Egle's apartment is modern, sunny, and clean. I stayed there for a month and enjoyed both the apartment and the location, which is a few steps away from the heart of Boedo, where you can find restaurants and cafes with outdoor seating filled with locals. (My favorites are Cafe Pugliese for lunch and Cafe Floresta for dessert and coffee). The location is close to key bus lines that will take you to other barrios in Buenos Aires. Make sure you have a SUBE card (I obtained mine at the local post office) to use the buses. Otherwise you need to bring lots of coins and the fare almost doubles. There are also subway (subte) stops within five blocks of the apartment, but I did not use them at all during my stay, as the buses are more direct.

I did not have the chance to meet Egle in person, as she was out of the country when I was there. But I did meet Oscar who manages the entry and departure of guests, and lives in the same building. I had no problem checking in and out. Egle also sent a long letter with an introduction to the barrio, including recommended laundry places, restaurants, cafes, bus lines, and an umbrella shop that she likes. I wish more hosts would do that, as this allows the guest to get to know the neighborhood more quickly. A pleasant stay overall.
