I experienced two misleading/incorrect those are written in this listing. (Hosts may have been corrected when you check this review.)
------------
Problem #1.
------------
Despite the listing stating "washing machine available," I was told that the washing machine was not available for some reason (apparently the host was not good at English and said it was out of order maybe).
And hosts suggested to use a laundry store (paid service) outside the building and told that I would be shown the way the next day, but the host did not come out from their room and I was not shown the way.
I was quite shocked because I had searched and booked this room with the condition of "laundry shop available". (I should add that I had experienced losing clothes in a laundry store in Mexico, so "laundry machine available" was important.)
Also, a few days later, it turned out that the washing machine was not broken. (This was based on the testimony of a third party, a cleaning staff member. I was told that I needed permission from the host to use it.)
If the washing machine was broken, that would be understandable. But in the end, that was also a lie I found. It was a very problematic response.
------------
Problem #2.
------------
The listing shows that the living room is in the "area of access". In addition, the house rules did not state the conditions of use of the living room.
Despite this, Host told that the living room was not available to guest(me) daytime during the weekdays because it was used by the host for work, and that it was not available on the weekends because it was used by host's family and friends.
If there was no problem with the washing machine and only this saying, I would understand. However, since this was after the washing machine problem, I felt this response was also problematic.

My thought

It is understandable that Hosts don't want to write anything bad in the listing description in order to get guest reservations, but these are not a sincere response at all.

Other Pros&Cons
------------
Pros:
The hosts were friendly.
The guest room was large enough for the price (compared to other listings in the same area and at the same season).
The host lives there, and the common area is basically very clean. Cleaning staff come a few times a week.
Wi-fi is very fast.
I feel the guest room is well ventilated with a window.
The subway station and a mall (small) are within 5 minutes walking distance.
If you want to buy daily necessities, there is a small Walmart nearby (about 5 minutes walk. There is also another mall and a large Wal-Mart 15 minutes away. (On the other hand, it takes about 10 minutes to walk to a popular park in the center of Coyoacan. (There seems to be a bus service there.)
In the kitchen, host provided space for guests to put things such as condiments, etc., as well as a refrigerator.
The building is surrounded by residential area and it is dark at night, but I heard it is safe.
Cons:
The window of the rooms face to buildings, so there is less sunlight generally. However, the rooms are not too dark.
Many of the drawers of chests are broken, are not usable.
The location is in a residential area, so there are no good local restaurants in the immediate vicinity.
The air quality is a bit poor due to the proximity to a major road.
