In order to accurately review this property we will review 3 different aspects.
1) Owner, Martha is very helpful and went out of her way to assist us with any question we may have had. Jorge is alway very helpful also and both spoke good English, so that was really nice, since they don't have to.
2) Location was fantastic. The apartment is located within two blocks of the zocalo, yet the property itself is very quiet street. Coyoacan has a small town feel yet it has a lots of restaurants and shops, vendors, and sights to see.
3) Property and apartment: Let us preference these next comments with the fact that this was our first true visit to Mexico. We, like a lot of United States citizens, have experienced Mexico in resort-style short stays. We booked a month with Martha's airbnb. After entering the property there are cars that are parked right next to the courtyard seating that was pictured in the ad. Also we like animals ( but) there is an overwhelming smell of animal urine when entering. Martha does try to keep up with the cleaning, but unfortunately one of the dogs are incontinent and it is an uphill battle. The apartment does not have a TV, that's on us we did not read the amenity list well enough. The apartment is damp and cold. There is no heat or air, which we did know, but just wasn't ready for how the property is built, it doesn't get direct sun. Bathroom widows has no glass and we did receive a few unwelcome visitors because of that. Oh by the way the bathroom is located in between the living room area and the bedroom and is raised, so the stepping up and down became a bit wearing. There are also a very few outlets so the result was plugging the coffee pot in the bathroom. Slow WIFI. If you have mobility issues this is not the apartment for you.
OK as we said we think we were just not prepared for this experience.
