Alex’s apartment is in a great location close to the best restaurants and cafes Mexico City has to offer. Check-in was easy and Alex and Laura were very responsive and helpful. There’s even a laundry machine up one floor with detergent which was handy.
However, the photos in the listing don’t match the actual apartment. The colorful walls are now beige, and furniture swapped out for random pieces. The mattress is a double, not a queen, and overall the space is a bit worse for the wear. I also woke up with a row of mosquito bites across my forehead and the included spray didn’t keep them away. There are a couple fans which kept the apartment pretty cool but the one has a broken switch so is either full-blast or off.
While I wasn’t expecting luxury, attention to detail would go a long way in making this a better stay. It felt like I was crashing at a college student’s place. Some care and a deep clean would make this a standout Airbnb.
