We are very perplexed about how the other guest rated this AirBnb property as 5 stars? Take into consideration that we wrote this rating after the first night. We are from a very large global city and have traveled extensively around the World.
The good…
Location, location, location
Very central location near public transportation
Walking distance to everything in Polanco
Very fast internet speed
Very secure building
Security personnel very customer friendly and pleasant
Newer kitchen appliances
The Bad
Location is on a very busy street with plenty street noise
Owners did not disclose construction was occurring during time of our visit
Minimal artwork-not aesthetically pleasing
Old worn-out inexpensive furniture
Bare walls no artwork
Minimal kitchenware for long term stay
Broken items throughout the unit
Very awkward layout and floorplan for the unit
“One Butt” Kitchen
Owner did not disclose that rooftop deck was under construction
Bed mattresses are just OK…inexpensive pillows
Near railroad with trains and blaring sounds
The house is very stuffy so you have to keep the terrace doors open and this makes you subject to all the outside noise…train horns blaring, sound of traffic, street sounds and noises, etc., etc., etc.
There is little to no airflow in the unit and is hot and stuffy and has no air conditioner
The Opportunity
Owners need to be truthful and forthcoming
Better design space
Hangers needed in the closets
Need wash clothes and face towels-I am so happy we brought out own
Minimal effort in design outside of 3-5 day stay
Not designed for entertainment or workspace
Limited electrical outlets and their placement throughout the unit are very inconvenient
The place really needs some plants
No functional patio furniture on the terrace
