Nomad Lago Alberto - 11320 Ciudad de México

No recomiendo vivir acá. Pésima ubicación, está al lado de una escuela pública y a una cuadra de unidades habitacionales y en verdad que da miedo salir del edificio por la noche. La administración en cuestión de servicio es muy mala. Dejé mi auto afuera porque cobran el estacionamiento $200 pesos por toda la noche y amaneció sin espejos. Obviamente no renové el contrato

I like it

Ok

Lago offers the best and most convenient option for renting an apartment in the Nuevo Polanco area. Full Disclosure - I work at Nomad, and we strive to provide the best service possible to our residents.

I lived in Metrobuildings (Changed to Nomad Living) for a year. The biggest living issues came from the security and staff. Bringing guests was always a big hassle and they changed the policy by the end of contract to no longer include gas or electricity. The rent I paid was around $18,200 but I knew others with same layout and cheaper rent. Also the heat was ridiculous on one side of the building

Pros : Amenities Nice view Good reception employees Cons : High price with 10% increase after one year, I moved to another place Making you pay for everything despite the already high cost : lights, forgetting your key... You have to get down for every delivery, which I ´ve seen almost nowhere else in Mexico City Administration is not reactive and maintenance can be bad, I once stay blocked for 4hrs because the access of my appartment was running low on battery... Worst part is that depending on where you are, you can end up facing temperature higher than 30 degrees celsius, and conveniently, Nomad is renting you an air conditionner for 1500 pesos (80 USD) more each month... It is a scam. Now that I moved out, they are taking forever to give me back my deposit of 2 months ! Btw, 1 month is more common for deposits as well. So overall, I would not advise someone to rent there as there re way more cons than pros and other choices in Mexico, don´t be fooled by the advantages for expats, you can find it elsewhere !pa

I lived in Metrobuilding (originally Vyven then changed Metrobuilding and then to NomadLiving) for 2 full years. As an expat, it was easy and conventiently located from my office in Polanco area (8-10 min by car). THE GOOD: The amenities are nice: rooftop pool with great view, club room, and 24h gym... my one-bedroom apartment looked nice, and moderately sized for the area (average/slightly above average in size), parking garage was ok and easy to use. Location is centric and close to many main avenues. There's a coffee house and pharmacy right next to the lobby. Bathrooms are nice and spacious. THE BAD: There were however several living issues with this building. First the security and and staff were abnormally unhelpful and unsympathetic even with the tiniest of issues, saying "no" to no any requests. They charge you FOR EVERYTHING... moved into my "new" apartment and had to replace over 6-7 lightbulbs in the course of 1 year and a half... leds are supposed to last over 5 years... so... and they charged me for each one of them even after breaking after only 6-7 months of use. The building administration/management (an admin assistant and an accountant guy) were inneficient and almost rude... they make you go downstairs to receive any delieveries (groceries, pizza, medicines, etc.) which is a huuuuge CON in these type of "luxuxry" buildings. My apartment (facing poniente/west) was extremely hot during summer (over 30 celcius) and very cold during the winter (below 4-5). They increased my rent twice during my stay (very year) with increases well over the usual market standard... after the second year they increased my rent by almost 30%... ABSURD, which prompted me to move to better newer building closer to Polanco with the same amenities for only 8% more of what I paid there. They have so many prohibitions and absurd policies that you never feel quite at home (rather at a snobish yet not so fancy hotel)... even after 2 years like me. I would recommend to single executives looking to rent for short periods 6 -12 months. Then move to a place you can feel your own.

My apartment was so hot for the months I which the sun reflected off the window i had to rent an expensive air conditioning equipment that hardly made any difference. And with only two small windows in the whole apartment the air does not circulate, you end up having to open the front door for the hot air to cool down. The air conditioning should come as standard equipment. Also make sure they don’t put you on a pet floor if you don’t have pets as the dogs tend to bark a lot and nothing is done about this. (The building is really not suitable for most dogs). If you’re considering a longer term stay be prepared for a rent increase far in excess of inflation. I was several times charged 20% months increases upon renewal. Also be sure of your departure date when you sign the contract as even if you give adequate notice of your departure date, if you leave early, you may be forced to pay two months rent (even if they rent your apartment out the next day). You have to leave two months rent as deposit and even then you may be charged in excess of your deposit as was the case with me. The building claims to be smoke free but depending on your neighbours you may end up passive smoking tabaco or marijuana, with smoke wafting into your apartment and smoking is allowed in designated areas on the roof top which may ruin your pool experience, if like me , you can’t stand smoke. In view of the above experiences I really cannot recommend this property. There are far cheaper and more attractive options around. The management is unhelpful and seems to be intent on making money in the short term rather than taking care of its longer term residents.
