Maria was a gracious, thoughtful, and attentive host.

The apartment has a good location in San Telmo, close to shops and restaurants. Maria’s helper, Jose Luis, does not speak English but is willing to show up and address issues.

During the two weeks I stayed there, the white carpet shown in the pictures was not there (out being cleaned, Maria explained to me) and the floors were bare, the kitchen light hanging from the ceiling was not working, the windows had no screen so mosquitoes came in, and there were ants in the kitchen. Jose Luis used sprays to get rid of the ants and mosquitoes, but with only limited success. The fumes necessitated opening the windows, which brought in more (apparently hungry!) mosquitoes. There were also ants in the bathroom.

Those issues mattered during a two-week stay and I wish I had known about them in advance, however I did enjoy the location and appreciate Maria's responsiveness to all of my emails, before and during my stay.
