The apartment is visually exactly as photographed on Airbnb. It is colorful, fun, sunny, clean and the private terrace is a nice place to hang out. However, it does have a few kinks which can easily be ironed out.
If you are staying here, make sure to ask them to do the following before you get to the apt:
- have hand soap at all sinks
- have drinking water (no filter at sink and fridge not plumbed)
- have the key into the bedroom across the terrace placed in a logical place that's easily visible
- have the water heater turned to the hot setting
With this said, the host was communicative and helped get these things resolved.

Some things that are harder to fix, but maybe there's something that can be done:
- the smaller bathroom is really dark at night. During the day, it's not an issue since there is a window there. But at night, there is one tiny fixture by the door so it helps to leave the bathroom door open to get enough light
- sometimes the main door into the building gets locked from the inside. Not sure how this happens but it happened twice during our short stay. If this happens, the door's glass panel opens on the inside and you can stick your hand out through the grate and unlock the bottom "X" deadbolt and then use the normal key at the door lever and you should be able to unlock the door and get out of the building. Just be careful not to drop the keys outside!
The location is not exactly the happening area of the city, but it's quiet for the most part and we felt safe walking around at night. Uber arrives really quickly after you call them and it's about a +15 min walk to restaurants/bars of Condesa.
