A very disappointing stay. We were 2 weeks without running water without offered proper compensation. A Water cut was ordered by the government for 5 days, but problems with the water pipes in the flat building and the boiler in the apartment made us being without any water for 2 weeks, no toilet, shower or any washing at all: Water was out (from the city) 31st of October to 4th November and was only reinstated in the flat on 13th November at 20:00 hrs. Asking for a compensation reimbursement resulted in a very angry reaction, accusations of trying to take advantage of the situation, etc.. In the end Michael offered us a mere 2 days of compensation (we haven’t see any of that yet) for all the discomfort we suffered. The truth is Michael acts as an intermediary for the owners, has no decision power and his commission was probably at stake.
Apart from the 2 weeks watercut without compensation, there was no hot water in the kitchen to wash the dishes and the mix of cold/hot water in the shower did not work well. The bedroom was in front and nearly at street level, so very noisy with street noises starting as early as 5 am.
The administration of the flat building has a very unpleasant and unfriendly attitude. No possibility of parking a bicycle, other than in a troublesome spot in the garage. I was accused of leaving the garage door open and there was a fine of a 1000 pesos, even after I returned the garage door key and left back to France, I was accused of leaving the door open. Fines (which we were not asked to pay) nevertheless appear to be totally arbitrary, no proof of guilt being offered (a con job in my view).
The only positive point was the good location of the apartment in Colonia Roma, but I will not come back and cannot recommend the flat to other visitors.
