We booked this airbnb with Kari y Diego for October 21-30, around the time of Dia de Muertos. Overall it was a great experience. The hosts are very friendly and responsive, and provided us a list of places to eat and things to do after we booked.
Check in was super easy. We walked up to the door, put in our code and got the keys. The key got us into the building, and we walked up the 4 flights of stairs to our unit, which also had a keypad for added security. The whole time we were there felt safe and secure.
The unit itself was exactly as described. It is a beautiful art deco unit. All amenities we needed for our stay were there, including a small fridge, microwave, plates, cups, a Tv with streaming, and a fan. The hosts even put out fresh flowers for us before we arrived! The jet tub was a nice touch, but took a very long time to fill.
This unit is also very conveniently located. It's across the street from a 24hr taco place, and a 24hr pharmacy with an ATM. It is also down the street from a department store which has a lot of products a traveler needs. Getting Ubers to and from here is easy and quick, and fairly cheap.
A few small things could have been improved:
First, the bed is VERY firm. If you are not used to sleeping on a firm bed, then your sleep quality might suffer. Our first couple of nights were rough because of this.
Second, there is occasionally a sewer smell that comes from the bathroom. It was usually only late at night, and only happened every couple of days. We were not sure what caused it, but we bought a cheap air freshener from Walmart and that helped a lot.
Last is the street noise. This bnb is on a busy street. This comes with the advantage of being able to get around quickly and having a lot of great places nearby, but it can be a bit loud at times. Most nights we had no issues with noise, but some nights we heard traffic until very late. Also, drivers in Mexico City love to honk all the time for everything. That being said we did not need earplugs at all to sleep, with the expection of one day when there was a parade that went by.
Also the tequila was empty when we arrived. 🙁
Overall a solid bnb and a great experience.
