We had had our trip planned for months when the earthquake hit Mexico City in late September. Being journalists, we decided we would still go. We arrived in the city two days after the quake, many of the streets in La Condesa were still closed off and Arianna wasn't sure whether or not we'd be able to enter the apartment. She was kind enough to offer us a room in her own home in another neighborhood. We showed up at her house at 6 am and she was incredibly welcoming accommodating even in the middle of chaos and tragedy. She even made us breakfast and took us around to show us the disaster zones because she was concerned for our safety. I'm not exaggerating when I say she is one of the kindest people we've ever met. We ended up being able to access the apartment in La Condesa that very afternoon. It turned out the building was structurally sound and the electricity and water came back on that evening. We stayed in the apartment for nine days and it was amazing. Super cozy, and close to everything. Arianna checked in on us periodically and was always available when we needed her--she even offered for us to keep staying in her home if we were scared to be alone in La Condesa. Arianna, the apartment, and the neighborhood were all amazing. We couldn't have asked for a better place. The neighbors are also really nice. The apartment is on a quiet street, but, being on the ground floor, you can hear some street noise. If you're a light sleeper, might want some earplugs. We highly recommend this place!
