What a wonderful place to stay for an unforgettable trip to Mexico City. Octavio’s home is beautiful, comfortable and in the perfect location for short walks to Condesa’s fine restaurants. Our trip was planned at the last minute, and Octavio was very kind in sharing many excellent recommendations for our stay. So many in fact that I am itching to get back and visit again.

Really beautiful space for a group - the windows, views and trees made it such a relaxing space to spend time while still feeling like you’re experiencing Mexico City.

We were a family of 8 including three children. We all had a wonderful stay. The fact Parque España is right in front of the apartment, kids could enjoy the park early morning. Additionally, to wake up and see the trees and birds around the apartment was absolutely amazing. The space and location was great. Supermarkets within 7 minutes walking. Cafes and restaurants all around. Octavio was available all the time. He bought us a new coffee machine. And fixed the water supply of the refrigerator efficiently. If I could suggest something to the owner for improving the rental would be better quality of towels, cooking utensils and better pots and pans . However, if you are not planning to cook this is not important. I forgot to mention that we felt very safe. There is security staff at front desk 24/7. We had a great stay and hope to come back in the future. Thanks Octavio!

Octavio was a gracious and generous host! He was very responsive, helpful and friendly. The apartment is in a beautiful neighborhood, near two parks, lots of restaurants and shops, and very safe. The apartment is spacious, comfortable, and well appointed. I would stay again and highly recommended this property!

The photos are incredible and then the reality exceeds expectations. The location in Condesa right in between two main parks is perfect. Tree top views from the common areas in the oversized unit and the shared rooftop is an incredible spot too. Our group of 7 adults had plenty of space and Octavio is a very responsive and helpful host. Wonderful trip for a big birthday weekend in CDMX.

Space was even better than shown in pictures. It was perfect for our multigenerational family. Everyone had their own space. Apartment is a block away from Amsterdam Ave with many charming restaurants and bakeries.

Octavio was an outstanding host from start to finish. He accommodated us very quickly and was extremely responsive to all of our questions, which made the entire stay smooth and stress-free. He also shared amazing local recommendations that we absolutely fell in love with. The apartment itself is beautiful, spacious, and thoughtfully detailed, you can really tell a lot of care went into it. The location is perfect: walkable to so many great restaurants, cafés, and spots around Condesa and Roma Norte. We couldn’t have asked for a better experience and would absolutely stay here again. Highly recommend!

The apartment was just like the photos! Beautifully decorated, super spacious, with three big ensuite bedrooms (plus one smaller bedroom with a bathroom across the hallway) and a huge balcony overlooking the park. Felt super safe in the building with 24-hour security, and the rooftop was such a nice place to hang out and enjoy the amazing views. The location in La Condesa couldn’t have been better — we could walk to tons of great restaurants, coffee spots, and shops. Octavio’s restaurant picks were perfect — every place he suggested was fantastic! Octavio was great to communicate with — always quick and helpful! We’d definitely recommend staying here. Our only regret is that seven days just wasn’t enough time to see all the beauty Mexico City has to offer.

Excellent location. Park de España right across the street. Many good restaurants nearby within walking distance. Apt is beautiful. Lots of open common space. For the price paid there should have been new bar soap in wrappers instead had bar soap imbedded with hair. There was very limited amount of trash bags. There was a shortage of drinking glasses and only 2 wine glasses and a small role of paper for cleaning! He communicated great when I first expressed interest about renting the property. After that the communication was not good. He wouldn’t respond for many hours after questions were posed to him!I also suggest that one takes pictures of the apt when first entering so there can be no question of what is what. With a little effort this place would be ideal. There is a rooftop bar and tables and chairs and the views are magnificent . If owner corrects these few things this place is great for a large group!
Host Response
To my future guests, if you read the rest of my reviews you’ll notice I’m rated 99% of the time with 5-stars. That’s why AIRBNB grants me the “Super Host” distinction. Mark and his family were very well treated as I gave them an early check-in at no extra cost, and I saved them money and effort by not having to bring a baby cradle (pack n’ play) from the USA. However they were dissatisfied with their stay at the end because one of the babies they brought, was allowed to cradle on top of the living room’s table and broke an expensive flower vase made of Murano crystal (from Murano, Italy). Even though I offered them a 50% discount on the vase’s cost, they challenged it and we had to involve AIRBNB to analyze and solve the matter, which was resolved by paying me 59% of the price

