Cuauhtemoc is friendly, speaks English, and very responsive as a host. He is running several Airbnbs out of the building though so don’t expect a super personal touch going in.
The room, however, definitely has some things you should know about going in. First, it’s a basement room — this means lacking in natural light (photos are accurate in that sense), cold and clammy even when it’s warm outside, and can get chilly at night (blankets provided). Second, the shower situation (which no one really took the time to explain in reviews for some reason) is that it’s a shower head basically above the toilet in an already tiny bathroom. It’s not a huge deal but the pressure is weak and it takes time for the water to get hot. Fyi this also means the bathroom floor gets soaked after showering so having some waterproof slippers would have been nice. Sounds kind of uppity but the only sink is in the bathroom so there’s a lot of running in and out of the bathroom and getting wet feet. This brings me to #3, which is the lacking kitchen space — doesn’t seem like this space is that liveable functionally and the makeshift kitchen space reaffirms that. It’s fine for heating things up but not much beyond that.
Anyway, besides all of that, we had a great time and really enjoyed our trip! It’s in a great part of town, affordable, and Cuauhtemoc gave us nice local tips.
