Staying at Maria's apartment was like a home away from home. Maria is a very gracious hostess & provided a warm welcome. Her apartment reflects a lot of her personality & has an artistic, creative vibe with lots of sunlight & lovely breezes. My room had a small balcony where I enjoyed morning tea before starting my day, however, if you're a light sleeper, just note Julian Alvarez is a busy street with buses & traffic rumbling through in the early mornings. Palermo is a very popular neighborhood, so it's not unusual to hear street noises.
The apartment is located in a nice residential area of Palermo Viejo and a 10 minute walk over to Palermo Soho & 5-6 blocks to Avenida Sante Fe for several bus options & the Scalabrini Ortiz Subte station. After a day of sightseeing, it was always nice to feel like I was returning to a home (and not a hotel).
