I found Antonio to be dishonest and a poor communicator. He advertised his apartment as the entire place and after I made the reservation he notified me that a friend was “staying” in the rooftop room, but assured me that she would be out in two days. He didn’t tell me that she had a dog in the apartment which would have been a deal breaker since I work remote. The first day his friend left the apartment and left the dog out and it would bark anytime I was speaking on the phone. The was urinating in the common bathroom on the ground floor and his friend did not clean it until she left. She also didn’t leave the day she was supposed to and Antonio had no idea what her status was. When she did leave, she left all of her stuff all over the upper bedroom and sofa room. She was living at his place, not just staying there and because of this the upper rooms were completely different than advertised.
All of this caused me to have to change my plans at the last minute on my final Saturday night in Mexico City. It was a major waste of time and energy. Antonio's communication was reactive, not proactive. He should have been proactively reaching out to me with updates and instead only responded to me when I reached out to him. He didn’t have cleaning scheduled to correspond with his friend’s departure and only offered to schedule cleaning after I told him the place was a mess and that I was leaving.
Antonio has a video camera on the interior of the home that is not advertised. The apartment is also located next to several dance clubs that play music until the early hours of the morning.
