So this will be a mixed bag review. Airbnb started off with home owners renting out rooms or their personal homes. But these days it's a business, perfectly OK, where hosts have multiple places available. So it's a business and I would expect it to be run as a business and there is no need for guests to point out preexisting old lodging faults. Host should be doing regular spot checks on the state of their own places and fixing.
So the good of the place :
- Clau is very nice and helpful
- it's cozy and intimate
- walking distance to restaurants
- bicycles for rent close by
- wifi is decent
- apt is pleasantly decorated
The bad:
- bathroom is very small and toilet is so close to the wall you need to approach it sideways
- shower pan is wood slats which are worn, sag in places and underneath have seen some crawlers. Wooden slats do not belong in a shower
- hot water runs out within 2 mins
- the highest floor apt bedroom is next to where the pigeons roost and they make lots of noise morning and night, so sleep is very difficult
- Condesa is a mosquito paradise, for some reason they don't close the windows after cleaning so you need to check all the windows or you will be eaten alive
- continuing with mosquitoes, they have a pot plant with excess water that is perfect breeding ground for mosquitoes
