We stayed in Eugenia and Mariano's apartment in Recoleta for 1 month (May 2013) and really enjoyed our stay. As we are traveling with a 12 month old baby, we had a few small requests and questions for Eugenia which were responded to promptly.

The apartment was well stocked for our stay and not having a washing machine was not a big inconvenience as there is a lavanderia right next door the the building entrance. The apartment was spacious enough for us and our baby, who slept in the living room. We just had to make some minor adjustments to the furniture to 'baby proof' the apartment.

Not being from the city, we found the apartment to be a little noisy (road noise) but we got used to this within a few days and it didn't affect our sleep (or more importantly, our baby's sleep). On the flip side, the location was excellent for navigating our way by bus to the Microcentro and Palermo and other barrios. Eugenia and Mariano even provided us with a bus card for use during our stay. The apartment is within easy walking distance to the cemetery and a number of supermarkets. If you're staying long term and plan on buying quite a bit from the supermarket, make use of the 'envio a domicilio' (home delivery) service. There were also many playgrounds nearby to take our son to.

The building has 24 hour security which was good but we felt safe at all times in this neighbourhood, even at night.

In summary, we enjoyed our stay here and would recommend the apartment and Eugenia & Mariano to anyone.
