First I should say I had a wonderful six days in Mexico City, and then the earthquake hit the day before we were to depart. We were in the historic district when it hit and had to walk five miles back to the apartment. Rogelio continued to text, asking if we were OK and cautioning us to be careful. That evening he stopped by the apartment with candles since the power was out. Although the Condesa area was hard hit, there was no noticeable damage to Rogelio's apartment or the building. In fact, the street we were on looked untouched. The apartment is in a great location -- close to restaurants, bars and coffee shops, and handy to the metro. I would describe the decor as bohemian chic, with cool repurposed furnishings. The bed was comfortable. We did not use the kitchen except to make coffee, but it seemed well-equipped for moderate cooking. The earthquake was a tragedy, but I hope it will not scare people away from visiting in the future. The sights are amazing, the food is great and the people are friendly.
