Hi! Mexican here. I’m sorry you had a bad experience with the robbery :( I’m glad you had a great time in my city besides that. People are indeed really friendly you just have to be cautious. But I really liked the fact that that didn’t stop your journey or entirely transform it into a bad city for you. I hope you comeback to explore more! Cheers :)
Thanks so much! Yes everyone otherwise was so nice and I’m just glad the robbery wasn’t any worse than it was! Definitely will be more careful next time 🙈
I don't at all mean to be hurtful or personally insulting but I'm not entirely convinced this sweet natured, naive girl learned her lesson from that appalling street robbery experience because two days later she's sitting with the bloke she saw right before the robbery-- a total stranger-- and agreeing to eat his uneaten chia pudding 🤦♀. Imagine if he'd sprinkled some kind of poison or intoxicant into it then robbed her or shuffled her hastily into a pre-ordered Uber. I winced hearing her smile and share her experience with 'such a nice guy'. You don't eat food or drink anything given to you by a total stranger, even if they're being friendly and benign and seem genuine. It's called grooming. I wish her nothing but safety, happiness and good fortune and hopes she finds a way to toughen up and get smart without another tragedy being the catalyst for her sense of self-preservation to kick in. Especially if she's going to travel to dangerous countries as a single female. Good grief. 🤦♀

@@Tita_aeb I'm very well travelled and tend to take calculated risks generally speaking. Mexico is one of my dream destinations. San Miguel de Allende and Mexico City and at least ten more places I'd LOVE to visit. One of my favourite countries in the world. Researching the true risks to tourists in Mexico is difficult and I have no idea what the true situation is or will be. PS= Mexican food has always been one of my favourites too. PROPER Mexican food I mean.😋
The evacuation was probably because of an earthquake or an earthquake simulacrum! They are very common in CDMX and that’s just the procedure to keep everyone safe 😊
Ah thank you! I was wondering if that was the reason but I even looked up whether there would be an earthquake that day and nothing came up! Probably a simulation then ☺️
I’m sooo sorry you guys had to go through that!! I’m so embarrassed (I’m Mexican) and I wish you didn’t have to go through that. I’m so glad the both of you are ok.
I love your editing style! So beautiful and eye catching, aesthetically pleasing and love it 🤩 I’m happy that despite all of it you had a wonderful time ❤️
Im an American who’s lived here for 3 years with my Mexican husband, and it’s so funny seeing you go through all the same reactions/experiences I had when I first moved here. During rainy season it LITERALLY rains around the same time every day for 3-4 months which isn’t common anywhere in the states. Also my first earthquake evacuation I was confused as well because you can’t hear the sirens from everywhere. If it was just a drill they don’t do sirens. If I didn’t have my husband telling me what was going on I would have been so thrown of haha. So sorry you were a target of robbery, especially when you and your friend were minding your own business. This is common even in the nicer neighborhoods. My husband and I have even witnessed one ourselves in Roma and im positive if I didn’t have him, I would’ve been a victim by now. Regardless so glad you enjoyed your trip. All your outfits were adorable and you gave really great recommendations. Come back soon!!
I'm truly sorry you had to go through this. It's incredibly unfair and frustrating to have something like this happen to you. As someone from Mexico, I understand how challenging situations like these can be. While it’s difficult to comprehend what drives people to commit such acts, I hope that both you and those involved can find a better path forward. Please take care of yourself, and I hope you find the strength and support you need to heal from this experience. You're in my thoughts, and I’m sending you all the best wishes during this tough time.
Girl I am so sorry you went through that! You don’t have to downplay it, it is a terrible situation to be in and I m very ashamed it happened in my country 😢 pls be careful since it happens all the time!
Oh I became a fan, I literally cry when you got robbed and cry again when you went to Vasconcelos because that’s my favorite part of the city and got so many heart breaking memories there omg please I hope you come back despite what happened 😔🤧🥺🥹
Hello! Mexican living in CDMX here. I'm glad you were able to enjoy your time here, even with the robbery :(. For when you come back (soon, hopefuly haha) I would recomend exploring the rest of the city along with someone who is local and you trust or maybe a guide so you can experience the true heart of Mexico and not only the social-media famous places. Although the places you visited are incredible and honestly quite a few of my favorites, they don't reflect Mexico City's essence at all.
