Luciano's place is a nice little studio very conveniently located in Palermo. It's close to the Metro and the buses of Ave Santa Fe, virtually across the road from a modern shopping 'district' (read, mall, but a pretty cool one - complete with food trucks) and there's a little bar on the corner. There's a couple of fantastic restaurants five minutes walk away (and several others about the same distance or closer).

The apartment itself is simple, but has everything you need, including a cute little balcony, that is very private on account of the huge trees screening it (they've grown quite a bit since the photos were taken). Importantly, it's very clean (and stayed that way, as a cleaner visited once a week for the three weeks I stayed). It's on the sixth floor, but quite a bit of the street noise manages to travel up anyway. For the first couple of hours, I thought this might be a problem, but I quickly stopped noticing it; Buenos Aires is obviously a pretty bustling city, and I suspect many apartments will have similar issues.

Luciano was responsive and helpful. He provided an array of tips as to what was going on in the city, and seems to be an all-around nice guy.

Buenos Aires is an excellent city and, provided you're not overly sensitive to noise, you'll have a brilliant stay at this apartment.
