Overall the place is ok, quite basic, but with a nice view. Great neighborhood. I wouldn't stay here over a week. A few issues just to watch out for:
- host was late for checkin, only would take calls to arrange (didn't have a local sim) , had me stay in a different apartment after flying 15 million hours (compensated me $10 haha) for the first night
- because construction noise and overall lack of excitement about the place and host, I decided to change the dates - he was willing finally which was cool (left two weeks earlier than expected)
- charged me for cleaning when it was on the policy that it was included, but he later compensated me half the cleaning cost back (I agreed to the cleaning, but it was false advertising)
- tried to say that I had a deposit and that it'd be refunded when there was no deposit as it was done through airbnb, then offer use that instead of sending money via airbnb, but it never existed... didn't really understand this.
- overall felt like any time I needed to ask or help, I was really bothering the host
I lived in Argentina for 4 years and know the place well, including the business tactics/style, language, and yet was still treated as a total tourist which was strange.
Overall, not impressed by the experience, but at least the host tried somewhat to make it right all said and done.
Enjoy Palermo viejo.