Hi Maddie, my husband and I had the same exact experience as you and your friend. We were walking around when this happened. They also got into my bag and took my drivers license credit card and my insurance card. I had no idea at all. They were very good at what they did. They tried to charge $5000 at a hardware store. Thank God I contacted my bank before I left for Mexico City letting them know that I would be there on vacation. They didn’t allow that transaction to go through because they knew I wouldn’t be at a hardware store spending $5000.😅 So the robbers got nothing and it didn’t ruin our trip at all. I absolutely love Mexico City.!! The funny thing was, I was thanking them for helping me and my husband, wipe all the bird poop off of us, which was actually chocolate!!😂
@@MaddieTsang so happy they didn’t get away with anything. The funny thing is, I couldn’t stop thanking them for helping me clean all the chocolate bird poop off me and my husband. 😂😂
You got the whole Mexico City experience with the robbery. In USA when we meet someone from Mexico City everyone exclaims “hide your wallets” it’s an inside joke but very common in Mexico City
Oy… that’s blows! I was in CDMX in March, stayed in Condesa, and loved it. I’m going back in Nov for my friend’s bday celebration and staying in the same area. I’ll be sure to be on heightened alert for this type of scam/robbery.
Reality is that this type of crime appeared when Mexico waive the visa requirements for Colombian, Peruvians and others. Yes, this crime just popped up and it's still happening. They've caught a few and have deported them but they just come back with a different passport. They also use motorcycles to grab thighs from people walking on sidewalks. The Mexican gov knows what is happening but they afraid to reapply the visa requirement for these countries since they afraid of the other governments' reaction.
@@MaddieTsangLa Roma and Condesa are areas where tourists stay in, and probably more likely for anyone to get robbed. Been in this town a couple times but always stayed in Polanco with no issues. But Polanco is not as popular for tourists to stay in and personally I think it feels safer. And after seeing this video I’m keeping my tradition of only staying in Polanco. Good thing you didn’t let it ruin the rest of your trip.
Currently planning a trip to Mexico City and obsessed with all of your outfits during this trip! I'm sorry you had a bad experience. I'm glad you didn't let that ruin your trip. Great vlog :)
I went to mexico city earlier this summer so it was so cool to see some of the places I had went to. And now I'm glad to have more spots to check out because of this video :) CDMX is so beautiful
I'm mexican and i show My friend from France this video , and help to See good and Bad things of México city . It's sad that happen too You and i admire u they way to take this My friend tellme that happens in the Big cities alot , i'm very ashamed about that i feel Bad 😢 , You are a kind person god bless u .
i’m very proud to be mexican and to live here… unfortunately, we have security problems, but we try to maintain that there are more positive things than negative ones, mexico is beautiful, colorful, artistic, and there is always something cultural happening, unlike other countries in europe and north america ❤ we are the cradle of art and music on the american continent.
So this video popped up on my TH-cam homepage and I’m like Maddie Tsang? Don’t I know her? Then I realized it’s from following on IG for years, has no idea you were a TH-camr as well! This was a great roundup and your travels are so well planned and curated just like your IG. I know that your TH-cam is going to explode. LOVE your vlogs and you’re so talented. Do you edit your own videos too? Sorry to hear about the robbery but glad that you were still able to enjoy your trip. I love Mexico so much
Aw thank you so much!! I really appreciate it 🥰🥰 Yes, I edit my own videos- I’ve been really getting into it lately so it means a lot that you enjoyed! :))
Thanks for such an interesting tour. Fun details. Some Mexicans are so creative when it comes to crimes/scams...I was married and living in Mexico and my Mexican husband kept me abreast of the latest scams as he heard them.
Hi Maddie, thank you for sharing that trip to Mexico, beautiful cafes and restaurants. Too bad about the robbery, just be careful. I saw your good taste on clothing. Beautiful dresses, jewelry and hair accessories. God bless you always. 🙂
Sorry the robbery happened to you but glad you shared your story. I'll be going to Mexico City this year and I wasn't aware of pickpockets there. I'd heard this same type of scam but in Italy where they squirt mustard on unsuspecting tourists - then they are "helpful" in clearning up the mustard while stealing. So thank you for sharing - I think I'll be putting my credit cards inside my bra or elsewhere!
