APARTAMENTOS BOUTIQUE LA CONDESA, Mexico City

The apartments sit on Avenida Baja California, a main road with heavy traffic. The location is ideal for those wanting to explore the city on foot or by metro (station nearby). EcoBici stations are just around the corner for bike rentals. The area is safe, with 24-hour security, and is packed with cafés, restaurants, and shops within a 3-minute walk. Benito Juarez International Airport is 14 km away, easily reached by Uber or the paid airport shuttle. Free private parking is available on site, but street parking is not recommended. The building's position on a major avenue means traffic noise can be intrusive, especially in lower-floor apartments.

Each apartment is approximately 2 bedrooms and 2 bathrooms with a walk-in shower. Bed configurations vary but generally offer 3 or 4 beds (e.g., 1 double and 2 singles plus a sofa bed). Kitchens are fully equipped with a stovetop, refrigerator, oven, kitchenware, and a washing machine/dryer. Many units have a private terrace or patio; some have a small balcony, while a shared rooftop terrace is also available. The property has no air conditioning - only fans - which can be uncomfortable in warmer months. Soundproofing is minimal: noise from traffic, the upstairs gym, and neighboring apartments is frequently audible. Higher-floor units (e.g., 9th floor) are significantly quieter. Bed comfort receives mixed feedback - some find beds comfortable and others very firm. Cleanliness has been inconsistent, with some reports of stained linens and bathroom mold. The apartments are generally spacious and well-furnished, but decor and maintenance vary between units.

Each apartment has a fully equipped kitchen with a stovetop, oven, refrigerator, and basic cookware. There is no breakfast service or restaurant on site. However, the surrounding Condesa neighborhood is one of Mexico City's best dining areas, with dozens of cafés, eateries, and bars within a 3-minute walk - including Starbucks, multiple taco spots, and a green salad bar. A weekend park (10 minutes away) hosts food vendors and a vibrant market. For longer stays, a convenience shop is nearby for groceries. The host does not provide coffee or purified water, so plan to stock up. The kitchen is suitable for preparing simple meals, but some have noted it lacks higher-end cookware and sufficient glasses/knives for larger groups.

The property offers a solarium and a sun terrace with outdoor furniture and a picnic area. There is no dedicated pool or spa. A gym operates within the same building, and classes (Zumba, spinning) are audible from 07:00 to 23:00, making it a significant noise source for apartments directly below. The nearby park (10-minute walk) provides playgrounds, bike rentals, and weekend activities like salsa dancing and massage. For those wanting to stay active, the surrounding area offers cycling, walking tours, and many running-friendly streets. The property also offers paid off-site activities such as archery, bowling, and cooking classes.

Free high-speed WiFi (80-100 Mbps) is available throughout, and ethernet ports are present in some apartments. The 24-hour front desk provides a concierge service, luggage storage (free), and can arrange a paid airport shuttle. Free private parking is available in a secure garage with lift access to all floors. A washing machine and dryer are included in each apartment. Daily housekeeping and laundry services are available for an extra fee. Pets are allowed with an $800 cleaning fee. The building has 24-hour security with CCTV and a security guard, plus a controlled entry system. Check-in is self-guided via a lockbox (instructions provided 24 hours before arrival). Early check-in is not available unless the previous night is booked. Late arrivals (e.g., 01:00) are accommodated by the doorman.
