I almost don't want to write this review so I can keep this secret to myself! The photos were a selling point but don't do justice to the experience itself! We arrived expecting much less and got a great deal more in terms of spaciousness, location, comfort and safety.
I would say the ONLY downside to this place is that you can hear people walking around upstairs (if they are wearing heels!) Fortunately, those times were minimal and usually we were on the same schedule anyway.
Hilda is the house manager and we had a lovely first introduction and she showed me the place and answered a lot of my questions. It was a really nice way to start off the visit, given what a lovely person she seems to be!
The apartment really DOES feel like home to me. The amenities are compact, efficient and functional for every day use and everything is squeaky clean. The real beauty of this apartment is that there are windows everywhere, letting light in all day long. The balcony spans the entire unit, which is unique and at night you can pull down the shutters and sleep like a baby! The beds are super comfortable and the building is extra safe, with 24-hour tv monitoring of the front door right from the flat screen TV in the living room.
Also a major plus is that this apartment is in Palermo in a quiet but accessible neighborhood with lots of closeby restaurants and parks. If you want hustle, bustle, this is not the place for you but if you want to have a home away from home and be part of a beautiful, cosmopolitan Argentinian vibe, then this is definitely the place! We'll be back again. Thanks Stacy....
