Gabriel’s apartment has potential but unfortunately it needs a lot more attention and a lot more maintenance. For the first time at Air Bnb I had horrible experience but first the positives. Big space, great furniture, La Condesa location, cold apartment in the winter but should be great for the summer, Gabriel is an interesting guy with a good personality. Now the issues that I had: 1. I booked the day before check in and Gabriel did not tell there was not hot water. He changed the boiler after check in but hot water would come in and out, not a constant flow. 2. Apartment had a strong smell of what I thought was either mold or sewage issues. It was so intense that I could stay not even for the first night. When I visited the apartment the day before check in (and before booking) all windows were strategically open so I did not notice any smell. Only after spending the day outside with the apartment with windows closed, the strong smell came to life. 3. Cleaning issues that did not prevent me from booking but for clean freaks may be deal breaker: laundry room was filthy, top of chest of drawers were dirty and tiles on master bathroom had mold on them. 4. Given what happened to the smell, I asked Gabriel for a full refund but he denied and chose to keep 2 nights of my reservation monies despite all the trouble I went through to find a new place at my first night there. I stayed at 3 apartments so far in CDMX, la Condesa and I had had great experiences so far so I cannot recommend Gabriel’s place.
