Ivan is the best host we have ever had with Airbnb. He answered our initial queries about the apartment promptly and bookings were quick. He met us at the door when we arrived and then walked us through the apartment making sure we understood how things such as the gas and water heater worked. After that, he drove me to pick up a SIM and acted as translator during the transaction. Finally, he explained the ins & outs of currency exchange.

The apartment was very nice and just our style architecturally. It was clean, equipped with everything you need (including ironing board and iron), and the bed was comfortable. The neighborhood is safe and in a great area (Palermo Soho). There are plenty of stores and good restaurants nearby, taxis are frequent, and you are not far from lots of Buenos Aires' attractions (e.g. 15 minute walk to the Japanese Gardens).

There are two caveats to note...

First, sleepers particularly sensitive to noises and lights may need to make adjustments (e.g. use a white noise generator). Buses go by regularly and there are the usual urban lights outside. However, these are typical to any city setting and I do not want to imply Ivan's place is especially noisy.

Second, the apartment is probably not appropriate for younger (<4 years old) children. There are gaps in the railings and the steps are concrete.

Really, the only issue was the swimming pool was not usable. However, that feature is probably not the factor by which you would be selecting this apartment anyway.

Overall, a great place for a couple and an oustanding host.
