Good: The location of this place was perfect for us to explore Norte and Condessa neighborhoods nearby. There are a few grocery stores, marts, restaurants, parks, cafes within walking distance. Having a comfy bed, washing machine (buy your own detergent tho), and a much nicer coffee maker than other Airbnbs made this place a good value in our minds.
Bad and Ugly: The noise from the street outside and constant honking made for a few sleepless nights EVEN with ear plugs. Then there were noisy neighbors upstairs walking in heels and creaky kitchen ceiling as well. The floor boards leading to the bathroom and outside the front door are rotting, collapsing and have very discernible holes. We hope the host fixes this ASAP. The kitchen has a very noisy drain underneath the metal door in the ground, which sounds like it drains the entire building.Finally, the shower is only hot at night, but is lukewarm for morning showers, fyi. This is a 100 y.o. building, but not our cup of tea.
