blaring trumpets, drums and loudspeakers until 1am every night and starting up again at 5-6am.
On Sundays, the main roads are closed for exercising but there was also a parade of some sort so we couldn’t get picked up by our airport taxi and had to walk with all our bags and 3 small kids trying to find another way.
Pros: It’s an upscale, modern building with a lot of security. The beds are very comfortable. Host is very quick to respond. The price was good for 7 people.
I don’t often have anything negative to say, but I wish I had known these things before booking. I would have reconsidered and will not stay again.
