I stayed in this air bnb despite their being no reviews solely based on the excellent location. Here were my pros and cons.
Pros:
Excellent location, right across from one of my favorite Mexico City parks (Rio de Janiero)! Near Buna coffee, one of the best coffee roasters in CDMX! Bunch of cool shops and restaurants walking distance as well.
Private Rooftop
Price was low
Internet was fast enough to handle video calls for work
Water was hot for showers
Owner was flexible with checkout which was very convenient
Cons:
Very hot being on the top floor
If you struggle with stairs, look elsewhere, this place is up 4 flights. I quite enjoyed the exercise, but a con for some.
The only big window is the double door entrance , which has no screen. to stay cool I had to keep this open almost all the time. This let mosquitos in. One night I had about 10 mosquito bites.
Washer didn't work - landlord was nice enough to come try and fix but it still didn't work. wet clothes sat in the washer almost the whole day. I was able to figure out how to get it to drain so that I could dry my clothes.
Owner was late for check in, which annoyed me because it was a lockbox to enter - they could have easily messaged me the code sooner. I ended up waiting with my luggage about 30-45 minutes for them to message me the code.
Power went out for almost the whole last day I stayed there. This left me with no internet the entire last night, which I needed to work, and no power to charge my phone, which I depended on. Likely not the owner's fault, but still a huge inconvenience.
No Netflix or any streaming services
Rooftop could be safer, as the 'rail' was a rope hung up to guard the edges, but by no means sturdy. This didn't bother me much.
Overall I wouldn't stay here again, but it did have a lot of things I liked! Owner was very communicative and responsive throughout the stay.
