3 friends stayed for 1.5 months in July-August 2022. Overall, it was a good stay. However, we struggle to call it excellent.
What was good?
- Spacious apartment with 1.5 baths.
- Modern and clean design.
- New and secure building.
- Close to Caminito.
What wasn't as good?
- We stayed during winter and it was really cold each night. The stay didn't have any blankets (only bedsheets and one-bed cover) and out of the 2 ACs, one was broken and only worked a few days a week. Thus, we had to keep the door open between the rooms and blast the working AC at 30C, making one of the rooms really hot and barely warming up the other room. Hosts will probably add warm blankets and the problem will be fixed.
- It's really hard to get anywhere from that part of the city. The subway doesn't go to La Boca and buses are quite unreliable in that neighborhood. The average commute time to Plaza de Mayo was around 40 minutes, to Palermo 1h accounting for unreliable buses.
- The apartment is 2-3 blocks away from a big stadium; thus, it gets very loud a few nights each week.
- We expected to have a gym in the building; however, it was being renovated throughout the whole stay. Furthermore, there is only one laundry machine for the whole building, which was often broken. However, the hosts refunded us for the use of a laundry place 10 minutes away from the Airbnb.
Summary:
Overall, it's a nice location but we do not think that it is the best value. It is possible to find similar apartments in the city center for a similar price.
