The pros:
-The location was great. There was a convenient store, pharmacy, Wal-Mart, and a bunch of restaurants really close by
-The apartment has a new fridge and stove/oven
The cons:
-The quality of the apartment: The building is old so the outside of the apartment has peeling paint and it has old windows which isn't uncommon in Mexico City. My biggest issue with the apartment were the hollow floors. The floors didn't feel sturdy and I felt like I had to step carefully when walking around the apartment because I didn't want to be too loud to the apartment below.
-The check-in/check-out process: You need a key to both enter and leave the apartment building. I wasn't able to check-in to the Airbnb my first night in Mexico City because I wasn't able to get to the apartment until after 9pm and the host wasn't available at that time to check me in. Luckily I had a friend who I could stay with my first night. Similarly, when I checked out, I needed to meet with the host because I wouldn't be able to leave the apartment building without the key.
-Not good for 2 people: My friend and I were only given 1 set of keys which we needed to enter/leave both the apartment and the building. If one person has the keys then the other person would not be able enter or leave the building.
-Cleanliness: The fitted sheets for the bed were a bit tattered and had stains, along with the pillow sheets and towels. I asked the host for new pillow sheets/pillows and she was able to accommodate that.
-Hot showers: Hot water in the shower wasn't always dependable. Some days it was great and I had not issues and other days the water would become cold after 5 minutes.
-Noise: It's off of the street which is nice so there wasn't a lot of car noise but it's very easy to hear the neighbors. There was also very loud construction on the floor above me while I was staying there and when I brought this up to the host and asked for some refund, she refused to believe me.
