Arafat Scarf, do you know of any barrios in CDMX that would be similar to Chapinero in Bogota? I prefer areas that aren't too high end, international, sterile, safe, etc. I like to have a more authentic and local experience, I also don't mind if it's a bit rough although I obviously don't want to stay in an area where I have to be super paranoid about my safety at all times. I'm probably going to stay in a hotel for my short trip, hoping to find something in the the $30-50 USD/night range.
Maybe La Condesa but its way less gritty then Chapinero.
I would probably say a little more east in Roma, because to me Condesa looked nicer than most other areas. Less gentrified still. But I'm sure there are areas more gritty, I just don't know what ones are recommended.
