Boutique Apartment PBK

Our host, Lillian, was very helpful and friendly, with the bonus that she could speak English. The apartment is modern, chic and very artistically designed and decorated, with a Japanese theme. All the mod-cons were provided, the beds were very comfortable, and the sheets and towels were silky soft. The apartment is located a few feet from the main park, Alameda Central, where everything happens, and within easy walking distance of all the city landmarks, restaurants and convenience stores.

The are a few minor irritations, like the broken upstairs hairdryer, the worn-out furniture, the chairs too short for the dining counter, the cracked floor tiles, and the lack of a sharp knife, a spatula and a decent pot or casserole in the kitchen, all of which can be accepted in a well-used apartment, but the main negative is the lack of a decent air-conditioner. The ventilation in the apartment is extremely poor, and even with all the windows open (and there are not many), the apartment was still stifling hot, too hot to sleep comfortably.

The location was excellent - right near the park at Reforma and not far to get to Centro, either walking or by metro. The property was pretty clean and well-stocked with kitchen items etc. There is a lounge and nice TV. The upstairs bed was comfortable, and there is a washing machine/dryer which was very useful. The host was friendly, helpful and available if needed, and the room was serviced daily.

The arrangement of the apartment is a bit odd. The upstairs mezzanine bedroom is accessible by steep and narrow stairs with a very low landing which you have to duck under. Overall anyone very tall would find this apartment a bit tricky to negotiate. The dishwasher was smelly and needed a clean, but we didn't need to use it. There is a water cooler which is great, but it is placed in front of the kitchen drawers so they don't open properly. A few other quirks like that, but still basically a nice apartment if you want somewhere pretty central.

I can’t say nothing negative. Apartment nice and clean. Perfect price in the middle of city.
