It was my first Airbnb reservation and I had a very good experience, from the owners who answered me almost immediately to the place itself, which was very nice. I highly recommend it.
Who books corporate housing in Mexico City, and what each of them needs
A corporate stay is not a furnished apartment paid with a company card. What decides it is who is paying, whether the guest arrives alone or as part of a team, what finance needs on file before the first night, and whether the apartment still works in week three of the assignment. After more than four years hosting furnished stays in Roma Norte and Narvarte, the corporate bookings fall into three patterns, and each needs a different first message.
Procurement and finance
The stay needs a quote finance can approve: a written 30+ night total, CFDI eligibility settled before payment, a cancellation boundary in writing, and one contact who answers the invoice question in one email. If invoicing is the blocker, start with the corporate housing CFDI basics guide.
Assignees and relocation
One person on a 30–90 night assignment, a relocation scout testing neighborhoods, or a new hire waiting for a lease. A monthly apartment in Mexico City with a real desk and a kitchen beats a hotel by the second week; the price gap is in the tables below.
Teams and rotations
Two to four colleagues on the same project, or clinicians and engineers rotating through on fixed schedules. Here layout matters more than nightly rate: separate bedrooms, a two-bedroom versus two rooms, staggered arrivals. Compare Roma Norte vs Narvarte for corporate housing before narrowing the brief.
What corporate housing costs in Mexico City in 2026
Procurement usually asks for a number before a neighborhood. These are 2026 monthly ranges for furnished units that meet a corporate brief — a real desk, reliable Wi-Fi, a kitchen, laundry access, utilities included — drawn from our own operated rates and the public listing market. Nightly-rate platforms quote lower and bill higher; the channel note under the table explains why.
| Neighborhood | Furnished 1BR / month | Furnished 2BR / month | Typical corporate use |
|---|---|---|---|
| Narvarte | $22,000–$32,000 MXN | $32,000–$45,000 MXN | Long assignments, team housing, hospital-adjacent work |
| Del Valle | $23,000–$34,000 MXN | $34,000–$48,000 MXN | Residential assignments, families |
| Juárez | $26,000–$38,000 MXN | $36,000–$52,000 MXN | Reforma office corridor, central meetings |
| Roma Norte | $28,000–$42,000 MXN | $40,000–$60,000 MXN | Executives, consultants, client-facing stays |
| Condesa | $30,000–$46,000 MXN | $44,000–$65,000 MXN | Relocation trials, longer stays with partners |
| Polanco | $40,000–$60,000 MXN | $58,000–$90,000 MXN | Premium, client-facing assignments |
At roughly 17.5 MXN to the US dollar, a one-bedroom runs about $1,250–$3,450 USD a month depending on the neighborhood. StayWork operates in the two bolded rows. For the citywide picture beyond corporate briefs, see the furnished monthly apartment cost guide.
What moves the number
- Neighborhood is the largest variable — $10,000–$25,000 MXN a month between Narvarte and Polanco for the same layout.
- Layout. A two-bedroom shared by two colleagues costs less than two one-bedrooms and far less than two hotel rooms. Compare per guest, not per unit.
- Length. Monthly rates apply from 30 nights. For 60- or 90-night assignments, ask for a quote at that length rather than extrapolating the monthly figure.
- Booking channel. Platform service fees of 15–20% add $5,000–$9,000 MXN to a monthly booking, and the platform, not the property, issues the receipt — which is why a CFDI usually cannot come from a platform booking. Book direct vs Airbnb for monthly apartments in CDMX covers the channel comparison in full.
Corporate apartment vs hotel: the full 30-night assignment cost
A hotel quote and a furnished corporate apartment quote are not directly comparable until procurement includes the whole assignment: the written lodging total, taxes, cleaning, deposit timing, meals and laundry, workspace, and whether the team needs separate bedrooms or multiple units. Laid out that way, the gap is not close.
| Line item | Business hotel, 30 nights | Furnished corporate apartment, 30 nights |
|---|---|---|
| Room / rent | $75,000–$135,000 MXN ($2,500–$4,500 a night) | $28,000–$46,000 MXN, central neighborhood |
| Utilities and Wi-Fi | Included | Included in a professional monthly rate |
| Breakfast and meals | $9,000–$18,000 MXN | $6,000–$11,000 MXN with a kitchen |
| Laundry | $3,000–$6,000 MXN at hotel rates | $300–$600 MXN at a local lavandería |
| Workspace | A desk in the room, or a paid business centre | A dedicated desk in the unit |
| Estimated total | $87,000–$159,000 MXN | $34,300–$57,600 MXN |
The difference is typically $50,000–$100,000 MXN per guest per month. For a team of four on a three-month project, that is the gap between a housing line that survives procurement review and one that does not.
Hotel baseline
Multiply the final nightly rate by the complete stay, then add meals, laundry, parking, and any workspace or meeting-room costs the assignee will need.
Apartment baseline
Use the written 30+ night total and confirm utilities, cleaning, deposit, cancellation boundaries, kitchen, laundry access, and the exact work setup.
Team comparison
Compare occupancy and privacy, not only price per room. A two-bedroom fits a project team differently from two hotel rooms; let policy decide the acceptable format.
Factura (CFDI), procurement, and written terms
Travel and finance teams usually need a valid factura CFDI for lodging spend and a quote they can route for approval. Both are simple if they are settled before payment and slow if they surface after checkout.
What we need for a CFDI
RFC, razón social, tax address, and uso de CFDI for the paying entity, plus the payment path. Not every rate or channel qualifies — a platform booking usually cannot produce a CFDI from the property — so we confirm eligibility first and say plainly when it does not apply, before anyone's accounts-payable workflow is waiting on it.
