Emilce's apartment lived up to all the positive reviews that previous guest have left. The building is nice and very well located. It is situated in Palermo, which is a very nice area for walking around and exploring. There is a very nice restaurant with a sidewalk cafe two doors down, and another restaurant right across the street from the first. There is also a little market right across the street, which makes for extremely convenient shopping runs and there is even a butcher shop 3 or 4 doors down.

The apartment itself was much larger and comfortable than what I had expected. My wife and her mother slept on the queen sized bed, and I slept on the queen sized sofa bed. The sofa bed was actually very comfortable (wood slats under the mattress). Emilce provided enough pillows, sheets and towels for everyone. We found the apartment to be very clean. The apartment has a nice balcony facing the street with the restaurants and other apartment buildings. I found the view to be nice. Perfect for sipping on some malbec.

There's even a laundry room on the first floor, which we had the chance to use. The washer and dryer are large capacity and work very well, but be forewarned that the machines take about 6 or 7 "peso" coins each. Those coins are not easy to obtain, even from banks! Also, there is a doorman (David). He's very nice too. As for communication, Emilce responds to messages quickly. I never met her in person, but the communication was so good, that meeting wasn't necessary.

The only issue we had with the apartment was that one of the AC units was not working well, so the apartment was a bit warm. A repair team came to correct the issue during our third night, so the rest of our stay was flawless. Despite the issue, everything else was so perfect, that we were able to overlook the snafu. I suspect that future guests won't have a problem since it has been corrected. Wifi and cable worked well and the apartment has a landline, which came in handy to arrange a car back to the airport and to make an appointment for my wife to have her hair done.

Emilce arranged for a car to come pick us up at the airport for a very moderate price that we paid directly to the car company. We paid USD $28 to $45 (depends on which of the 2 exchange rates you use). The price is excellent, considering there were three of us with a lot of luggage and the airport was 50 minutes from Palermo.

My wife and I really enjoyed our time in Buenos Aires, and in Emilce's apartment. We hope to visit again,and when we do, we'll certainly seek out her apartment again.

Thanks Emilce!
