Pros:
- Amazing location in a beautiful plaza with fountains
- Quick and easy check in
- Responsive host
- Beautiful apartment with lots of light
Cons:
- Not a king bed
- Check in wasn't "self check in", I had to talk to a security guard (it was easy enough with basic Spanish, but just wanted to note that it is different in the listing)
- The wifi in the listing is wrong and it took me almost an hour to realize that there was a placard in the dining room with the correct wifi
- The apartment is not very soundproof from the outside, so this made the location near the plaza both a pro and con. It was pretty loud during a Saturday afternoon. The apartment is also echo-y because there are no rugs. It was decently quiet at night, however, so I was able to sleep well.
- More expensive than most four star hotels in CDMX
For vacationing travelers, the location is perhaps worth the higher price, it's in a gorgeous neighborhood with lots of bars and restaurants nearby. The photos are beautiful, but the apartment is definitely a little older with creaky floors and older finishes. Very similar to an older San Francisco Victorian. I paid more for one night than I did a night at my four star business hotel close to Chapultepec Park, so it was not very price friendly for the types of amenities I received compared to that hotel. Soap and shampoo were Pantene Pro V, etc.
Overall, I was excited to stay at my first AirBnB plus, but was a little underwhelmed by the place for the price I paid for one night (about $200). I tacked this on to the end of a week long business trip.
