An honest review: our experience at this airbnb was OK at best. Definitely did not live up to the expectations of their listing/other reviews.
Few things to note
-the unit looks great at first glance but pretty quickly after settling in you notice the significant wear and tear of the property. I suppose this makes sense for such a popular unit.
-the rugs are disgusting and the yarn material is constantly pilling, leaving your socks covered and creating small piles of dust everywhere
-we had an AC issue that took too long to repair
-the microwave was not working and even after messaging the host, there was no reply
-what is the point of having a washer/dryer and no detergent. We inquired about this but was ignored
-the unit lacks enough natural light. Not a big deal but just FYI it is very dark inside and the light fixtures do not make up for it
-the master bed room vs smaller room..size discrepancy is quite significant…again just FYI
-the pull out bed in the smaller room…sheets were covered w hair. Gross!
-master bathroom shower…water leaked thru the door onto the floor. Annoying to deal with
-the balconies made for an attractive point when searching for places to stay but in reality not that functional or desirable to use
-couch….completely destroyed from over use. This needs to be replaced ASAP. Completely sunken in in the middle and basically sitting on the metal parts of the fold out bed underneath
-street noise esp from the master is quite significant. Something to consider if you have kids.
Anyways, are any of these things deal breakers? Of course not. But with the plethora of options, all these small inconveniences made for a less than desirable experience.
Also the security guard “asked” us for a tip on our way out— FYI. I will say though that the security guard was the one major perk of this place that made us feel safe….not sure how necessary it is but it is a nice added feature.
For our next CDMX trip, will be looking for a better experience and not returning here.
