Our stay was not horrible, but it wasn’t good. Here’s the pros and cons.
PROS: close to Parque Chapultepec, the mercado right across the street is really awesome, and it’s close to a cute neighborhood so you can walk. The apartment is cute. The host was fairly responsive, though could be more so.
CONS: the beds are covered in thick plastic and the pillows are so ridiculously thick (and also covered in thick plastic). And the bed was uneven. It was impossible to sleep well. We slept horribly. This was by far the biggest con. If you can’t sleep well, then the place is worthless. There is either very hot water or cold water; the showers won’t stay anywhere in between, also unpleasant but not a deal breaker like the beds. There is a gym directly below the windows which has aerobics classes most of the afternoon and they pump the jams. There was no dish soap. The place smelled like some sort of chemicals which I’m thinking might be the laminate flooring which looks new. Someone else mentioned the apartment is in a residential neighborhood; it is not. It’s a block or so away and feels much more commercial.
In sum, if the issues with the mattresses and pillows are fixed (get rid of the plastic, get some smaller better pillows and somehow make the mattresses flat), then I could recommend this place. As it is now, I would not recommend it.
