Location is fantastic – best location in Mexico City just steps from Park Mexico, many wonderful restaurants and close to shopping. Walkable everywhere of interest in Condesa and beyond. Building maintenance and security are the nicest people. Rental management company are very nice, reply quickly and is very responsive.
The objective of guests’ review is to inform fellow travelers what is the REAL state of the described / photographed / promoted property. With great pain I am committed to do so honestly and objectively. I apologize in advance to the management company, and hope this review will help them get this property owner to help them bring it to par with what it deserves to be.
The listing description says “Renovated apartment” and goes on to state… “We introduce you to our apartment with a contemporary design, modern furniture. Big spaces, great illumination.” The two statements are simply untrue. Please read on for details.
Fellow travelers should know that this apartment is in poor shape. The kitchen is so old, it is non-functional and non-sanitary. Laminated Formica (yes, Formica!) countertop is peeling off the plywood letting bacteria fester between the layers, sink faucets are vibrating when turned on. Kitchen is sparsely equipped with only four dining plates, four plastic plates and four place-settings… we needed to buy our own glasses, cutting board and knives. There is amazing number of closets – but none of the closet doors work and need to be forced to be used. King bed in one bedroom is actually two twins put together – not conducive to cuddling. Internet package is probably the lowest rung – which places the internet at “maybe working” – needed to call several times during stay. Bathroom sink is cracked as it the countertop. Hot water is designed for single use only so if your wife showers (in low pressure) – you cannot shave nor do dishes… The list goes on and on.
We are SuperHosts and understand the important constructive feedback. We provided a detailed list to the management company during our two-month stay. Our bottom-line advice to travelers considering this apartment: If pictures don’t show a totally remodeled kitchen, that means none of the above was repaired/fixed/updated and we would urge to look elsewhere.