The month-end problem. A stay that crosses fiscal periods, or a CFDI requested after checkout, is the most common way a corporate booking stalls in accounts payable. Send the fiscal details with the dates and the invoice timing is agreed before payment. First step: email info@stayworkcdmx.com with the company legal name, RFC, projected dates, headcount, and whether CFDI is required.
What to send for a quote
The fastest corporate quote is the one whose first message includes the operational details: guest count, preferred neighborhood, arrival and departure window, apartment format, billing entity, CFDI requirement, and any policy constraints such as a maximum nightly rate, separate bedrooms, elevator needs, or late-arrival instructions.
Dates and flexibility
Share fixed dates and acceptable backup windows. Calendar gaps change which unit makes sense for a monthly or team stay.
Guest profile
Tell us whether the stay is for an executive, relocation scout, technical team, visiting clinician, university guest, or support staff.
Paperwork needs
Confirm whether finance needs CFDI, a written confirmation, contract review, or a single point of contact before payment.
Contracts, confirmations, and team bookings
For team bookings or overlapping assignments, we map inventory across the Roma Norte lofts, the Narvarte two-bedroom, and the Narvarte private rooms, and issue one confirmation covering check-in and check-out times, occupancy limits, and cancellation boundaries. Master service agreements or custom contract riders can be reviewed for longer programs or recurring cohorts.
- Single point of contact for procurement, HR, and mobility partners
- Written confirmation of nightly or monthly rates and the payment schedule
- Self check-in packets distributed to each guest with the same operational detail
Roma Norte or Narvarte: choosing the base for the assignment
Roma Norte offers walkable access to dining, banking, and professional services — valuable for international assignees and anyone whose week includes client meetings. Narvarte is a quieter residential base with strong transit links, one Metrobús line to Centro Médico, and Parque Delta for downtime, frequently chosen for medical and technical rotations and for team housing where cost per month matters over a long stay. Teams still comparing areas can use the Mexico City neighborhoods for monthly stays guide before narrowing the brief.
| Assignment | Start with | Why |
|---|---|---|
| Executive or client-facing visit | Roma Norte | The neighborhood does client-facing work; meetings, dining, and banking are walkable |
| 3–6 month project assignment | Narvarte | Cost per month over a long stay; a quiet weekday routine; Metrobús to the centre |
| Medical or technical rotation | Narvarte | One Metrobús line to Centro Médico and the hospital corridor; Parque Delta for recovery days |
| Team of two to four on one project | Narvarte 2BR, or a Roma + Narvarte split | Separate bedrooms beat two hotel rooms; split the team by who needs meetings versus quiet |
| Relocation trial with a partner | Roma Norte | The neighborhood is part of the decision; a loft with pool and gym carries the evenings |
The units
Team relocation checklist
Run through this before the first message and the quote comes back in one round instead of four.
- Headcount and layout. Who shares, who needs a door that closes, and whether a two-bedroom or separate units fit travel policy.
- Dates and a backup window. Fixed dates plus acceptable alternatives; calendar gaps decide which unit is realistic.
- Billing entity and CFDI. Legal name, RFC, uso de CFDI, and whether the invoice is required for approval or only for reimbursement.
- Payment path and timing. Card, transfer, or purchase order; deposit rules; whether month-end matters to your finance calendar.
- Work setup. Video-call hours, monitor needs, and whether anyone works nights — it changes which unit and which side of the building.
- Arrival. Flight times, late-arrival instructions, and who receives the self check-in packet for each guest.
- Cancellation boundary. The date after which the stay is committed, in writing, before payment.
- One contact on each side. A single point of contact for the whole program, so nothing is re-explained per guest.

Everything was excellent. The hosts were very friendly and helpful. The space is very nice, clean, and has everything needed for a comfortable stay. The kitchen area is very well equipped and the team was always super punctual.
Corporate housing FAQ
How much does corporate housing cost per month in Mexico City?
In 2026, a furnished one-bedroom suitable for a corporate stay runs roughly $22,000–$32,000 MXN a month in Narvarte, $28,000–$42,000 MXN in Roma Norte, and $40,000–$60,000 MXN in Polanco. Two-bedroom units for colleagues or families run $32,000–$90,000 MXN depending on the neighborhood.
Is a furnished apartment cheaper than a hotel for a 30-night assignment?
Usually by a wide margin. A business hotel at $2,500–$4,500 MXN a night costs $75,000–$135,000 MXN over 30 nights before meals and laundry. A comparable furnished apartment with utilities, Wi-Fi, kitchen, and laundry included lands at $28,000–$46,000 MXN in a central neighborhood.
Do you issue factura CFDI for corporate housing?
We can often support factura CFDI for qualifying corporate stays when company data, RFC, uso de CFDI, payment path, and stay details are reviewed before booking. Confirm this before payment; do not assume every channel or rate qualifies.
Can procurement book multiple apartments?
Yes, subject to availability. We coordinate across the Roma Norte lofts, the Narvarte 2BR, and the Narvarte private rooms when dates, headcount, and approval needs are clear.
What is the minimum stay for corporate rates?
Monthly rates start at 30 nights. Shorter corporate stays are possible on availability but are priced nightly, so ask for a quote rather than assuming the monthly figure applies.
Which neighborhood is better for business travelers?
Roma Norte is stronger for walkability, cafes, meetings, and first-time international assignees. Narvarte is stronger for quieter monthly value, hospital or technical rotations, and two-bedroom stays.
What should we do if dates or paperwork are not final?
Email before opening the live calendar. Corporate stays are easier to handle when quote timing, payment, documentation, arrival details, and cancellation expectations are discussed before checkout.
