We weren’t sure about booking a place with no reviews, but we had seen another unit in the same building by the same hosts with a few reviews so we decided we’d give it a shot. Check-in is super easy, hosts are grade A attentive, and the place looks just like the photos. The common space is great to spend time in, spacious with lots of natural light and windows. Really loved that. Bonus having 2 bathrooms, one for each bedroom.
The only major con could be a dealbreaker for anyone who is sensitive to noise or a light sleeper, because it does get pretty loud inside. The location is great for being in proximity to all the charming things Condesa has to offer, but it happens to be positioned at the end of a quiet street, facing a really busy intersection and thoroughfare. Street traffic is super loud, especially when the big trucks come through. *This is coming from someone who has lived in a big city with a train station in front of their bedroom window* Add to the mix the 2 bars below where music goes till late and so does the crowd. It’s fun to hear everyone having a good time, but if you’re ready to sleep or have young children, you won’t be able to turn that noise off. The hosts do supply ear plugs and I highly recommend it. It can get a little stuffy inside, but that’s easily fixed with opening all the windows for some fresh air, you just have to surrender to the sounds of the streets.
FWIW, despite all of that, we would stay here again for the location, digs, and ease.
