First the pros:
- Fantastic location. Half a block from La Cabrera (popular steakhouse); 1 block from Serrano Plaza and all of its restaurants and bars and shops; a 20 minute walk to the Subte. Enough restaurants and bars and shops in a 10 block radius to keep you busy for months.
- Super helpful owner. Check in was awesome. Juan was there to give us all sorts of advice. During our visit we could reach out to Sofi and she would respond within 30 mins with advice.
- Very spacious apartment. Bathroom, Kitchen, Bedroom, and living room were all separate rooms. Very spacious for the price and location.
Now the cons:
- Noise level was high. The apartment is sandwiched between the sidewalk (ground level) and a small play area for the apartment complex. In the afternoons you had noise coming from both playing children (outside the living room window) and the street (outside the bedroom).
- There may be a moisture problem in the apartment. The shower and window curtains all had mildew, as did the bathroom caulking. The bathroom door and walls showed signs of water damage. There was a dampness to the air that we couldn't get rid of by either opening the windows or running the AC units.
Bottom line: It's a great sized place in a great part of the city with a super helpful host for a reasonable amount of money. However, because of the noise level and the moisture level, we won't be returning.