So sorry about the robbery, im mexican and i feel so bad about that experience but its good that u and ur friend take with the best attitude ❤ thanks for coming 😊
Hi, I am glad you are ok after your experience in CDMX. I am Mexican and yes, I think Mexicans in Mexico are in general polite but they keep to themselves so if someone approaches you, be careful.
Loved this beautiful vlog, very aesthetically pleasing. My father is from Mexico & would always go sight seeing with him, but I had no idea all of those cute places were there. Definitely going to check these places out next time I go ❤
Thank you for sharing your experiences! Loved the video! My bestie is moving there soon so I'll will share this with her as well! Glad you and your friend are alright.
New Mexican subscriber here! I loved your vlogging style, so cute! Love everything you show bc I feel like that’s what I do when I travel haha you went to a some of my favorite places! Keep it up girl!
I agree I’m Mexican and when I do to DF I like to go to mercado,el centro, taquerias and the not so Americanize version…why travel all the way to eat what you can eat here in USA
Imagine, they got robbed in Condesa. Where would you like them to go that’s safe enough for tourists? I was born and raised in Mexico City and even I don’t feel comfortable in some areas.
Tremendous Capital City!. Visitors quickly realize the rich and complex history, traditions, art, architecture, and eclectic and delicious gastronomy. Mexico City is just fascinating, too much to explore and discover Mexico has the largest number of world heritage sites recognized by UNESCO in the Americas. Nice vid!
The evacuation was an earthquake drill! You all foreigners should know that Condesa, Roma, Juárez, Chapultepec and Cuauhtémoc are not as cute as you all think, robberies, delinquency (any kind you can imagine) happens, also earthquakes are really dangerous in that area, just take a look into 2017 earthquake videos! You guys take care!!
I love your outfits! Do you have them linked anywhere? This was a beautiful vlog. Loved everything you ate & places you visited. Glad you were safe after that unfortunate incident 🙏🏽
I’m so sorry about the robbery 🙁 I’ve been to Mexico many times but I’ve gone to the country side where my parents are from and I’ve been DYING to visit CDMX this video is PERFECT and has inspired me to book my trip for next year 🥹🫶🏼 if you don’t mind, could you please list the AIRBNB and hotel you stayed at? It’s okay if you rather not but I thought I’d ask! 🙇🏻♀️
I just discovered this video. Awesome video and cool place where you dined at. I'm sorry for your bad experience. In spite of the bad experience, it seems you still enjoyed your time there. I might have to take your lead on a couple of the places where you dined in.
Ok rule number one when traveling abroad, always take a bag or purse that has a zipper and closed opening. Sad but true that you have to do this. Also there’s cute ponchos online that are light weight and clear so we can continue to see your cute dresses 😍
Tbh I don’t think so bc I think the robbers would’ve been able to do it without a spotter. Also the chia pudding he bought me was worth more than what the robbers got from me. If anything I think the people in the restaurant next to where we got robbed who did nothing when they saw sauce thrown on us were the spotters.
@@MaddieTsang that was because he felt bad. I was robbed in Mexico City too. By the Taxi Driver that gave me fake money back. There was a spotter. He was like oh good there’s taxis right here when I came out of the museum and he waved his hand and a taxi came who was behind other taxis. Yeah then I got robbed
So sorry this happened to you both! Never bring your valuables in any Country your on vacation. You basically have to blend in w the others. Do not make conversation w strangers. Glad you were safe after all
cute vlog!! I went to cdmx when i was 10 and a robber snatched a gold chain right off my sister’s neck lol 😅 if you go again try more mexican dishes! Oh and in florida for weeks it’s been raining hard EVERY day after 4pm⛈️ so i feel you
Love your wonderful way of making this video. First time watching you can’t wait to watch the other videos. Will you please share where you bought your white dresses and also the other dresses I noticed sometimes you say where they’re from and then you don’t say where the other ones are from so I was very curious about the white dresses very beautiful thank you. Can’t wait to see more of your magic❤
An open purse is a bad idea. I would use only a bag with a closure. I also had my bag on my lap when sitting in public or between my legs. I lived in Mexico for 9 years. In the subway in Mexico City, I was with a group of people and someone came from behind and thrust their hand in the front pocket of my 'bermuda-length' jean shorts where my wallet was stored. Luckily my jean shorts were snug due to putting on some weight so when I realized what was going on, I put my hand in my pocket and held onto my wallet with all my might. Then the person got their hand out of my pocket empty handed. It happened so fast and it was crowded that I couldn't see the source of the hand. I was later told that robbers often work in pairs, so even if I were able to get to my knees to get their hand out of my pocket or try to hurt them, it could've been worse.
