My partner and I stayed at this location for three months. Although there were things here and there, it ended up being a good spot for us. First of all, the location worked out for us. We do prefer Roma Norte and Condesa but we really wanted a place with a gym. Which those neighborhoods don't have. So we felt close enough the neighborhoods we liked but with the modern building advantages of a gym and pool etc.
The apartment itself feels like it was designed for Airbnb short stays. There were issues with the shades not working and the fridge not working a couple times and once communicated they sent a handyman to fix these. But the fixes felt like temporary fixes (as the shades weren't fully fixed and the fridge stopped working soon after again). Things were coming off as well and falling apart. One cupboard stopped closing (had to be fixed), the door for the washer/dryer was coming out from the wall (had to be fixed). A lot of little things that led me to believe that the apartment is not really for long term stays.
Having had to throw out a lot of good food because of the fridge not working twice, the hosts were nice enough to at least reimburse what was lost. But I personally felt bad having to throw so much food away (as I dislike waste).
The hosts were also kind enough to offer us three free apartment cleanings. We loved that gesture! <3
The mattresses in both rooms are very different, one of them is pretty hard (which we ended up using because we like hard mattresses) and the other one is very soft. No middle ground there :) They're also both a bit in the shorter end (which is common to find in Mexico). And one of the bedrooms (the one with the very firm mattress) doesn't have a window which is great if you want to sleep in full darkness.
There is a lot of space for clothes and for storage. Which we enjoyed having. We wished there were more hangers but we know we were there for three months so most people probably wouldn't be using as many as we did. We ended up buying more.
The kitchen was well equipped. Although small, we were able to cook a lot. I wish there were more Tupperware (there was just one) but we made due. Also, a lot of the dishes were low quality (microwavable-safe plastic). But we didn't mind much. Loved the cocktail glasses, shot glasses, and wine glasses!
The living room was comfortable enough, the white fake leather couches needed to be cleaned every now and then because Mexico City is so polluted that when you leave the window open they get a bit dirty. But they were fine. The TV, although smart, is actually not too smart :) It was impossible to use. But we had a google chromecast and an amazon firestick that we used (instead of the TV). The lighting is very white and bright, we wish there were dimmers. But we brought some nice mood lights with us to help with that.
The bathroom was the space in the apartment that needed the most love. The lighting wasn't great, and there is no light in the nook by the sink, so it's a bit dark and hard to see yourself when applying makeup. Also, one of the biggest things was that there was only one hook for a shower towel and one for the hand washing sink. I wish there were more hooks or at least one more rack. I ended up buying a tiny rack that I put on the washer/dryer door (but still felt too small for the towels). We would have to jump up and try to make the towels go over the shower door to dry.
While we were there, both me and my partner were working remotely (so in zoom meetings all day), and the internet wasn't working well enough for us. So much so that we had to go downstairs by the pool area (there's are spaces you can reserve to work at). But then we couldn't stay in that area all day, the people who work there kept on moving us from room to room. And even downstairs, the internet wasn't what we're used to. I should say though that we're in meetings and watching videos and downloading and uploading files etc.
We brought this up with the hosts and they did what they could to try to get faster internet speed. But it wasn't until the week we were leaving that they were able to come and upgrade it (everything in Mexico takes longer! :) ) But hopefully they will have upped the internet speed for the next people staying there.
The last thing I want to bring up was Val, she was who we were in communication with. She made our stay so much better. Just her energy and how sweet she is. We felt good knowing that Val was helping us out.
So all in all, some hiccups here and there but it worked out.
