Where to start. Let's start at the beginning, before I even arrived I received a message from Fernanda that the cleaning woman was late so I would have to wait to check in. I ended up waiting almost 2 hours until 5pm. Then when I finally got into the apartment there was no internet so I spent over an hour with her and the cable company on the phone plugging the box in and out hoping it would go back on, it didn't, and it was out the whole day. Two days later at 8:45am there's a knock on the door it's the Cable Guy, he's come to fix the internet connection, that was working, so that meant the cable was out again for a few more hours while I was trying to work online. I asked Fernando if she would let me know next time someone was coming and she told me it doesn't work that way in Argentina they just show up whenever they want which as we all know is not how it works anywhere in the world. I asked a friend who lives here and they said the cable companies here always give you a day and a window of time that they will arrive so not to waste their time going to homes when nobody's there. Then I knew Fernanda was lying but didn't call her out on it.
I asked her for a second set of keys since I rented it for two of us. She said no and that I could leave the keys at the front desk so the one time I needed to leave the keys front desk security told me they do not hold the keys for the residents. When I told her the next day she said she would call them. And tell them what? to start holding keys for people that they already told me they don't do?
Then a couple days before I was set to leave I asked for a late check out, she tried to charge me $15. When I reminded her of my having to wait to check in she said the room was just booked so she couldn't do it. Really, somebody just booked it that moment? I checked her scheduling page and it wasn't booked for the next 3 days. That's when I had enough. I contacted Airbnb, they told me it was a fair request and that if she didn't agree that I could be compensated for it so she agreed to a 12 noon checkout but then the night before I was scheduled to leave she told me I had to leave at 10:00 a.m. disregarding her agreement with Airbnb"s arrangement that I leave at 12:00 noon so I left at 10:00 am.
Fernando was not happy that I contacted Airbnb and they agreed with me that she should give me the late check out because of her inconveniencing me 2 hours checking in. Sore loser.
Sorry to have to bore anyone with this review. My advice is there are lots of nice places in Buenos Aires to rent so steer clear of this one.
