Overall we very much enjoyed our stay, and might consider staying again if we are ever in the area.
Pros:
- Host Rodrigo is very responsive, and acted fast to get us what we needed. ( provided a fan and a scale ( so that we could weight our bags before going to the airport) and toilet paper)
- The airbnb is in a very good location, very safe and quiet and lots to do during the day or at night. It is also pretty close ( in walking distance or a short Uber ride) to a lot of attractions and tourist sites.
- It is pet friendly, we brought our Chihuahua with us and there were two dog-friendly parks near us ( although there isn't any grass, only concrete or dirt)
- Good, fast internet connection, and Roku tv so we would watch Netflix or youtube ( all settings are in Spanish, so just be aware of that while you are navigating to what you need. )
- Equipped Kitchen. Most of what you need is there, and if you don't have something there is a Walmart express about a block away.
- Near lots of good restaurants, bars, street food, banks, the Angle of Independence, Bus tour stops, etc
- Big windows which let in a lot of natural light.
- Awesome front desk / security team. They are very friendly and do a good job of keeping the building secure.
- Washing machine which doubles as a dryer, although there is a lavandaria nearby if you do not want to wash your own cloths.
- Beds are firm and comfortable.
- Warm shower water and good water pressure which sometimes can be an issue in areas oof Mexico City
- There is a n elevator, so if you have mobility issues or a lot of luggage, that is a plus
- There is a gym if you want to work out
Cons
- Rooms looked a little dated compared to the pictures.
- Windows do not open, so although they let in a lot of light, it can get very stuffy and humid very quickly ( hence why we requested the fan, which was brought to us promptly)
- Washing machine has a dryer, but it takes about two cycles to get everything dry. We mainly air dried anyway, but just an fyi
- The apartment as a whole was very clean and tidy, so it was surprising that the oven not clean inside, we ended up not using it.
Misc
- The wall for the second room is a glass window, so you can see into the living room, and whoever is in the living room can see into that room, but there is a blind that can be pulled down for privacy. This is not a pro or a con, just something to mention. Also the light for the living room is connect to the second bedroom. So the living room and bedroom lights go on and off at the same time. Could be a con if someone is trying to sleep and someone is trying to work in different rooms.
Overall, good value, great host, awesome location.
