The title of this review is “you can do better.” Let’s start by saying it’s stylish, the location is superb, and the doorman is an excellent feature. We were able to do a load of laundry and for the most part sleep well at night. I personally like waking up to sunshine so I found the giant front window nice, but if that’s not your thing do not stay here.
Now let’s get to why you can do better. 1. There is no hot water. There just isn’t. The comments on other reviews saying it’s fixed are a lie. 2. The water filter on the fridge is broken leading to stocking up on plastic water bottles both bad for the environment and wallet. 3. Here’s our favorite. The back porch is a literal pigeon nest. You wake up to their loud noises. You go to bed to their loud noises. And I wish you luck looking at what must be years of pigeon poop covering the back deck without getting sick. I’ve never seen anything like it in my life. 4. They offer a fan and a space heater which is nice, I know AC is not the norm in Mexico City, but the fluctuating temperature of the apartment is crazy.
We did a lot of research on apartments and chose this one for the look and location and for those reasons were satisfied. But we know for a fact there’s better out there. So 3 stars aka 60% seems very fair. Hey...it’s above passing in college! Woulda been 4 without the bird issue.
