What I liked the most about this place is the location; it's unbeatable as the apartment is in the middle of one of the trendiest streets in Mexico City but I do have some comments about my experience.
Apartment and building:
- Both the apartment and the building are a little bit old and I experienced some inconveniences during my stay, for example, the elevator was a hit and miss as it would suddenly stop working, which is inconvenient as the apartment is in the 4th floor and I needed to use the stairs instead. This was okay for me but I was traveling with a senior citizen who had a more challenging time going up and down the stairs.
- In the apartment I also found some broken appliances that are basic: there's a fridge that doesn't work, the first night the water heater wasn't working and there were no matches nor a lighter to turn it on available in the apartment and there was also an iron that wouldn't turn on. I would've expected the host to inspect these appliances before our check-in but I think the focus is on cleaning the place only. I was also surprised these appliances were not working because there's a list of appliances taped to the kitchen wall that are supposed to be a reference for guests to be aware of what's available in the apartment but these I list and others were not working nor available (like drinking water and some of the things depicted that are supposed to be in the cupboard) so the list is not up to date and the host hasn't noticed.
Communication with host and check-in:
- My check-in experience wasn't the best either as the host sent me an incorrect address by mistake and didn't share detailed instructions; I knew I was going to check-in myself but I didn't know there was a security officer in the lobby of the apartment that I needed to talk to first to get access to the building and with whom I had to frequently interact with in order to get access to the garage or the bullding when going in and out of it. Host didn't respond immediately either, which is understandable, but some responses came when I had already sorted things out on my own or moved on.
All in all, I do recommend the apartment and I enjoyed my stay but I think there are some improvements to the experience that need to be made for it to be an excellent one.
