Rodrigo is a really laid back and friendly person who makes sure that your stay in CDMX is perfect. I felt like moving in with a friend from the first moment! Escandon is actually a pretty up and coming neighbourhood, not as expensive as Roma Norte or Condesa. You can still walk to Condesa if you're looking for more cafe and restaurant options, it's like 15 minutes or so. But you'll find everything you need around the apartment as well. I never felt unsafe there either.
Worth mentioning that it might get a little noisy at night, since the room is facing the street side. But I had no issues with it. Overall I'd say this place is great value for money. The internet worked really well, I stayed for two weeks and working remotely was never an issue. I'd definitely stay there again and highly recommend it!
