It was incredible reviews that drew me into Maria and Enrique’s house, so I’m back here to pay it forward. From the start, Maria was super prompt with her replies (via Airbnb and Whats App) and provided me with super helpful info about arriving, transportation tips, etc. She is clearly a host with all the care and concern of someone who’s mothered four children! She left no detail uncovered in the check in process, even having me practice opening the doors with the keys, which I really appreciated! She left plenty of info in the way of maps, schedules and brochures.. and even has a book guests can write their own favorites in (kicking myself for not writing in it before I left!) She provided me with a Subte card which was very helpful- and the train was located conveniently just a couple blocks from the apt. She even gave me a lesson on preparing mate the right away and I bought a mate gourd from a gift shop she has in the house! (Much better than the overpriced ones you’ll find elsewhere around town!) I loved the balcony in my spacious room overlooking the street.. and the whole house (3 floors, with plenty of common areas, including a massive rooftop) felt so welcoming! My only regret is not being able to stay longer. I can’t imagine staying anywhere else the next time I return to Buenos Aires!
