Positives -
- Great value for money
- You are a 15 min walk in to the heart of Condesa and a 40 min walk into the heart of Roma Norte
- Escandon is clearly gentrifying but still has a neighborhood feel
- There are food stands on the weekends
- Beds are comfortable
- Kitchen has all the basics
- Owner is very sweet
- Noise is not bad at all if you close the windows because you are in the back of the building
Things to be aware of:
- Bathroom sink is one which automatically stops the water (i.e. you push on a button and the water flows for 5 seconds and then you need to push on the button again)
- Shower water pressure is mediocre (I stayed for 4 weeks and it was fine, but the water pressure does leave you wanting more)
- The building is very old and the hallways are "dingy"
- The apartment gets decent natural light but for the place to be truly bright, you need to turn on the lights during the day
