Pros:
-inside of the unit is very clean
-has all amenities you’d probably need
-the host responds fairly quickly
-host was flexible and agreed for me to shorten my stay because of the issues below.
-fast internet
Cons:
-fire alarm sound in the hallways and other units will not let you sleep at night. The host and building said they can’t do anything about it.
-train passes by at least twice everyday around 11am and it’s extremely loud.
-windows are not blocking any of the street noise and if you notice there are plenty of playgrounds right outside the building. In my one week stay there were multiple nights that people were playing in those playgrounds late until 2am and they were super loud. You won’t be able to sleep without an earbud.
-the security is somewhat bothersome because you have to check in and out twice every single time you want to enter the building. You won’t have your own pass. You need them for gym access too.
-the building is essentially still under construction and during my week ling stay only 1 of 3 elevators was available. Construction noise was common both in this building and from the building next door.
-while the listing say this apartment is in Polanco, it is not. It is located in Granada which is definitely not as nice as Polanco. You have to walk 25 minutes to get to the heart of Polanco.
