The apartment is lovely and the neighborhood quiet, safe, and pleasant. Escandon is not a tourist neighborhood, but it is only a short walk to Condesa, Roma, etc. There is a lovely market around the corner and some nice taquerias and bakeries nearby. There is also a Tuesday market that fills the streets with merchants. The apartment is large and well decorated.
My significant disappointment, however, was that the refrigerator stopped working only a few days into my month-long stay. I messaged the host, who sent a repairman the following day. The repairman failed to fix the refrigerator, and the host did not follow up with me to explain what would be happening. I waited a week, having heard nothing, and messaged him again to ask for some update. I learned that he had simply assumed the repairman had fixed the refrigerator (but apparently had not spoken to him about it or followed up with me). It then took two more weeks for a repairman to come and actually fix it. As a result, I had no refrigerator for 75% of my month long stay, and I lost a refrigerator full of groceries and had to eat out for nearly every meal of my stay. The listing was advertised with a full kitchen, which was a reason I chose it. This problem greatly increased the cost of my stay, and was a major inconvenience. When I asked for a partial refund to address this issue, the host not only refused to provide ANY refund (not even a single dollar), but responded with a snarky message about the apartment not coming with a "concierge." This was confusing to me because my complaint is obviously not a lack of a concierge, but instead that I paid for an apartment with a complete functioning kitchen for a month but did not receive that.
