TERRIBLE EXPERIENCE. I checked in on July 4, and stayed in this place the last 4 months.
The location. In 2 min from San Blas metro. That's it. No entertainments, besides shouting drunk people in the local pub (the 'apartment' is literally next to this). No parks, no recreations areas. The closest gym in 20 min by walk. The promised 'stadium' in 30 min of walk.
The apartment. This is two floors house (the underground floor with 4 rooms and basement with no windows n natural light - 3 rooms there). My room was the most decent comparing to the others. No heater inside of the room. The kitchen is tiny, 4 people can start cooking simultaneously n this ended up as chaos. A lot of huge cockroaches inside of kitchen (they are wandering around shelfs with tenants food), in the bathroom n even in my room! Disgusting! When I asked host to face up to this situation, she just sprayed toxic liquid around the kitchen. As I would solve issue.. Some days this place was as dirty as hodge, n I needed to clean the floor of kitchen because of the dirtiness. In addition, the host doesn't use appropriate liquids like chlorine to clean the apartment. She uses vinegar. The smell after 'cleaning' is terrible.
In addition, they have 3 cats. God save you if you want to complain about them. They are allowed to walk outside. Then, they enter house n walk around clean dishes n kitchen surfaces n dirty all place with their paws. A lot of furs around. N sweetest part - they wake up everyone in the middle of the night. Boom!
Advantages: well-equipped kitchen n dryer
The communication with host. Traumatising. Literally. She drove everyone crazy for 4 months. She made up some rules without even discussion with tenants. Like 'hey, you should throw away trash daily'. I felt unsafely the most of my stay. Then, some of the roommates burnt her kettle. We all were suffering for 2 months, being stressed. She sent reimbursement inquiry for $1500 for all 8 tenants. Not speaking of her attitude. Marina firstly smiling n welcome, then she belittles you. Disaster! Saying all time things like 'you are adults, educated people, we are family blah blah'. Then she charges you for 1k, nice! She cannot confront people face to face n sending messages on messenger reminding quickly who is the owner.
They do not adjust their life to life of their tenants n their needs. Noise caused by 24/7 TV in the basement (poor yellow n orange rooms), speaking loudly.
Gosh, I am so happy I checked out today. I wish you all people a lot of patience to contend with this.
