I got to the Airbnb and there were seriously questionable stains on the couch, weird stains on one of the beds. I found it odd because they sent me pictures saying they had just cleaned it and in those pictures you could see the stains I was talking about…
All the dishes were dirty with crusty food..
In the listing it seemed like there were two full beds from the pictures they showed so to my surprise when I arrived and found one room with a bunk bed, which I was told was how it is in all the units. For me and my three guests it was pretty awkward, one of my friends ended up sleeping on the couch (after it was cleaned).
The sliding doors to the balcony didn’t lock and it made me feel really uneasy to leave my stuff alone as there was easy access to my room from the neighboring apartments. Both issues were resolved quickly which I really appreciated but it was a bit inconvenient to have people coming in for 3 days to fix different things I felt should’ve been revised prior to my stay as they were safety concerns and charges I don’t feel I should’ve been charged for like the cleaning fee considering the way the apartment was given to me.
The host went from being really apologetic and nice to being short with me which made me feel weird.
One of the receptionists Mayra was really nice, I really appreciated her kindness she showed me how to turn on the stove and was cool about any questions I had.
Ultimately my stay was cut short because I ended up getting COVID. The host was nice about that situation which I appreciated.
The location was nice, central to everything. The amenities were nice to have, washer and dryer in each unit is kind of rare in México.
It definitely felt like one of those get what you pay for situations as this is one of the more affordable airbnbs and the location is ideal. However it is quite expensive when considering the prices are in USD but to have the convenience of being able to have Airbnb back you up if anything happens is worth it if you’re not familiar, or have familiars in the area.