I got robbed in Turkey, and even though I loved it there it did put a damper on the end of our trip. But now I’m more aware of my bag, and surroundings, etc. going to CDMX soon can’t wait. What month did you go and how was the weather?? Thanks in advance!
I was out&about my day ,,,, until I remembered in all of your video you never really try authentic mexican cuisine 😮! Mexican cuisine is categorized as one of the best in the world! How could you miss out!!!!😮❤😂 next time you visit if you ever do please try it! I’m not talking just about tacos 😊😅
WHEN I go to Mexico I like to eat their authentic food and I feel like you guys ate pretty much American food that you can eat anywhere in United States except the tacos…
Im glad you enjoy Mexico but maybe next time if you wanted to have pasta just go to Italy hahahaa unless you travel to Italy to eat some Mexican food 😮💨😳🙄
Hello Maddie haven’t gone through all the video, I heard something about a robbery… that ashames me as a Mexican myself. I’m sorry you had that bad experience… besides that . Yeah Mexico city is a bit more chilly than other parts of the southern side of the capital of México… down the South it gets pretty hot during the day… And those dresses would of been perf❤
Thank you! I still had an amazing time luckily. ☺️ And makes sense! Definitely will have to bring more appropriate clothing for the weather next time 😅
Maybe the evacuation was there was an earthquake… or they were doing an earthquake simulation . Since there had been pretty bad earthquakes in Mexico city with alot of dead plp 😢 so they were saving your life when they pulled you out 😊❤
My thoughts exactly 😅 to eat pasta and drink coffee, which is such a shame because Mexico is a culinary paradise !! 🤩 .. also I felt like she didn’t really explore the city nor experience the culture that much, apart from a few bookstores and a couple of museums, it would have been really nice to actually see her visiting interesting places… Mexico City is soo big and diverse, definitely has so much more to offer ! Hope she goes back in the future 🙂
Great video! Mexico City is my home away from home. Sorry this happened. I always suggest using a bra wallet which can be found on Amazon and only carry a bag that goes around your waist or across your chest and always closed. These are deter them from targeting you. I also get the feeling that the “nice” guy was the scout.
Hotel have more segurity arnb is not hotel. If u come again Hotel Foir points is a more is confortable, segurity no more arbnb is not hotel in Mexico or anywhere. Roma Norte or Condesa is cool. Please be careful always.
Hi! Mexican here. I’m sorry you had a bad experience with the robbery :( I’m glad you had a great time in my city besides that. People are indeed really friendly you just have to be cautious. But I really liked the fact that that didn’t stop your journey or entirely transform it into a bad city for you. I hope you comeback to explore more! Cheers :)
Thanks so much! Yes everyone otherwise was so nice and I’m just glad the robbery wasn’t any worse than it was! Definitely will be more careful next time 🙈
I knew Mexico City is insane but these videos enhance the experience. Soy brasileña
I don't at all mean to be hurtful or personally insulting but I'm not entirely convinced this sweet natured, naive girl learned her lesson from that appalling street robbery experience because two days later she's sitting with the bloke she saw right before the robbery-- a total stranger-- and agreeing to eat his uneaten chia pudding 🤦♀. Imagine if he'd sprinkled some kind of poison or intoxicant into it then robbed her or shuffled her hastily into a pre-ordered Uber. I winced hearing her smile and share her experience with 'such a nice guy'. You don't eat food or drink anything given to you by a total stranger, even if they're being friendly and benign and seem genuine. It's called grooming. I wish her nothing but safety, happiness and good fortune and hopes she finds a way to toughen up and get smart without another tragedy being the catalyst for her sense of self-preservation to kick in. Especially if she's going to travel to dangerous countries as a single female. Good grief. 🤦♀

Mexico has the largest number of world heritage sites recognized by UNESCO in the Americas.
Nice vid!
The evacuation was an earthquake drill! You all foreigners should know that Condesa, Roma, Juárez, Chapultepec and Cuauhtémoc are not as cute as you all think, robberies, delinquency (any kind you can imagine) happens, also earthquakes are really dangerous in that area, just take a look into 2017 earthquake videos! You guys take care!!
