My 5 Best Tips for Booking a Mexico City Airbnb
- I never book anything under 4.5 stars, and for this list I set the bar well above that with nearly-5 star ratings ⭐️
- Look for a building with a doorman, secure entrance, and an elevator, especially if you have heavy luggage 🧳
- Before you book, ask the host about water pressure and if the place has hot water that lasts long enough for you to comfortably shower 🚿
- If you’re a light sleeper, ask about the street noise. Overall, Mexico City is loud, but some streets are worse than others 💃
- For those renting a car in Mexico City, make sure the place has secure parking in an onsite garage 🚙
