I first wanted to say that communication with the host was amazing. They were quick to respond and organize checkin/out. However, I am docking stars for the following reasons:
- the location is not great, its somewhat close to a subway station (~15mins) and close-ish to Polanco. The neighborhood is run down with garbage along the road. Since there are no restaurants or things to do around it, it gets very dead quite early and we didn't feel very comfortable walking later in the evening back to the unit.
- There are dogs constantly barking, we didn't spend much time in the unit as we were exploring the city most of the day but when we got home for dinner there were dogs barking for almost the whole night
- The stairs up to the unit are quite dangerous, there are no handrails, and its quite narrow, I do not recommend it if you have any mobility issues
- We were really excited about the balcony but it looks into the courtyard with a view of the neighbor's crumbling buildings so we didn't really sit out there as much as we thought we would.
All in all, if you are looking for an inexpensive place to stay and just using it as your base to explore CDMX I recommend, if you're looking for a quiet, relaxing place this is not the unit for you
