Really don’t like leaving bad reviews but would hate for someone else to have to go through what we went through. We stayed in the front room of this house, and unfortunately we’re not able to sleep either night we were here. It was extremely loud to the point of unbearable. Also, both nights there were many fights outside of our window, with the second night escalating to about 30 people trying to burn the house down directly in front of this house (power lines on fire, chairs and rocks being thrown). Not only was it frightening as it was so close to our room, when we brought this situation up to the hosts, it was shrugged off as “oh it’s México, this is normal, the police don’t care”. Well, I am from Costa Rica and have been in Mexico for the last 4 years working, and no this is not normal. This episode went on until day light.
As we did not feel comfortable at all staying here, the only solution offered was to leave and go find another Airbnb at midnight. (As if we could even leave the house with these people going crazy right outside of the door).
Anyways, due to the lack of responsibility/carelessness on the hosts end (I am a host and could not imagine acting that way to my guests), and the absolute madness on this street, I wouldn’t want others to expect a relaxing vacay or quiet work trip (as we did), and have to go through something similar. And although the mob was not this hosts fault, I feel the situation could have been handled a million different ways.
