WARNING! DO NOT BOOK THIS APARTMENT!
I wish there would have been more clear reviews before I booked it myself. Next door, literally meters away from the bedroom window and apartment, are several roosters housed on the rooftop of the building next door. (No Wall separating the houses). The roosters scream about 6 times/minute, every minute of every hour btw 5 am until 8 pm. You will get no sleep and Will not have the vacation you hoped for, should you book this aparmernt or any apartment in this building!
I was furtunate enough to stay with this host/company in two separate buildings and apartments. We stayed in this building ans apartment but also in one of their other apartments in a building located in St:a Maria.
1.
St:a Maria apartment building and the apartment;
In our first apartment at St:a Maria I have only good things to say. Good neighbourhood, good building, bank and police just next door. A walmart close to the house. Lovely apartments. One thing to be mentioned is that this building in St:a Maria is just next to a very busy highway, its literally outside the window. Another is that there are several dogs that bark for most of the evening/night. Mexico city is a busy city and this was acceptable for us but might not be ok for everyone. On a positive note this companies apartments are amazingly clean, its just as in the pictures when you step inside. Easy check in with easy access and fast replies with the company in the airbnb app. We had a problem in this apartment with the heater/boiler that turned off and a water leak in the kitchen howwever the company sent out a repairman immediately. As compensation for this one night was reimbursed (We stayed home 2 days) and a bottle of tequila was complementary from the host/company. The heater problem seemed to be that one had to turn the heat of the water up/down on the boiler itself and not turn the knob in the shower. (If anyone else experiences the same issue in the future).
2.
This apartment, apartment building ”close to condesa”.
Now we had planned to move to this apartment ”close to condesa”, as the prior aparment wasnt available for the full duration of our stay in Mexico city.
On a good note its clean, its in a good building, its central, its stylish but the downside is that IT IS A PROPER NIGHTMARE (!!!) with the constant screams from the roosters. Expect to have your holiday completely ruined due to this.
The host and company basically told me that I could get a free cancellation and find accomodation elsewhere. That was it.
Do NOT excpect any kind of understanding or other solution from this host in regards to this problem, should you book this apartment/accomodation, and just like me find it unacceptable, you will be left in Mexico city desperately trying to find other accomodation last minute and have a completely different vacation then you had hoped for.
While the host claims it has done ”the outmost to try to help you” (i.e you will be sent links of other accomodation on airbnb of a completely different standard and price). You will also be offered to cancel your stay without charge. I wish someone would have written a proper and honest review prior so that I could have made a better choice, therefore I hope this may prevent others from ending up in the situation I was. Bottom line, don’t book any apartment in this building.
