Positives-The location is perfect. It is within 5 minutes walk of dozens of restaurants and shops, Plaza Mayor and the San Miguel market. It also has easy access to taxis and the subway. It is also on a nice safe urban neighborhood. The one room apartment is basically the size of a hotel room with a sink and hot plate in the corner serving as the kitchen area. The host is extremely responsive and it was easy to check in. She seems to be genuinely concern for the well being of her clients.
Negatives-The one room apartment was a bit on the small side. Even with two people, we felt cramp. You have to walk upstairs from the street level to get to the apartment and the stairs are not often lit. On arrival our apartment, the bathroom was not cleaned adequately. There were unflushed urine in the toilet, hair on the counter and a broken, empty shampoo bottle. We cleaned the bathroom ourselves. Overall, the location is perfect and the apartment is nice enough but we would prefer something a little bigger. We take the bathroom situation as a unfortunate one-off event and the host seems genuinely sorry, but it sort of detracted from our stay there.
