Neighborhood overview
San Miguel Chapultepec is one of the nicest neighborhoods to live in now a days... why? Situated in Colonia San Miguel Chapultepec it is in the center of mayor activity, comercial and cultural areas in Mexico City. Comercial Zone Polanco, Cultural and Gastronomic Condesa, Night Live Colonia Roma, are just 10 minutes away by car. Cultural Coyoacán, Old Town San Ángel and Zocalo Old Quarter are just 20 minutes away either by taxi or Subway. Subway (Juanacatlán) is a block away and so are a couple coffee shops, deli market, street tacos, tortas and Sanborn´s Mexican Food Chain. Supermarket is three blocks away. It is full of trees, safe and carries a tranquil environment. It maintains the old spirit with specialized shops all around. There are 3 coffee shops in the surrounding blocks. Juice stand, quesadillas stand and a Deli shop with vegan food and small production beer and wine shop. The market is a few blocks away, where one can eat or buy groceries. Supermarket is a few blocks away as well. The Chapultepec Park is a few blocks away and so is the Castle and Museum... definitely a touristic attraction.
Getting around
Taxi on call, Public bikes, Metrobus and Subway. Basically all transport available from a few blocks around the apartment.
Other things to note
The elevator goes up to the sixth Floor. From there 14 steps take you to the seventh floor 14 steps

Summary of reviewsGuests thoroughly enjoyed their stay in Leon's penthouse apartment with beautiful views overlooking the city, comfortable living spaces, helpful staff, and great location for exploring the city. Highly recommended!
10 / 10Outstanding·May 2023
We thoroughly enjoyed our stay in Leon's penthouse apartment. The view towards the park and Chapultepec office towers is spectacular from both the living/dining room and terrace. The main public spaces are decorated with eclectic/artistic objects and we felt as if we were staying in a good friend's well lived-in place.
The condition of the public areas was very good, however the same quality of finish and decoration does not extend to the bedrooms and associated bathrooms. These areas could use some simple upgrades to match the quality of the public zone.
Note that although it has three rooms with beds, the third bedroom is an original study that opens off the main living room and faces the terrace. The glazed wall onto the terrace from this room has vertical blinds that need repair so that this room cannot really be completely private.
Although the unit is not air conditioned, we were pleasantly surprised at how cool it was despite the very extensive glazing. I expect fans may be required in warmer weather.
This is not a luxurious apartment but a very charming and authentic one and we recommend it as a great base for exploring this rapidly gentrifying part of the city.

Tremendous property with unrivaled view looking towards and across Chapultepec toward Reforma. 24 hour staff, responsive owner, and a few cafes/markets within short walking distance. Very large condo.
10 / 10Outstanding·Dec 2022
Had a fantastic 10 days here! The Livingroom/Dining room area is beautiful with great views overlooking the city, felt great to wake up in the morning and watch the sun rise with a cup of coffee through the huge windows and high ceilings. The livingroom was super comfortable with plenty of space to sit and relax, and the bedrooms were perfectly comfortable. The location was an easy walk to the many many fantastic restaurants or to chapultepec park. Finally León was very helpful and responsive, and the staff at the gated entry to the building were always quick and friendly whenever we were heading in/out. Would love to come back and highly recommend!
6 / 10Average·Jul 2019
The apartment was large and had a great layout. The communal spaces were amazing and so unique. The views at night and in the morning were so nice. I had the impression that it overlooked the park but it is more accurate to say that you can see the tree tops of the park, you can see the Castillo, once you know where it is. The apartment was secure and the gentleman at the gate were friendly and helpful. We loved the area and really enjoyed Mexico City. I was disappointed in the quality of the apartment and its amenities for how much we paid for it. There were no top sheets on the beds which is an absolute must in a rental. I asked the owner but we never got more linens (I did find one spare set) One of the showers leaked badly soaking the floor and so we stopped using it, so it really became a 1 full bath and 2 half bath apartment. The curtains in the main room were falling off and held up by a rope. The windows needed to be open at night and there are no screens so we did get some mosquito bites and it is was pretty noisy but that is city living, There was hand soap but no bath soap. The kitchen was stocked with cooking supplies (although we did not cook) There was some coffee but no filters. Normally these things do not bother me but this apartment was one of the more expensive apartments listed on VRBO in this area and so I expected a little more. The owner did respond to emails but we did not get any contact info for the host or check in information prior to arrival. The elevator wasn't always working so we took the stairs which wasn't a big deal for us, but if an elevator is a must for you, this one was a bit sketchy. If the apartment was stocked with better linens, basic supplies, got a deep cleaning and had some basic repairs it would be a 5 star because of the views, the open layout and great entertaining spaces.
