I struggle to leave anything but a positive review but do feel the need to be fully transparent about this Airbnb. I stayed in Mexico City for 2.5 months in 5 different airbnbs and this was by far the worst unit I stayed in.
The good:
-The location is amazing
-The onsite staff is so helpful and kind
The Bad:
-The accommodations in the unit I originally stayed in were so bad that I asked to move to another unit before even making it a full day so I’ve had the opportunity to experience 2 properties at this location and they were both in poor condition
-The kitchens in both units were so disappointing and made me so uncomfortable that I was unable to cook for the 3 weeks I stayed at this place. The floors are stained and dirty, there’s no lid on the trash so if you throw away anything related to food you’ll get gnats immediately. The kitchen is huge but for some reason the second unit only had a mini fridge and I found it gross that they keep the broom and mop out in the open in the kitchen. A bit gross to look at while you are preparing food.
-I understand the building is old, I’ve lived in old apartments my whole life, but the units I stayed in were in poor condition.
-both units did not look like the pictures. There were things missing like a dresser in the first unit and a completely different table in the second which is was not what I was expecting. There are also no plants inside as indicated by the pictures, which definitely would have livened up the place
-the wifi went out multiple times and while they offered me access to their coworking space, I paid as much as I did to be able to work from the comfort of the unit that was my home at the time. It was incredibly difficult to participate in any virtual meetings because the strength of the wifi was so weak. Working here was incredibly inefficient.
-This is not the property managers fault but there is construction going on across the street. Noise doesn’t bother me but something to be aware of
With the most minimal effort, both of these units could be beautiful and more comfortable but unfortunately I found this place to be an overpriced disappointment. If you have other places you are considering, I highly suggest you book there instead.
