The apartment is small, but was comfortable enough for two people. It is on the third floor and has no elevator. This was exhausting! We had some issues in the beginning with the keys, where previous tenants kept a spare and the host had to replace the locks. It was a weird exchange but I am happy that he attended to my concerns.
The neighborhood is not in a nice part of town. Every time I told people I was staying in Doctores, they expressed concern for my safety. I was never bothered, but I did not feel comfortable walking at night like I would in other parts of the city (but you do get what you pay for)
The apartment was really comfortable for me and my friend, it has two rooms and one and a half bathrooms. IT DOES NOT HAVE CLOSETS. I had to go buy a makeshift rack from Walmart to hang my things. It does not really have things for the kitchen either. There are pots and silverware, but it is limited on plates & cups. It didn’t have towels, either.
The only real issue I had was when I didn’t confirm a date with the host for some people to come to the AIRBNB and do some measurements for future improvements. I came back to the apartment one day and there were 4-5 people in the apartment. There were two people hanging out in my room, talking. Some people in my roommate’s room doing measurements. And some in the living room, made a huge mess and put dirty things on top of our clean sheets we had left out. The host did text me asking to confirm a date and time for these people to come, but I had not a chance to organize it so I didn’t like the facts the a group of strangers were in the AIRBNB without my consent.
This is one of the more economic options on AIRBNB, but there’s definitely a reason for it, and it’s mainly the location. Overall, the place is a good and cheap option for a short stay and to be close to nicer neighborhoods like Condesa (about a $2 Uber, 10 min).
