My extended family and I stayed a week in this apartment. The good points are: The location – in the heart of Condessa on a relatively quiet street. The building itself is also quiet. The space was spotless although the windows were not. Almost all rooms are large and effort was made to decorate them. Unfortunately, the same effort was not applied to other aspects of our stay. Critical items were overlooked.
The most troublesome were the beds. All four were box springs with a layer of foam cover. For three of them, this foam was not sufficient to provide comfort. Two had a ¼ inch layer which allowed the springs to protrude. One had a second thin layer which did not fully cover the bed, forcing one person to an awkward position. Additionally, any movement by one person created a disturbance for the second. My husband spent the first night on the couch in the living room rather than the discomfort of the bed. Additional foam was provided the next day.
As noted by others the three large bedroom are located in the back and are quiet. The bedroom off the living areas is subject to some noise and light from the street. The black out curtain for this room lacked 3 feet (one meter) of coverage so that the street light shone brightly into the space.
This time of year is warm and fans were helpful in the bedrooms. Three were provided – one was broken. Additional fans were provided the next day.
The large kitchen was mostly well equipped and stocked with cooking basics and drinking water. There were however, only two forks! (later more were provided) Strangely enough, construction materials were stacked in one corner and two clothes washers and one dryer were in the kitchen. A third washer was stored in one of the bathrooms.
The apartment has a lot of deferred maintenance. For example, in the large bathroom the faucet was poorly attached to the sink, the sliding door to the shower was not sliding and the toilet paper holder was broken off.
Keys: Weeks earlier I had requested three sets of keys. Only two were provided. Getting additional key as well as the other items mentioned involved a lot of inaccurate communication with our host and disruption to our plans. For a “super host” I found this disappointing.
With a change in the beds and some attention to detail, this could be a lovely place to stay. As it is, I could not recommend it.
