Ramiro was very accommodating on quite short notice. We booked the day before we arrived (we had been staying at another air BnB in Palermo but could not extend there) and Ramiro ensured that the super was there to give us keys and was flexible on check in time. He mentioned that his sister in law who normally looks in on the apartment was sick and could not meet us. This could explain a few of the downsides of the apartment. But first, the pros are the the apartment was in a wonderful location for exploring into palermo viejo and palermo Hollywood while alsoclose to the subte to go elsewhere. Good living/dining room space.
Cons: unfortunately the apartment did not seem to have been throughly cleaned before we checked in. This was especially noticeable in the bathroom where the floors and walls showed signs of the previous guests. The bars of soap were used and the shower curtain torn. Plus no matter what we did there was a puddle on the ground of the small bathroom everytime we showered. We put down a towel (as there was no bathmat) but this was not enough. Overall the bathroom really could use an upgrade/new coat of paint. The sheets on the bed were very thin and also showed signs that they may not have been washed (hair that was not our own) so we used our sleep sacks. We did let Ramiro know that there was no toilet paper or dish soap provided and he offered to reimburse us if we purchased some or we were to ask the super.
The apartment is an internal one (as stated in the description) so noise from the street cannot be heard. However, everything from the neighbors facing the courtyard could be heard and the walls between neighbors thin.
Overall Ramiro was a responsive and welcoming host but the downside is that he is not in Buenos Aires to see the apartment he rents. I don't like leaving bad reviews but we felt that given what we paid ($50 CAD) for just a couple dollars more (we paid $55 previously for an apartment withe a terrace/natural light/new bathroom) you could get more comfort.
