NO RUNNING WATER!!!! Yes, you read that right. No water in the kitchen sink, bathroom sink or shower. The only water I had was water I got from security when I brought this to his attention. Each time I wanted to wash my face, etc. I had to fill a small pot with water and take it to the sink. Couldn't shower. Water didn't come on until around 8 am the next day! I checked the water again at 7 something am and still no water. When it finally came, it barely came out of the faucet. In shower little drops- you'd need to fill a bucket with water to bathe! Not that there was a bucket. Couldn't flush toilet until after 8 am when the water came on because I knew the tank wouldn't refill.
Wifi is non-existent! Should not be advertised as having wifi. Almost never came on. Few times it came on (1-2 bars max!) it doesn’t stay on for 5 minutes straight. If you move an inch it disconnects, assuming it ever comes on to begin with. Even standing outside the room wifi doesn’t work.
Room was HOT!!!! First thing I noticed when I stepped in and I mentioned that to security. No proper ventilation. Only window screen that's accessible is a small one in kitchen in front of the broken window in room 205. You will be hot all day and night! Ceiling fan which barely cooled. Noisy floor fan which all of a sudden tilted on its on and I caught it.
Oh, place does not look like the pictures, except for the kitchen and bathroom. Much smaller, would never fit two couches. Dirty, exposed box spring. Very dirty. Couch dingy looking, I couldn't sit on it.
Overall a stressful experience! A lot of my time was spent on the phone trying to call and email Airbnb, with no reception! Standing outside the room to try and contact Airbnb, using my own data.
Positive was the security, especially Esteban the morning security person. The guy at night was friendly, but should have been honest about the water situation. I didn't find out about the water until I had soap on my hands and couldn't rinse it off. Then he lied and said there was no water anywhere in Tijuana!!!!
This place actually has potential if management would pay more attention to detail. Other than the box spring and couch, it appeared clean and I liked the design. And I like the location.
Owner canceled the reservation a day after I checked out, "for maintenance" and Airbnb is supposed to issue me a refund.
