Ok so let’s start with the positives. The neighbourhood of La Contesa is a bohemian, exciting place to stay for a few days. Fantastic restaurants and bars, lovely to take an evening stroll and a central location to explore the rest of CDMX. Alex and May were extremely vigilant with their communication and even let us leave our bags past the check out time even though the timing was tight with another guest arriving, which was much appreciated. However there is a draw back, which I’m surprised wasn’t mentioned much in other reviews or by the hosts themselves in enough detail. We stayed Thursday to Sunday. The noise from adjacent bars and from the street on Thursday and Friday was fairly extensive, but little enough to manage some broken sleep. Saturday night was a different story. We were very tired after a long day of sight seeing and tried to get to bed early to sleep before the noise started. However, this was found to be completely impossible as the bar next door was playing loud music which played intermittently between the shrieks and screens of party-goers. This continued until around 3.30am. It’s not an exaggeration to say that it felt like we were actually in the club itself. So we left the city feeling like we hadn’t slept very much at all. I’m sure the flat is a great place to stay during the quiet week nights but think twice before booking over the weekend.
