How else can you find short term stays? Just looked at facebook groups, most of them unfurnished. The ones furnished want at least a year contract. Then looked at whatsapp groups and the price is only 10-20% cheaper. I think CDMX is expensive because of super peso right now. All of my mexican friends also complain about this

Right now there is no 1br airbnb less than $1500/month in city center CDMX. If you go 30 mins drive away from city center then $1000/month but quality is not very good. Don’t forget that there is 20% tax and airbnb fee(around 10%). If you find a place for $1000 you will pay $1300 actually. Whoever I talk here at least spend $2k-3k at least.
