As someone who grew up in Mexico City and loves to come back to the Polanco area, we were eager to stay here!! We did have some things that we did not really love and were hard to get past!
1. Cleanliness definitely has been overlooked. I am not sure if it was a one time thing but there was some hair on the sheets and there was additionally a lot of trash on the floor, and it felt like it had not really been swept through.
2. The place is extremely hot. I know that growing up in the city, most places don’t have AC, but the giant windows really make it challenging so I would suggest maybe adding some AC units! They do have one fan that was kind of broken, however when we did ask for fans ULIV did bring us some which made it a bit more bereaved!
3. The shower is really hard to get to that lukewarm water temperature! It felt like there was no in between no matter how much we followed the instructions!
4. Some pillows were very used and flat! We ended up having to buy our own because it became complicated to get some good rest! I would suggest maybe bringing an extra pillow if you are able to!
5. In regards to the building, the elevator constantly would leave us stuck there and it also smelled like sewage inside! We did report it so hopefully it got fixed! Also an important thing to note is that EVERYONE who comes up to stay has to show an ID so be sure you have one with you as each person needs to show one! We were not prepared for this!
We do love the location and that’s what made it all bearable! Also the security is really sweet to have considering you never know in Mexico City! It was a great pro to have 24/7 security and someone to report things to in the building in case something went wrong! The space does have 3 bathrooms which was so nice! Do bring your own laundry detergent if you are planning on doing laundry! And bring lots of water to drink to stay hydrated!
