I booked this Airbnb after reaching out to Gerardo and asking if the wifi was good + the place was quiet. He confirmed and so i quickly booked. My overall rating is that it was actually quite noisy and not worth the price.
Pros:
- super clean
- secure apt building
- laundry + detergent provided
- full kitchen
- comfy bed
- plants were a nice touch
- right next to Roma Norte - a bit of a walk, but nice to do when exploring the city
- good water pressure + enough hot water for 15 mins
- shampoo provided
- gym - i used once and had a 1 hour limit per day. Kind of sketch/unstable equipment, but it did the job
Cons:
- almost no cellular data in the apt - had to rely on wifi the entire time, and texts didn’t always come through
- super loud - anytime someone used the elevator it sounded like metal banging. It woke me up every morning around 6/7 am and continues throughout the day. There are also kids playing in the courtyard which echoed a ton, and the one time i actually had a client meeting there was an incredibly loud lawn mower or machine being run for an hour straight. There is also a little street noise loud people/music on the weekends. Recommend bringing earplugs if you are sensitive to noises!
- this is a ground floor apartment which is great, but not when everyone can see into the apartment when you open the shades on the only window. I had the shades down most of the time for privacy
- the apartment itself is pretty cold, but an extra blanket is provided
