Good points - pretty blue courtyard with friendly local people. Nice feel - lots of pets including a dog, cats & some terrapins. It felt safe as there’s an external gate from the road into the shared courtyard although the main lock on the front door didn’t seem that secure. The space was nice but a little smaller than it looked in photos & needs updating. Nice full length mirror & fairy lights in bedroom with comfy bed complete with fluffy throw, cushions & cuddly toys. Girly & quirky. Kitchen had big fridge/freezer, kitchen bar & bar stools, hob, water filter, blender (although no lid). Bathroom was very small but great hot water showers. Lots of hangers, toilet paper & cleaning equipment. Trash removal from right outside the front door. Claudia was great on communications. Location is good - 30m walk or short taxi to Condesa/Roma.
Not so great - very few of the main lights worked. There was a table & chairs but it got very dark there (no lamp) so quite difficult to work from home. The internet cut out a couple of times when I was on conference calls. Left over seafood pasta was left in the fridge & had gone bad/stunk & didn’t feel very clean on arrival. Claudia refunded the cleaning fee & arranged a free clean to address this. Sofa seemed dirty - needs deep clean/replacing. There’s barely any storage space - all cupboards/drawers were already full of stuff & ‘guest cupboard’ half full of boxes/half the hanging rack full of clothes etc so difficult to unpack & feel at home. No heater so can be cold (& dark) in the flat even on sunny days. Very old pans with loose handles for cooking. Chair covers were peeling.
