After we had already booked our stay, we learned that our Porteño friends happen to know Dorothea and Marcela, the local caretaker, and hold them both in high regards. The apartment is beautiful with eclectic and interesting art and furniture. It has a comfortable balcony overlooking a mostly quiet tree-lined street and the grassy park in front of Recoleta cemetery. There are dozens of restaurants in the neighborhood, and it is a pedestrian friendly city. A four-story indoor mall and the fine arts museum are short walks away. If possible, I will plan to book this apartment again on my next visit. It was a pleasure.
