This AirBnB was a very mixed experience.
The good: It's at a good location, near a lot of restaurants in Roma Norte at the end of Avenida Cuauhtémoc and has a very nice view from the window. The high-speed internet worked fine for our purposes of two people working on it simultaneously, using video chats, etc. Gerardo was a great host (his attentiveness was one of the best aspect of the apartment) and responded to several problems with the apartment very promptly and answered messages quickly. The building feels very secure with 24-hour security downstairs. The price was good compared with other options that we considered.
The bad: Some people have described the noise as not being an issue. For us, it was the biggest issue. The apartment is on the third floor directly on Avenida Cuauhtémoc, with noise from motorbike motors, sirens and even just regular conversation from the street audible at all hours of the day. We needed to sleep with ear plugs. The blinds don't work well to keep the sun out in the morning, so we also slept with eye masks. Additionally, the walls and floors are very thin, and more than once we called security to ask them to tell other apartments above, below or next to us to lower their noise at 12am or 1am. The apartment directly overhead makes an incredible amount of noise. it sounds like a bowling alley with lots of howling noises. We called security and they advised us that there's an autistic person who lives upstairs. I feel for the individual and the family, but the impact on this AirBnB is lots of noise from upstairs seemingly at all hours of the day.
We also had some issues with the apartment condition that were a hassle. When we came to check into the apartment, the handles on one of the windows was broken, and the hot water heater wasn't consistently working. We wrote to Gerardo, who responded quickly and had someone come the next day to fix it, and he even sent us a six-pack of beer to make up for it, but it was still a hassle. The apartment is also quite small. Though some of the photos make it look like a separate one bedroom, it's a small studio.
We would definitely need to take all of this into account if staying here again.
