Pros
There was a nice view. The area and neighborhood were safe and great. This accommodation is within walking distance to everything we needed. There were plenty of vegan options around which my traveling companion and I needed. El Bosque de Chapultepec is close and we took advantage of that.
David was responsive and attentive to any issues we had. We needed more toilet paper and trash bags and they were provided. The staff on site were nice and helpful. Accessing and returning the key was easy.
There is a conversational, large parrot on a nearby rooftop that added a lot of charm. Might be annoying to some but I thought it was amusing for this short stay.
Cons
The sewage smell after a day of staying there started to smell terrible. Had to close the bathroom door to keep the smell from entering the bedroom and keep the bathroom window open but this did little to control the smell.
First I want to acknowledge that it is difficult to know definitively where bed bugs originate. After my first night there I saw a blood stain on the bed and the same occurred after the second night but I still didn’t think anything of it. On the third morning I saw a live bedbug. I conducted a search for more and only up seeing the one live one and a couple ones that were not alive. I notified the host immediately and he took immediate action to arrange for the fumigation of the space. I however no longer felt comfortable and this ultimately led us to leaving our accommodation a day early. I will say the host responded immediately to this concern however obtaining a refund was difficult and not an enjoyable experience.
