Let’s start with the positives: The location of Sinaloa 44 is truly unbeatable. Especially if you plan to hang around Roma Norte, you’ll find that many cool bars and restaurants are within walking distance. The area felt very safe for two women traveling alone. And Mati and Santi were extremely responsive whenever any issues came up, which we appreciated.
However, whether those issues actually got resolved is another topic…
To start, there is construction going on both across the street and across the hall, which makes it hard to get a good night’s sleep. Not the hosts’ fault, though the price was kind of steep considering.
Second, the locks on the doors are very flimsy. When we arrived, there was a hole in our front door around the lock, which we were concerned about, especially as the digital lock wasn’t working. Mati and Santi sent someone up to cover the hole, which was more of a bandaid fix than a solution, but we appreciated it nonetheless.
The bigger issue came with the shower. Not only is the pressure really bad, the hot water lasts one minute max. Mati and Santi graciously had someone come by on two days to look at the boiler, and the solution ended up being to set the temperature in the kitchen before going in for a shower and not tweaking it once inside the shower…. not ideal.
All in all, would recommend this spot for the location, as long as noise doesn’t bother you and you have somewhere to shower. We would come back here once construction is done and the shower is fixed.
