WARNING !!! Classic ‘Bait&Switch’
- I was not given the apartment I rented - and that was shown in the pictures.
- Loud music at night either from Bar below, or other AirBnB guests partying in building kept us awake.
- Dusty on arrival & not well stocked making it feel like a corporate apartment vs. home.
1. The apartment shown in the pictures has a lovely balcony with view of the city & neighborhood trees. Upon arrival the apartment we were given had a view of a cement wall, facing south with extremely hot sunshine pouring in making the balcony totally unusable and the apartment like an oven.
Interior layout and furnishings were nearly identical but because i was working from home/remotely this was VERY disappointing.
2. The entire building is AirBnB rentals.
Not certain if the late night music and singing/partying was from a bar below or from other renters (in which case the 24-hour doorman should have addressed the issue),
but this disrupted our sleep and proved extremely annoying.
3. Overall it felt like a corporate apartment. It was a bit dusty on arrival (although i give a pass on this given guests had just Checked out that morning and there’s only so much time to clean and prepare for the next guest. Bedrooms & bathrooms were very clean)...
However, many things were missing that would’ve made it feel like home including: a proper drip coffee maker, toaster, dish towels, broom for touching up during our stay, etc.
Little details like this were sadly overlooked.
Other things to note:
- building has NO elevator so it was four flights of stairs every time we were coming and going.
- Doorman cornered me and requested a tip adding he wouldn’t be working the day of our departure. Cheeky at best, inappropriate at worst.
- Location can’t be beat equidistant between Park España + Park Mexico.
- Fixtures + furnishings were very nice & comfortable.
