Before I booked this apartment I scanned the other reviews to see if it was a noisy apartment since it was close to a popular plaza and street that can get really busy at night. No one had mentioned this but the apartment was quite noisy.
There are many shops downstairs with rolling metal doors and lots of delivery trucks. This starts about 7am.
Some nights, but not all nights, there seemed to be a nightclub in the basement. I could hear music which started at about 2am. I couldn't see an entrance nearby so assume it was from the hostal next door or one of the restaurant/bars that has a sort of speak easy.
The apartment was nice but not deluxe like some I've stayed in through Airbnb.
The shower took a long time to heat up. Water came over the shower curtain and it was quite long. The tub was pretty high too so not safe for older people. There were no rails.
The rooms had no closets but there was a large, shared walk in closet.
They provided coffee for the Italian style espresso machine but no pods for the automatic espresso machine. I tried to find them at a nearby grocery store with no luck (and I speak Spanish).
The hosts eventually brought some over.
The light on the entry table was just decorative, there were no plugs there which would be a convenient place to charge cell phones etc.
Also, I had scheduled a taxi to take us to the airport but realized it was going to arrive too late and asked them to cancel it. When I got back to the US, I got a furious text from the driver that he had waited for me. So obviously it hadn't been cancelled.
Also, when I got back the hosts wanted me to pay them $250 for a cheap little bedside table that was already stained. They wanted me to pay for the 'damage' which could easily be cleaned with water and bleach. If the stains were caused by me, not all of them. And there were no coasters or anything to set your beverage on. The tables value would be about $40-50. Pretty outrageous.
All in all, the location is great. The noise is bearable if you're not a super light sleeper.
After this experience, a three star rating is generous.
