This is a large spacious apartment that can sleep a large group, which can be challenging to find in Condesa & Roma - so on that front, this Airbnb succeeds in providing a place for groups who want to stay together.
Unfortunately, for our group - an extended family - it did not work out and we decided to leave the place after week 1 of a 2 week rental.
The Good:
- As I said, if you are a group that wants to stay together and are looking for a place that has 4 bedrooms, this is a rare find in CDMX.
- the large table in the living room is great for group dinners, which we did once and that was nice
What To Be Aware Of:
-one of the bedrooms is very small and stuffy, located on the back side of the apartment, it has its own bathroom but barely any airflow or light so whoever stays there might consider paying less or finding a way to cool down if it’s hot at night
-the beds are hard. Like, so hard several people in our party had back problems. Upon further investigation, it appears none of the mattresses are on box springs, just straight on wood so that would be part of the reason why
-entering and exiting the building was a lot of time and effort - multiple keys, multiple locks, none marked properly to know what key went where and even then the doors were left open by other tenants with frequency - security felt flimsy
-the neighborhood, Roma Sur, is not as happening as Roma Norte or Condesa, it’s not all the same
-kitchen amenities are lacking - though the table is great for a group dinner, cooking in the kitchen w the knives and etc they provide is a challenge. I know it’s not meant to the Cordon Bleu but they are charging luxury prices and so upgraded tools would have been appreciated
-for our group of 6, the value was not there. Having now stayed at multiple airbnbs in CDMX (during this trip and in previous trips), this place was highly priced for what it was. You can get a GREAT place in Condesa (elevator, AC, doorman, breakfast included) for under $200/night - for our group of 6, we would have been better off getting 3 Airbnbs near each other in a neighborhood that we would have preferred
