Is it better to stay in a hotel or Airbnb in Mexico City?
The decision between staying in a hotel or Airbnb in Mexico City really depends on what you’re looking for out of your stay. Hotels offer a luxury experience with services like room service and cleaning, but can be more expensive than an Airbnb. Airbnbs offer a unique experience with the opportunity to stay in someone’s home, often giving you access to areas hotels don’t, such as local neighborhoods. Airbbs also tend to be more walkable in the city’s neighborhoods. Both have their own advantages and disadvantages, so it’s important to consider your needs before making a decision.
