From my first inquiry, through to check out, Marta was excellent to deal with. She was always quick to respond and interested in hearing any feedback along the way. She was not in Buenos Aires, but her niece checked me in and out of the apartment with no problems. They were both lovely to speak with, friendly, helpful and accommodating for check in / check out times.

As for the apartment itself, it has been my favourite Air BnB rental to date. I said all along that if I were to stay in BaAs that I would be thrilled with an apartment just like this. Loads of natural light, hard wood floors, clean and tidy, no bugs, GREAT bed. The balcony gets beautiful morning and afternoon sun. Perfect for morning breakfast or a mid-afternoon break. There is an air conditioning unit for the summer and heat for the winter.

The kitchen was equipped with enough dishes, cutlery, pots / pans and frying pans for two people to get by comfortably. The fridge worked well, was large and clean. The oven is electric and worked well.

As I was staying for approximately 6 weeks, internet was very important to me. Most of the time it worked very well, but occasionally I would lose signal or it would be a little slow. I was working from the apartment a lot, and was still able to work relatively efficiently, so overall it did not cause any problems.

The building itself was quiet, I never had any issues with noise from neighbours. The surrounding streets were quiet as well other than nights when there are futbol games, but that excitement is heard and felt throughout the city, so it is unavoidable no matter where you are.

The location of the apartment was great. Officially in Palermo Chico, but right on the border of Recoleta. Several grocery stores to choose from within about five blocks of the house, plus several small convenience stores and Chinese grocery stores. Lots of restaurants and cafes within only a couple of minutes walk, or you could bus or walk to the busier areas of Palermo for a more touristy feel, as well as more selection.

Subway (Subte) - Line D - was about 7 or 8 blocks away, taking you either to the central area or to Nunez / Belgrano. Buses were only one block away. I regularly used the 59 to get just about anywhere I needed to go.

There's a great small spa about 5 or 6 blocks away called Dosha Armonia Corporal on Pena street. An hour massage is about $35 USD. Treat yourself. It's worth it! I went nearly once a week!

La Dorada on the corner has good food and there is another parilla a few blocks away in Recoleta called Tupe that is excellent.

Las Heras park (one block away) is a beautiful spot for a morning stroll or afternoon tea. Must love dogs if you are going to this park!
