Oscar's apartment was a small but cozy base for us in Buenos Aires. Communication with him was easy, and he was helpful in getting us settled and helping us pack up and leave on our last day (we were running a bit late!). The building is old but well-maintained, and the location was very convenient to many cafes and restaurants, the major sites in Recoleta like the cemetary, and a reasonable walk to the city center and places in Palermo. We also walked to Porto Madera from there, but it was a trek. The building and neighborhood were quite safe. The furnishings were comfortable (although the bed was a bit tight for two people) and the phone for local calls was very useful for us since we didn't have international cell phone service.
