The apartment “looks” beautiful, but could use a lot of work. More than half the light bulbs in the apartment didn’t work, the pillows were completely flat, there were stains on the comforter, and the shower leaks from the top. The bathroom also floods when you shower due to the set up of the drain system. If you are going to do laundry, I would recommend doing it during the day as the washer is extremely loud. The TV is also old and doesn’t allow streaming except for Netflix. We booked 2 airbnbs in Mexico City, this one being almost double the cost of the other one. For the price, it doesn’t live up to expectations.
We booked this Airbnb for the pool, but the amenities are very difficult to use. It requires an appointment in advance and you only get 50 minutes. When we arrived, there was another woman swimming laps even though when we checked in we saw we were the only one still booked for the time. We don’t mind sharing, but we were playing music just loud enough for us to hear (not blasting it or being rude) and security told us that wasn’t allowed. Yet, at the same time there was a guy yelling on a phone call and watching Netflix but he wasn’t told to stop. We also sat up on the upper floor of the pool, and they came in and told us we needed to move down to the lower floor (there were no signs or indications that you couldn’t use the seating upstairs). There also is a hot tub right next to the pool, but again, you aren’t allowed to use it unless you make a separate appointment. Which we didn’t realize, until we got close to it and the security banged on the door loudly and wagged her finger no at us.
It was a hassle to be at this Airbnb. We were told security was expecting us at check-in and came in during normal hours, but we had to sit and wait for 15+ minutes waiting for it to be completed. They also require you to wear plastic orange wristbands that you are required to wear during your entire stay.
Overall, for the price you could get a lot better stay in a hotel or other Airbnb.
