TLDR; the apartment was nice and I'm sure some of the issues I encountered probably won't happen with the next person who stays there. However, I did find the host to be a bit dishonest and I wouldn't stay here again.
The good:
Apartment looks exactly like pictures
Bed was comfortable
Towels were super soft
There was complimentary wine and a bottle of water
The bad:
Construction non stop and I’m working from home so you can imagine how awful it was. My entire stay, 9am to 6pm, there was construction downstairs so loud that it would shake the walls. I brought this up to the host, who basically told me “oh well”. I get that there isn’t much he can do about it, but being honest about whether your Airbnb guest is moving into a war zone is an ethical thing to do. There is also a barking dog who hangs in the hallways as they continue to do construction. It would not stop barking. I found myself trying to spend as little time at this apartment as possible.
The apartment wasn’t really suited for more than 1 person. There weren’t any extra blankets or pillows or sheets for the pullout “bed”, so I had to request. Mexico city gets really cold at night, and there was no heater here, so I had to request this as well. The listing claimed there were hangers, but there were only 4. It wasn’t really suited for a long term stay.
I was the first person to stay in this Airbnb, and it was newly built/renovated, so there were a lot of issues that hadn’t been checked thoroughly. For instance, the shower would switch from freezing cold to burning hot, with no in between. The kitchen sink would not get hot water at all. Someone came to check it out, but the first few days sucked. The soap dispenser in the bathroom didn’t function.
The ugly:
I felt as though the Airbnb host, Yaniv, was not an honest person. The reviews on this listing are not real, since I was the first person to actually stay there. He is running an Airbnb business instead of actually caring for the specific homes -- in the future I’d choose to stay with a host who actually cares about the home and guests instead of just running a cash cow.
