Everything stated as in the description, clean appartment and sufficient kitchen equipment for cooking. The location is very central and you can walk to the historic center, there is also a Chedraui Supermarket close by and a Oxxo.

After doing my reservation, the host sent me a message that I have to do a bank transfer of 50USD to a Mexican bank account within 5 days or otherwise the reservation will be canceled. That was weird, as the booking policy for the apartment stated free cancellation for the first 10 days. I wrote the owner that I am in a foreign country and cannot make a bank transfer that easy. As far as I know it is impossible to cancel the booking for the owner, and it also sounded suspicious to pay to some strangers bank account money. Booking.com had my credit card data which can be charged anyway if I don't show up. A few days before the actual reserved nights I got another message from the owner, that I have to pay 1494 MXN in total, allthough the agreed price in booking.com was 1285 MXN !!! I send the owner a screenshot of my booking confirmation and tried to correct him, but he suddenly got angry and told me, that I should cancel the reservation if I do not pay what he demands and he don't want to discuss with me. I contacted the booking.com support and they also verified, that the correct price was 1285 MXN. I was scared to stand in Mexico City at night with my kid without apartment, so I stopped arguing. Canceling the apartment was no option, as all apartments in this price range where already booked at that time. I was glad that we were allowed to enter finally, but this experience was really horrible, staying in the place after this slightly aggressive conversation trying to push me to pay more money. We agreed that I let the money in the room when I leave, so in the end I just left the 1285 MXN, but the uncertainty if we have a place to stay and the harsh attitude of the owner made the experience really negative. Apart from this experience, the apartment was also on a very loud street, I think with 4 rows and lots of cars. On the photos, the apartment looks bigger.

Jose is a really nice host, you can contact him and he will reply quickly. He was there on my arrival. He also provided huge bottle of water. Very close to two supermarkets, nice view on the city, big balcony, TV in bedroom and living room, comfortable bed, 24h security at the door + multiples badges, not far from centro, internet is stable (>50mbps).

There is a big avenue passing by so it's very noisy. Smelled cleaning products in toilets but Jose will fix it.

The apartment was in a good location with easy access to downtown. The apartment was very nice with a great balconey with a spectacular view of the city. Our host was easy to contact and was very helpful.We really enjoyed our stay here.
