Ara’s loft was just as the pictures showed. The apartment was located in bustling Chinatown in the historic district. The building itself seems new or newly renovated and is well maintained and secure. From this location it was easy to get anywhere and Ubers are very inexpensive compared to where I’m from. Ara was readily available by text for anything that I might have needed. She even provides umbrellas, which you’ll need in CDMX. I did not need much else besides her cozy apartment after a day of sightseeing.
