This review is for the entire building that Mr. W operates at 121 Ciudad de Mexico at Parque Mexico. I stayed in one of the apartments in the building and it was a disastrous experience. Let me explain.
The noise level coming from the party and club next door throughout the night is one of the most disturbing experiences I have ever had to endure. I was up until 6 a.m. in the morning because the music was thumping in my bedroom till the morning. Mr. W does not disclose this to you ahead of time and then when you do say something they simply tell you that the noise is not their fault (they fail to understand that they should tell you ahead of time about this disturbing noise so you can make a choice of whether you want to deal with that kind of noise).
They also do not accurately showcase pictures of their "backyard" which is facing a building wall. They only show pictures from the side view of the balcony. Again, this is very misleading, because when you enter one of their apartment facing the back, you are faced with only a wall. I call it the prison wall because it looks like a prison.
The apartments inside look quite nice and are well decorated, but suffer from heating problems and very limited hot water. The hot water coming from the shower runs out after 60 to 90 seconds so you better take your hot shower fast. There is also no heating in these apartments, and it gets cold. I believe they will offer to provide a space heater if you request it.
On the positive side, the building is in one of the best areas in the city, the building is quite nice itself and the apartments are clear and well appointed. There is a nice rooftop deck area. The beds are also pretty comfortable. the place is also very clean.
Truthfully, I would never rent from these guys again. I had a terrible experience. The noise was so disturbing that it many days of my trip because I had no sleep. Furthermore, MR. W and their team are deceptive. They don't seem to understand that it is their duty to inform people ahead of time about these noise issues, and the truth about the views from the "backyard". They would rather paint a positive picture ahead of time, and then dismiss you when you see the reality of the situation you are now in once it is too late. Most people dont have the energy to complain, but i was so disturbed I felt compelled to write this and leave online review about my experience.
Many of their reviews have complaints about this noise, but keep in mind they have 64 apartments in Mexico city so the complaints are spread across many of their apartments so you won't see all the complaints in one place. Rest assured they are there. About 20 or 30 of their apartments are in this same building I stayed in, and many of the apartments (particularly the ones in the back) suffer from this extreme noise disturbance.
I almost forgot, you can also hear every noise coming from the hallways. There is virtually no sound proofing and if you are on the couch you can hear every single sound and word coming from he hallway. This includes other guests in the hall, music being played, and the cleaning lady's every peep, etc....
Overall, if you don't care about extreme noise, or any kind of view (the apartments in the back facing the prison wall), then this place is for you. The location is amazing and the park across the street is awesome.
Anyway, I can't stand the way these guys do business, particularly their non disclosure about all of these issues I mentioned in their Air BnB profile. I can imagine decent people visiting the city for the 1st time having to deal with this noise while trying to sleep at night (the party noise next door), or simply the noise while sitting on the couch coming from the hallway, or the shitty view in the back (the prison wall). You will simply have to take my word for it....stay away if you can help it ! Don't fall for the pretty looking apartments, you will regret it, particularly if you are staying there on Thursday, Friday or Saturday nights (the big party nights).
Anyway, hope you will enjoy Mexico.
