Staying at Gustavo's place in Buenos Aires was probably the best Airbnb experience I've had so far! He was kind and communicative from the moment I made the booking and throughout my stay. When I arrived both he and his wife were waiting in the apartment to check me in, show me the place, and give me a warm porteño welcome. They are 5-star hosts and really went the extra mile to make sure I had everything I needed.
The studio has been recently and beautifully renovated and looks just like the photos and descriptions in the listing. I found it very clean—also Gustavo made sure a cleaning lady came to clean the whole place and change linens halfway through my two-week stay. The bed and pillows are very comfortable. The apartment is surprisingly spacious for a studio, with great closet space—and even a dining area with a table for four! The blinds do a good job keeping it dark for a comfortable night's sleep, but once you open them in the morning there's lots of sunlight (windows facing east). The kitchen is equipped with a microwave, a toaster, a coffee maker (a necessity!), an electric kettle, some pots and pans. And there's both central heating and AC (hot and cold).
The location is ideal for an authentic Buenos Aires experience. It's within walking distance from so many attractions—the Galerías Pacífico shopping mall, Teatro Colón (Columbus Theatre), Puerto Madero, Plaza de Mayo, CCK (Centro Cultural Kirchner) and so many others. It's also within walking distance from the Subte (subway) and the Retiro train station—super convenient.
I highly recommend Gustavo's place and would certainly stay there again!
