I really prefer staying in this building when I am in CDMX. It is very secure, and most Airbnb apartments face the courtyard, at least partially and therefor it is pretty quiet.
Not this apartment. It is on a street side and if you want tamales or mole dulce in the middle of the night there is a guy with a loudspeaker that’s going to let you know he has it for sale. Then around 8 am the street organ starts.
I sent a message to the host to let him know that i was surprised how noisy it was and was told that it is in the middle of centro histórico “what else did I expect.” I explained that I usually stay in this building and it is normally very quiet and he replied with “well it’s a third world country what do you expect?!” (Mexico is actually not a low income country, it is very industrialized that’s why it is so noisy in the city!)
Anyway otherwise it was, fine. No clean water was provided (not necessary but always nice when it happens). The host was short and unfriendly. He showed up late for checkin and sent his staff early for checkout.
Not the worst option, but I wouldn’t stay here again.
