If you are looking for a place to sleep, relatively close to metro/metrobus and wonderful sights and are not on a budget then book this place….If NOT, keep reading!!!
Location is just okay, between Metro stations, easy 20 minute walk to Condesa and other places to see. Arrival and departure is relatively easy. Safe building but very noisy on a busy street.
The pictures on the ad do not represent well this apartment…. It does not feel lived in at all. White dirty-looking walls, old sofas with worn throw pillows with living room blinds that CANNOT be closed, and with mainly ceiling lights, there is no privacy at all! The kitchen is small and also a bit worn out. What was in the kitchen was a very soiled and old sponge and 1 already-dirty kitchen towel to dry the very limited dish-pan collection.
Don’t get me wrong, some would say just stay home…..over the last 20 years we have mainly traveled by renting apartements and what we love about this is staying in someone’s home, having the BASIC necessities, that WAS the objective of all these sites (AirBnB, VRBO, Homeaway).
SUPERHOST for me means I’ve opened my home or at least tried my best so that the travelers feel at home, have the basics so that the traveler does not need to quickly go out and get stuff for their stay (S&P, oil, dish soap, toilet paper)
NO dish soap, 1 dish towel, a ‘welcome package’ of 2 small soap + 2 rolls of toilet paper is all that was included.
The rooms are small will 1 double and 2 singles. We stayed in the back room as the front room gives onto the busy noisy street. Old but clean sheets with 1 blanket…needs a bedspread at least. Ventilator was used for ‘white noise’.
We were with friends that had their own AirBnB 200m away….wow different feel and 100$CDN less for the same stay….so this place is overpriced for what you get.
What made this a wonderful vacation was NOT this place but our friends, the city and I guess that’s all you need!
