Staying in Guillermo's lovely apartment has been a great introduction to Buenos Aires. We felt safe and were able to explore easily. Recoleta is a lovely district and all parts (including major galleries, grand hotels, parks and upmarket shops) are in easy walking distance from the apartment. We enjoyed seeing the jacaranda trees come into bloom from the balcony which has a view over a small plaza. There are local restaurants and shops which give a sense of community. The area is quiet at night.
Guillermo is the perfect host in every way and responds to emails very quickly. His guide/local tips are very helpful. The flat is very beautifully decorated with paintings and art objects and he has excellent taste. A five star stay in every way!
