There were pros and cons to staying at Rebeca's apartment in Mexico City. I really think the guest tried to make this apartment a pleasurable experience, but there were a few challenges that made it difficult to fully enjoy all that it has to offer. On the positive side, I really enjoyed staying in Santa Maria la Ribera, home of the Geological Museum and a lovely Kiosko Morisco. The park is just a block away, and I enjoyed going for a run. There are also a few great restaurants and cafes nearby. The apartment was well decorated and very clean. Rebeca was also attentive and available to answer any questions. I appreciated how quickly she responded to issues that came up.
The challenging aspects of the listing were things that I mentioned to the host as soon as they came up. The temperature in the apartment was definitely an issue. My mother and I were cold for most of our stay. I live in a small town a few hours away, so I'm aware of the fact that many houses in this part of Mexico are very cold. Rebeca's apartment was also faces inwards and has no direct sunlight, which made it even colder. This would not be a problem for anyone who spends the whole day outside and only comes home to sleep, but we often found ourselves at home during the day. We even spent the whole day in the park just to stay warm. There was no heater, and I suggested that she include one to remedy the problem.
We also did not have access to the third bedroom, and this was an issue because when I booked the place I thought we were booking the entire place.
Rebeca clearly states that there is an additional charge for every person after 2 people. I was under the impression that we had access to the whole 3 bedroom apartment (as listed), but was surprised when the maid (who met me there), asked me to choose two rooms. I later followed up with Rebeca about this and she mentioned the additional cost per person after 2 people. This did not apply to us because we were two people who thought we had access to the whole apartment.
I suggested to Rebecca that she should state very clearly that the additional fee is per extra person and/or per extra room. Otherwise, it seems inaccurate and can leave hosts with anleave guests with a negative experience.
