OVERALL - I’m a seasoned Airbnb host and guest. I stayed here for two weeks for work and absolutely loved this place. I would definitely stay here again.
THE LOCATION: the apartment is one block away from Avenida Amsterdam, which laps around Parque México. I ran around it or walked it almost every morning I was in town. There’s a beautiful coffee shop below the building and well known restaurants within walking distance (approximately 5 minutes or less). The area is trendy and clean, comfortable and safe.
THE APARTMENT: the large windows let in lots of natural light throughout the apartment. The furniture is a little worn but clean and cute.
THE BEDS in both rooms were very comfortable. The sheets and blankets were clean and warm. The pillows were adequate. The bedrooms had plenty of closet space to store all of my things.
THE BATHROOM could use a new shower head but the water pressure was good. I’m 6’4 and really had to bend down to see myself in the bathroom and bedroom mirrors.
THE KITCHEN has a small stove and very basic cookware. I used the microwave and the pans to reheat left overs from all of the nearby restaurants. Everything was cleaned and, because I was here for a while, Alex had a maid stop by once during my stay to clean the unit for me at no additional cost.
THE AMENITIES:
THE LAUNDRY ROOM upstairs is very functional and clean. I used it a few times throughout my stay. Alex provided detergent and each room had laundry baskets.
THE TERRACE: Admittedly, I didn’t spend a lot of time here but you have access to beautiful views from above. I didn’t use the grill but it looked clean and functional.
THE WIFI: I loved everything but the wifi. It didn’t reach beyond the bedrooms. The router was located in the bedroom that had the king bed (or two twin beds). Signal was stronger there and reached into the second bedroom but the signal was unstable even in the bathroom, which was separated from the router by the second bedroom. I have at&t and had no cellular service anywhere that was more than three-ish feet away from the windows so you could easily catch me perched by the windows in the living room or in the bedrooms on any given day. This made working from home challenging, but doable. The was especially challenging because neither of the bedrooms had anything that could be comfortably used as a work station. The closet spaces have counter spaces but the cabinetry make it sitting there for more than an hour an ergonomic nightmare. I think the bedrooms could benefit from having a small desk with a chair. That would have completely made up for the weak wifi signal. Working on the bed was neither comfortable nor productive, but I managed.
