Andy was a very thoughtful and responsive host. He spent over two hours taking us around the neighborhood when we first arrived making sure we were comfortable and settled in. That was so appreciated. No other host has ever spent that kind of time and care making sure we were both settled in and ready to enjoy our stay.
The apartment is very comfortable and the neighborhood of Palermo Hollywood is fantastic. We liked it more than Palermo Soho that struck as a bit too tourist-driven and trendy. Nevertheless, the apartment neighborhood was extremely inviting.
There are local restaurants, bakeries, and markets within a few steps from the front door of the apartment building. Best of all, my wife and I found an amazing health club less than a block away that you can join very inexpensively for a day or a week at a time (or longer) that includes your own personal trainer (ask for Augustin). We enjoyed an hour or two of exercise each morning to rationalise our visit to a great bakery about four doors away on Fitzroy to buy fresh pastries to go with our morning coffee.
And aside from the world-renowned red meat offerings there are also excellent fish and vegetarian restaurants. Do not overlook the world class gelato/ice-cream offerings (make sure you try Alchemy on Calle Homboldt).
Buenos Aires is a very friendly city of unique neighborhoods that have diverse, interesting architecture and green space that encourages exploration by walking or biking especially but also has very affordable buses and taxis. We will be back.
