We spent Oct and Nov in Mexico City and stayed at 6 different Airbnb’s in that time, so we had certain expectations based on our very recent CDMX experiences. These places were all around the same price point too. Here is our take / comparison:
Pros: the best rooftop terrace in Mexico City! The perfect location with lots of bars, cafes, and markets within walking distance. And the host is super nice and friendly, and let us borrow some pots and pans and cooking utensils too.
Cons: now that we got the good out of the way, time for the bad. The condo’s WiFi was unusable most of the day and night; talked to the host about this and she said “sorry there’s nothing I can do.” The bugs—so many bugs, dead and alive! The kitchen was covered in dead bugs and the ceilings and walls had all kinds of splatted bugs on them. Ants coming out of the bathroom drains were annoying, but the mosquitoes were the worst. There’s a giant gap in the sliding glass door in the living room, and the bedroom window does not close at all, so there was no escaping the swarms of mosquitoes. The bed is super hard and not comfortable at all, and all the furniture and decor (including the 10” tv) desperately needed replaced and updated.
Verdict: we loved the home’s terrace and would love to stay here again if the place received a much needed update and had issues such as the windows and WiFi fixed.
