I had a wonderful time at Rodrigue’s apartment. Everything is just as pictured and described. The bed is very comfortable and the stove, oven and refrigerator all work very well for cooking. Internet was reliable and plenty fast to video conference with my company back in the US via Skype. The hot water is hot and the air conditioning works great (although I only ran it for about 10 minutes total during my 3+ week stay, because the 5th-story apartment gets plenty of cross-breezes).

The neighborhood has anything you could want (grocery, laundry, restaurants) and there are multiple bus lines that run within a block or two that take you anywhere in Buenos Aires. It’s about a 15-20 minute walk to the subway, but I find the buses to be generally more convenient than the subway. I always felt completely safe at any time of day or night.

Rodrigue was a terrific host. He was very flexible and accommodating on arrival and departure times, provided guidebooks and maps and even had a SUBE card ready to go loaded with enough pesos to get me through my first week of bus travel -- very thoughtful! He was fast to respond to any questions and we had a nice chance to chat the day I was leaving when he helped to make sure that my airport taxi would arrive.

I recommend this property and host without hesitation!