Subscribed! What a wonderful vlog of CDMX :)
Thanks so much! ☺️
I like your vibe … that‘s so sad with the robbery mexico is a lovely coty and like you mentioned this could happen in any country of the world 😊
I love your outfits! Do you have them linked anywhere?
This was a beautiful vlog. Loved everything you ate & places you visited. Glad you were safe after that unfortunate incident 🙏🏽
Can you share details on the Air bnb’s? Really enjoy your video. 😊
Thank you! Yes here it is! www.airbnb.com/slink/5F5wuk0t
I’m so sorry about the robbery 🙁 I’ve been to Mexico many times but I’ve gone to the country side where my parents are from and I’ve been DYING to visit CDMX this video is PERFECT and has inspired me to book my trip for next year 🥹🫶🏼 if you don’t mind, could you please list the AIRBNB and hotel you stayed at? It’s okay if you rather not but I thought I’d ask! 🙇🏻♀️
Thanks so much for watching! :) Here is the airbnb link: www.airbnb.com/rooms/1042016491797080302
I just discovered this video. Awesome video and cool place where you dined at. I'm sorry for your bad experience. In spite of the bad experience, it seems you still enjoyed your time there. I might have to take your lead on a couple of the places where you dined in.
Thanks so much for watching! ☺️❤️
Ok rule number one when traveling abroad, always take a bag or purse that has a zipper and closed opening. Sad but true that you have to do this. Also there’s cute ponchos online that are light weight and clear so we can continue to see your cute dresses 😍
Girl he was the spotter for your robbers. Came back for more. 😂
Tbh I don’t think so bc I think the robbers would’ve been able to do it without a spotter. Also the chia pudding he bought me was worth more than what the robbers got from me. If anything I think the people in the restaurant next to where we got robbed who did nothing when they saw sauce thrown on us were the spotters.
@@MaddieTsang that was because he felt bad. I was robbed in Mexico City too. By the Taxi Driver that gave me fake money back. There was a spotter. He was like oh good there’s taxis right here when I came out of the museum and he waved his hand and a taxi came who was behind other taxis. Yeah then I got robbed
Love the vibeees 😍
Glad u are ok !! 🤍
Do you think is possible to share the link of your first Airbnb? Thank uuu ☺️
Thank you!! Yes, here it is! www.airbnb.com/slink/5F5wuk0t
So sorry about the robbery, that sucks.
La evacuación fue por un temblor. Lo cual es muy común en CDMX.
Ah thank you!
So sorry this happened to you both! Never bring your valuables in any Country your on vacation. You basically have to blend in w the others. Do not make conversation w strangers.
Glad you were safe after all
great video! thanks for all the tips! Looking forward to experiencing the cafes (hopefully no sauce - sorry that happened to you ladies)
Thanks so much! I hope you enjoy! ☺️❤️
The bird poop is a universal pick-pocket tactic.
cute vlog!! I went to cdmx when i was 10 and a robber snatched a gold chain right off my sister’s neck lol 😅 if you go again try more mexican dishes!
Oh and in florida for weeks it’s been raining hard EVERY day after 4pm⛈️ so i feel you
Hola soy de México que lindo que la pasaste bien 😊
Gracias! ☺️❤️
Love your wonderful way of making this video. First time watching you can’t wait to watch the other videos. Will you please share where you bought your white dresses and also the other dresses I noticed sometimes you say where they’re from and then you don’t say where the other ones are from so I was very curious about the white dresses very beautiful thank you. Can’t wait to see more of your magic❤
Great video! I'm sorry to hear about your robbery encounter.
Another Mexican here, I'm so sorry you had a bad experience :( Thanks for sharing !
Just subscribed :)
I love travel vlogs, yours was so fun :) Can you share the airbnb you stayed in? TIA 😊
Please what dress are you wearing at 10:33 ? Its literally perfect im obsessed 🥹💞💞
It’s an old dress from Urban Outfitters! I don’t believe they make it anymore though :(
What a wonderful Airbnb! We hope to welcome you next time. :)
Great vlog. Btw, Hule has a silent H and is pronounced oooh-lay.. Although hule means rubber in this context it refers to the vinyl records. Cheers!
Ah thank you! Some of the proper pronunciations totally slipped my radar 😅
Bag on the floor is bad luck in Mexican culture!! So cute he got you a stool for the bag.