My experience with Octavio was fantastic! His apartment was beautiful (even better than the photos) and in the perfect location. Checking in was super easy, and he was very quick to respond to any questions/concerns that we had. He also provided several recommendations on food/bars in the area. I HIGHLY recommend staying at his apartment!

I was extremely pleased to host Bryan and his crew, as they were highly educated in treating the apartment as it was theirs. Congratulations again Brian for celebrating your 40th birthday in Mexico with so much style!

Octavio was the man! He gave us great instructions, apartment was very clean and well furnished, with a beautiful view of the castle and the park. Octavio also gave us all kinds of recommendations to do throughout the city as well as condesa. The building was awesome with 24/7 security to always greet us. There was so much to do around the apartment all in walking distance and we felt very safe doing so even late at night, everything was very well lit around it. I would highly recommend this apartment to anyone looking. Even left my sunglasses at the apartment and Octavio shipped them back!

This apartment is in a prime location, right in the heart of the best part of town. The views are breathtaking, and the space is generous, easily accommodating a large family. The apartment itself is clean and tastefully decorated. While we didn’t cook during our stay and can’t speak to the kitchen’s functionality, the overall amenities are somewhat minimal. However, the host is exceptionally friendly and accessible, clearly committed to enhancing the space. With a few small improvements, the experience could be even better. One important note—this apartment is on a bustling street, and there is no AC, so open windows are necessary in warm weather. If you’re sensitive to noise, earplugs are a must. That said, waking up to the morning birdsong from the nearby park is an unexpected delight!

Our stay was incredible! We highly recommend Octavio's place. It had everything that we needed. Bedrooms on either side of the living spaces for privacy, a nice open kitchen, and incredible sliding glass balcony doors to let the cool evening air in. Check in and check out was a breeze, as there is someone at the desk in the building lobby 24/7. WiFi was fast and reliable. The apartment is directly across the street from the park, and a couple of blocks in the other direction from another large park. Countless restaurants and boutique shops within walking distance and just a short Uber/tax ride away from other parts of the city. Octavio was incredibly thoughtful with his recommendations and instructions for the stay. We would stay here again without hesitation. Amazing stay!

Our stay was absolutely fantastic! The host was incredibly responsive and flexible, going above and beyond to ensure we were comfortable—including providing extra fans (which we didn’t even end up needing) and allowing us a late checkout. The location couldn’t be better, with Parque España and Parque México just a short 2-minute walk away. The place was exactly as described, and my family especially loved the cozy living room where we could unwind together after long days of exploring. Everything was perfect, and we would definitely return!

Octavio’s unit is gorgeous and was wonderful for my group! Plenty of space for five women where we didn’t feel on top of each other. Octavio also was kind enough to share his favorite restaurants and things to do — which made exploring during our short 3-day stay easier. I will definitely will book again with Octavio because I love Mexico City now! Thank you!

We had a fantastic time in Mexico City. Octavio’s listing was the perfect location to base ourselves. Fantastic amenities, coffee shops, restaurants and bars all within walking distance. We all felt safe in the neighbourhood when exploring. The apartment was a dream. Large double en-suite bedrooms. More than enough space for 5 people. Completely spotless and clean, it felt like being at home. Had all the necessary utensils and equipment you would expect. The best part was the balcony. Spacious with lovely views of the park, absolutely beautiful. I would highly recommend Octavia’s listing. Perfect place to base yourself when exploring the wonders of Mexico City.
