PROS: Well located. Apartment just like pics. Great communication from host company, Casai.
CONS: Noisy! Unit is directly below gym/weights. Partying Neighbors. Right on busy street. Strong smell of smoke daily.
Firstly, I want to give my review for the management company/hosts Casai. They were great. Very accommodating with extra hangers, repairs, questions etc. Quick to responds and very helpful. I would absolutely stay with this company again.
The apartment itself was just like the photos. Modern, clean and has all the amenities (except washer/dryer which you will need an outside service for).
As for the cons listed above. I have lived in Mexico for over a year. I am used to the noise here. This was another level. First and foremost, be warned that the bedroom is directly below the gym on the 11th floor. At 6am until 11pm (gym hours don't matter), you will be woken up by people dropping weights on the floor and running on the treadmills. My GF and I either couldn't sleep at night or were woken up early just about every single day from this. On top of that, the walls are thin and the neighbors love to party. Loudly. I stayed 2 weeks and "enjoyed" their music through our walls many nights. Lastly, the windows are not soundproof at all and even when closed you hear all the sounds of the main road "Insurgentes" directly below. Traffic and workers shouting gets going about 6:30a.
Besides the noise, even if this is a non-smoking building, the neighboring unit who is a long term renter, smokes cigarettes indoors on-schedule about every night after 11pm. This smell is sucked into both bathrooms of this airbnb and makes the entire unit smell TERRIBLE.
I'm sorry to write a review like this for such a great and professional hosting company, Casai. None of the above complaints are their fault and there's nothing anyone can do about it. It's just the luck of the draw for that particular apartment unit. I just wish I had read a review like this before booking. Casai is A+ but this unit is C-.
