Natalia was completely convincing and trustworthy from before the point of reservation, but I really thought that the pictures and description were too good to be true: it seemed impossibly wonderful.
Well... IT WAS BETTER.
Everything about it was a superlative for me, from the insanely great location, to the layout, to the fashion magazine layout clean beautiful simplicity of the apartment itself, to the unfailingly pleasant doormen, to the incredible value.
Even the logistical perfection. I was participating in two Olympic activities there, and both the logistics stop [for accreditation] and transport stop [for the events shuttle bus] were steps from Natali's apartment. She, of course, has no control or even awareness of these things, but their coincidence only added to the otherworldly perfection of the visit.
Finally, I cannot say enough about Natalia's friendliness, hospitality, and availability [via WhatsApp] to answer any question and solve any problem [and she has children!!!].
I will never consider staying anywhere else in Buenos Aires... simple as that.
WONDERFUL.
This was my first Airbnb experience, and future experiences cannot possibly be as good as this one… so I am resolved to being spoiled by Natalia. However…
I will ALWAYS consider Airbnb as my first accommodation option.
THANK YOU, NATALIA.
THANK YOU, Airbnb.
