"A 17th-century convent restored as a 370-key aparthotel. Best-in-segment design, smaller-than-listed rooms, central but not tourist-central. Premium pick, not budget."

Independent research-desk reviews of hotels, aparthotels, and co-living for full-time travelers. Every stay scored on the same five criteria. Every claim sourced. New stays added three times a week.
Five criteria, each scored 1–10, total out of 10. The same rubric applied to every property — premium, mid-range, or budget. We score what is publicly verifiable; we do not score what would require a personal visit (mattress firmness, shower pressure, staff temperament on a given Tuesday).

"Built for remote workers, with the on-site coworking included in the rate. The math is genuinely good. The week-to-week experience is bimodal — loved and hated in the same six months."
First Mexico City stay forthcoming. Building toward a full neighborhood-by-neighborhood Roma Norte / Condesa / Polanco grid.
No one from Port de Provenance has stayed at the properties we review. Every claim above traces to a public source: the property's own published specifications, third-party rate-tracking aggregators, government and industry safety data, design-press coverage, and verified guest reviews from Booking.com, Google, and Tripadvisor.
This is the Wirecutter model adapted for full-time travel: aggregate the public signal, score it on a consistent rubric, surface what guests consistently praise and consistently criticize, route the booking through a transparent affiliate partner so the work pays for itself.
