My wife and I are taking a trip to Mexico City in July, and I'm looking at Airbnbs. The best looking one is located in Colonia Cuauhtémoc, near the muesuems and the American embassy. Ideally, we wanted to stay in Condesa or Roma, but this place looks great. What should I know?

Cuauhtémoc has always seemed every bit as safe to me as a neighborhood like Roma. My experience being that my cousin used to live in that area and works at the Uber corporate office which is also nearby. I wouldn't have any worries.

Obviously though any neighborhood can be dangerous if you aren't taking precautions or are in the wrong place at the wrong time, like any city.
If it is placed near the american embassy, then believe me, it is safer than la roma or la condesa...
Colonia Cuahtémoc is AWESOME. There are so many places and it's right next to Reforma, Chapultepec, Roma, Condesa. Go for it!
Oh yeah and also very lively. Up and coming neighbourhood and near Polanco, zona rosa, Roma and Condesa.
I love Cuauhtemoc. It's just off busy Reforma but still feels very neighborhoody. It's also considered the new "Little Tokyo" and has excellent Japanese food, as well as great street food. My gym is there and it always feels safe to me at night.
The only downside IMO is that you'd have to schlep across Reforma and through Zona Rosa to get to Roma/Condesa, but it's a quick walk.
If you stay there be sure to get breakfast at Casa del Fuego or Enomoto.
