The home itself is beautiful! Instagram worthy for sure.
I hardly ever leave anything but 5 star reviews but I wouldn’t feel right doing it for this Airbnb.
First, it has NOTHING to do with the host! Alina was attentive, helpful and very responsive.
A few things that bothered me:
• Everything always felt wet. It was hard to fall asleep because the sheets and blankets were wet. It was from humidity but it made it SO uncomfortable. It was hard to sleep because we felt cold and wet. Luckily we found a couple of space heaters. Heating the room helped combat the discomfort of that constant feeling of being wet.
• There were two space heaters in a closet in one of the rooms. One worked very well, but the other one shot sparks EVERYWHERE when I tried to plug it in! I tested it in another outlet in case the one I used was the issue, but it happened again with a different outlet as well.
• Almost no hot water. Mexico City will get chilly a few months out of the year and a nice way to take the chill off is with a warm bath or a hot shower. The master bedroom had a tub/shower combo. The tub didn’t function and the shower only had good water pressure with freezing water. If you wanted hot water it would barely dribble out. It took 5+ minutes for the water to heat up and then it was either scalding drops of water or freezing water shooting at you.
• There was no drinking water available in the apartment. Luckily there is a small convenience store next to the apartment building’s entrance.
Like I said, the place is beautiful but it is fairly expensive for the overall value. Not worth it with the aforementioned issues, but if they are resolved, it would be a great option!