Love your vlogs!❤
An open purse is a bad idea. I would use only a bag with a closure. I also had my bag on my lap when sitting in public or between my legs. I lived in Mexico for 9 years.
In the subway in Mexico City, I was with a group of people and someone came from behind and thrust their hand in the front pocket of my 'bermuda-length' jean shorts where my wallet was stored. Luckily my jean shorts were snug due to putting on some weight so when I realized what was going on, I put my hand in my pocket and held onto my wallet with all my might. Then the person got their hand out of my pocket empty handed. It happened so fast and it was crowded that I couldn't see the source of the hand. I was later told that robbers often work in pairs, so even if I were able to get to my knees to get their hand out of my pocket or try to hurt them, it could've been worse.
I got robbed in Turkey, and even though I loved it there it did put a damper on the end of our trip.
But now I’m more aware of my bag, and surroundings, etc. going to CDMX soon can’t wait. What month did you go and how was the weather?? Thanks in advance!
Sorry to hear that! 😔 We went in the first week of August and it was rainy in the afternoons!
Such a cute vlog! Loved all your dresses. Where are they from?
I was out&about my day ,,,, until I remembered in all of your video you never really try authentic mexican cuisine 😮! Mexican cuisine is categorized as one of the best in the world! How could you miss out!!!!😮❤😂 next time you visit if you ever do please try it! I’m not talking just about tacos 😊😅
WHEN I go to Mexico I like to eat their authentic food and I feel like you guys ate pretty much American food that you can eat anywhere in United States except the tacos…
Great vlog! Moved to Mexico after being tired of the US. Much love ❤❤
Could mention the name of the first Airbnb?
Never had a desire to go to Mexico, but I'll watch every vlog you post ❤❤ love your asthetics!
Thanks so much!! ❤️❤️
How did you continue the trip without your credit card?
I had Apple Pay! Thank god
Im glad you enjoy Mexico but maybe next time if you wanted to have pasta just go to Italy hahahaa unless you travel to Italy to eat some Mexican food 😮💨😳🙄
Lol I mean the pasta was good tho so no regrets
What hotel did you stay in the last couple days?
Hello Maddie haven’t gone through all the video, I heard something about a robbery… that ashames me as a Mexican myself. I’m sorry you had that bad experience… besides that . Yeah Mexico city is a bit more chilly than other parts of the southern side of the capital of México… down the South it gets pretty hot during the day… And those dresses would of been perf❤
Thank you! I still had an amazing time luckily. ☺️ And makes sense! Definitely will have to bring more appropriate clothing for the weather next time 😅
Maybe the evacuation was there was an earthquake… or they were doing an earthquake simulation . Since there had been pretty bad earthquakes in Mexico city with alot of dead plp 😢 so they were saving your life when they pulled you out 😊❤
Yes seems to be what it was! Glad it ended up not actually earthquaking (or if it did it was very very light)
Don’t stay in CDMX airbnbs
girlie did you go to mexico just to eat pasta???
Yes
My thoughts exactly 😅 to eat pasta and drink coffee, which is such a shame because Mexico is a culinary paradise !! 🤩 .. also I felt like she didn’t really explore the city nor experience the culture that much, apart from a few bookstores and a couple of museums, it would have been really nice to actually see her visiting interesting places… Mexico City is soo big and diverse, definitely has so much more to offer ! Hope she goes back in the future 🙂
Great video! Mexico City is my home away from home. Sorry this happened. I always suggest using a bra wallet which can be found on Amazon and only carry a bag that goes around your waist or across your chest and always closed. These are deter them from targeting you. I also get the feeling that the “nice” guy was the scout.
Good job. I love CDMX. but safety is an issue. always need to be mindful.
Alot of the times , it rains at the same times😂😂😂 idk why
Hey can you link your Airbnb, and your hotel
Can you link the airbnb?
Do you have outfit links?
@MaddieTsang loved the video but the Airbnb is so nice ❤. Can you provide the name of the listing and location? Thank you 😊
Here it is! www.airbnb.com/rooms/1042016491797080302
Hotel have more segurity arnb is not hotel. If u come again Hotel Foir points is a more is confortable, segurity no more arbnb is not hotel in Mexico or anywhere. Roma Norte or Condesa is cool. Please be careful always.
