I felt very welcomed and it was a great safe location. Near the metro and cafes/stores.

Having said that this isn't a tourist friendly destination however, for non-spanish speakers this might be troublesome if you are expecting to understand everything (mexico city in general is not). If you want to feel comfortable with the language barrier i recommend a resort or do a tour with a guide.

The good thing is if you want to have an authentic mexican experience then this is great; you really are in the middle of everyday life of the mexican people and for me that is great. Walk in the morning to the metro and see all the stalls being put up, you can feel part of the neighborhood after a couple days.
