I had come to study Spanish in Buenos Aires for 9 months and I arrived in Buenos Aires, exhausted, after over 20 hours of travel with my cat. “Hada madrina” is the phrase for “fairy godmother,” which describes, Lilián, the hostess of Jacaranda Studios. Attentive, organized, efficient, and kind are the words that come to mind. She saw to it that safe and reliable transportation awaited me at the airport (and even helped arrange a stop by the pet store for kitty necessities on the way to the studio). This was just one example of the many thoughtful details that characterizes her style and made my stay delightful. Another example are the lovely breakfasts she has arranged for guests at nearby cafés, as well as the orientation and recommendations and advice she gave me when I arrived. (All her recommendations/advice were spot on.) The garden studio itself is spotless and looks just like the photos: charming and cozy. In addition, it is very secure (important for a woman traveling alone), including the entrance area and the courtyard. It's obviously in a great location: central to all the shops, restaurants, galleries, cafés and bars that Palermo is known for. Jacaranda Studios gets my highest recommendation.
