My husband and I stayed here for a month, and it was perfect in so many ways.

First, location: It's two blocks from a metro station, and just a few blocks the other way you'll find more bars, restaurants, and shops than you can possibly visit. The neighborhood is lively enough to be fun, but residential enough to be safe and peaceful. There's hardly any noise up on the 25th floor! It's a city, so groceries are divided among produce stores, liquor stores, and dry goods, but all of these are within a block or two.

Second, amenities: The apartment is exactly the way it looks in the pictures, with a jaw-dropping view. You have cable television, laundry in the building, a security gate, a gym, and even a 31st floor hot tub. The bed is very comfortable, and the shower always has hot water (neither of these are givens in South America!).

Finally, service: Everyone at the rental company is friendly and easy to deal with. Marcelo gave us an extensive tour when we arrived, and the people in the office were great over the phone when we had questions. (The only thing is that they give you a lot of warnings about how to be safe in the city, which put us on edge at first. Don't be alarmed! We stayed for a month and never had a hint of anything suspicious happen.)

We would definitely stay again, and/or recommend to a friend.
