I was very excited to be here. The apartment looked good and it was promoted as having a good location and having 1.5 bathrooms. When we got there we loved the apartment. Clean, good kitchen and good space. However there were no .5 bathrooms and there was construction going on outside the house, which Luis (who does not live in Mexico City) did not communicate. When I asked why he hadn’t told us about the aforementioned, he said we could leave and he would give a refund. He also asked if we were just being difficult about the absence of the .5 bathrooms as though it was not a marketing point, neglecting that I in fact did book because that .5 bathrooms would have been beneficial to both of us. He didn’t apologize and we decided not to leave because it was too late to find somewhere else. Throughout the stay there was more than one construction events that took place on the house. So we woke up to noise some mornings. It’s finished now however, nobody made us privy to that inconvenience.
His mother Carrie met us and she was nice. We heard nothing from Luis until it was soon time for us to go. His mother is lovely and warm. We didn’t speak very much unless she wanted to communicate something about the water or any problems, information about the market and garbage disposal.
If you have a car Tlalnepantla/ Altavilla is good for you. If you do not be prepared to pay for transport meaning a taxi to the train station or to your location. It’s about a 15 minute walk to the top of the road and taxis will tell you that the nearest train station is very dangerous which, it is. The bus runs in the area very often as well.
