🌟 Rodrigo’s place is a great choice for your stay in Mexico city — beautiful stylish flat, perfect for remote work, comfortable central location, safe neighborhood, and excellent host. Our one-week stay was super good and I'd be happy to share more tips with those who will rent next:
𝟭) 𝗚𝗿𝗲𝗮𝘁 𝗦𝗮𝗳𝗲𝘁𝘆 🙌
Before our first trip to Mexico, we heard many stories about Mexico. So we were concerned about safety in the city. In reality, Mexico City and especially the region where Rodrigo has a flat is super safe. We walked at night, took money from the bank and had a normal life like in any other city. The neighborhood is trendy and clean with many new buildings, many lights, and security in the building. The flat was located DOMMINIUM TOWER (Domain Tower) which has a centralized entrance with security, card access to the floors and cameras.
👌 Also, everyone in Mexico City is following anti-Covid rules with wearing masks and having antiseptic literally everywhere. So it's Covid-safe as well.
𝟮) 𝗩𝗲𝗿𝘆 𝗰𝗼𝗺𝗳𝗼𝗿𝘁𝗮𝗯𝗹𝗲 𝗹𝗼𝗰𝗮𝘁𝗶𝗼𝗻 🗺
Flat is located near the Insurgentes Sur station, which makes it easy to get to the city center and all trendy neighborhoods nearby (Roma, Coyoacan, Chapultepec Park, San Angel). So it's central but not in the super noisy central streets. I strongly NOT advise you to rent a flat in the "city center streets" or places like Roma because it's too crowded, too noisy and has a bad smell. Rodrigo’s place is definitely a winner in terms of the location — it's easy to get to the main attractions by public transport and by walking, it's quiet, clean and comfortable for living.
𝟯) 𝗜𝗻𝗳𝗿𝘂𝘀𝘁𝗿𝘂𝗰𝘁𝗶𝗼𝗻 𝗳𝗼𝗿 𝗹𝗶𝘃𝗶𝗻𝗴: food 🍍, restaurants, parks, free gym!!!
3.1) If you like me like cooking and walking, you will like Rodrigo’s place. You will find two suuuuper huge supermarkets nearby: La Corner and Walmart (5 min walking). There you can find very cheap fruits 🥭 🥑 and an enormous variety of different products. Just in the building, where you will live, you will have SevenEleven for buying things like water. And in 15 min walking you will have a shop with natural foods and sweets, called Estado Natural. The food supply is excellent. Also, the host can help you with ordering 🐟 fresh fish from a local supplier.
3.2) If you like 🥙 local food, nearby you'll find many restaurants and places where local is eating. Go check La Casa de Tono for Mexican cuisine. And if you want to work from a trendy coffee place, go check Starbucks in 2 min walking.
3.3) There are many parks 🌴 nearby and also a university campus with a green area, so you can enjoy running in the morning.
3.4) The Domain Tower where Rodrigo has a flat is a brand new luxury building that has a Rooftop garden and gym with a sauna, which you can use for free as much as you want. The gym is new and functional, I used it 3 times per week. For healthy lifestyle — that's your choice,
𝟰) 👩‍💻 𝗕𝗿𝗮𝗻𝗱 𝗻𝗲𝘄 𝗳𝗹𝗮𝘁 𝗳𝗼𝗿 𝗿𝗲𝗺𝗼𝘁𝗲 𝘄𝗼𝗿𝗸𝗶𝗻𝗴 𝘁𝗿𝗮𝘃𝗲𝗹𝗲𝗿𝘀 + 𝗙𝗔𝗦𝗧 𝗜𝗻𝘁𝗲𝗿𝗻𝗲𝘁
We came for remote working + we love healthy lifestyle and Rodrigo's flat met our expectations. It's big, around 65 sq meters, it has very high sealings and panoramic windows. The design is white-modern style with plants and cozy details. And it has a big table with nice chairs. Internet is great, an extra point goes for huge TV. All that makes it comfortable to work from home.
Rodrigo is a pilot and loves NY city, so you'll see many decorations with NY and plains, that give this flat a soul. So you are living in someone's place, not just one of the rented flats.
𝟱) 🌟 𝗙𝘂𝗻𝗰𝘁𝗶𝗼𝗻𝗮𝗹𝗶𝘁𝘆 + 𝗲𝘃𝗲𝗿𝘆𝘁𝗵𝗶𝗻𝗴 𝗶𝘀 𝗻𝗲𝘄
This flat is done from expensive materials and it's new. Everything is working and it looks exactly as in the pictures. That's very important if you value your comfort. When we were in other big cities, we often had problems that rented flats had cheap materials and small things got broken (especially if the flat was rented for 3+ years). Rodrigo's flat is super new and clean.
Flat is also functional. It has a separate sleeping room and big lounge + cooking area. The kitchen has things you need and you can always ask more from the cost.
Consider that some flats in Mexico City might have issues with hot water. This flat has it's own heating, so you have hot water all the time. Ans it has a big washing machine with a drying function.
𝟲) 💛 𝗛𝗼𝘀𝘁 𝗶𝘀 𝘀𝘂𝗽𝗲𝗿 𝗵𝗲𝗹𝗽𝗳𝘂𝗹
We chatted with Rodrigo all the time, asking for advice about food, places, renting a car, talking with locals. It was such a pleasure that I could ask someone local about things and it felt like a friendly conversation.
7) Things for you to consider:
this flat has a view of the tree and street nearby, exactly like in the Airbnb picture. So it's not a breathtaking view, just for you to know. Also, people in Mexico City and the Domain Tower don't speak English, just for you to know 🙂
