The apartment felt safe, had good water pressure, and is in a cool neighborhood. It also had a very comfy master bed.
Unfortunately, I had to request a cancel after the first night. The apartment has areas open to the elements and very drafty. It was freezing cold (no heat) and very loud. The floors are a paper thin laminate and I could not sleep at all due to the overhead traffic. You can hear every drawer, step, and even make out the conversations above. It's not the neighbor's fault, but this is not a vacation space.
Eva agreed to cancel my trip the next day and I moved to an amazing Airbnb.
Unfortunately, sleeping in a cold loud apartment, my child had an accident. I knew this was a possibility, so I protected the mattress beforehand just in case. There is no washer and dryer on premise, so I had to leave the linen in a pile. I cleaned everything perfectly (we had only been there briefly) took a video in case of retaliation for the cancel and moved to beautiful spot in Condessa for the same price but with washer/dryer, heat, in a building appropriate for a family of vacationers.
She later claimed that we destroyed the mattress that was completely covered with an impermeable plastic but interestingly wanted only $40 USD. I have no issues paying a fair price for the load of laundry but it was clear that this was more about the mid-trip cancellation.
The reviewers that mentioned sleeping with noise-canceling headphones did not fairly describe the noise level in the apartment.
Again, it was cute, although bare-bones (think your first apartment at 18), and had really good water pressure. This is just not an appropriate apartment for an Airbnb.
