If you are staying in Buenos Aires for just a few (4 or less) days, this is a great apartment to stay in.
Positives:
- Attractions: Walkable to Mercado San Telmo, Modern Art Museum, Contemporary Art Museum, (Museum of the Puppet, too!), Casa Rosada
- Location: Adjacent to Puerta Madero without being in the middle of the tourist craziness. Other popular neighborhoods (Recoleta and Palermo) are a 20-35 minute car ride away (or 1h 15m walk, which I did a couple of times)
- View! Seeing fireworks at night on Christmas Eve from several floors up was really wonderful.
- Building amenities: The pool was a real treat during the Argentinian summer. The gym equipment is in pretty good shape.
- Building security staff: Very friendly - and quite watchful.
- Communication: Carla Elizabeth is extremely responsive, and checks in with you almost daily.
What could have been better (these are both details, meant for people who go to bed early and those who like to cook. If you stay up late and/or aren't going to cook on vacation, you can ignore):
- There are freight trains that pass 1/2 block away multiple times a day. Be aware that there is a train daily at just after midnight (which I nicknamed "The Midnight Train to Georgia"), and then about 30 minutes later a single engine will pass by in the opposite direction.
- If you like to cook, this is not your apartment. The kitchen has basic equipment, and not much a good cook needs or uses.
