Gustavo responded to many emails before I actually rented the apartment, and then after I listed but before I arrived. He had great resources of information and when I actually met him at check-in it was meeting a friend. There is all you need within a couple blocks of the apartment, regarding groceries and places to eat, and subways are nearby to access the entire city. It is not so busy a part of BA and there is a family atmosphere within the neighborhood. I loved the kitchen where you can actually cook, and keep things in a good size refrigerator, and I loved the bathroom- roomie, and the balcony to sit and drink a coffee. The top deck with the pool is an oasis from the city and, once experienced, you will go into withdraw when you leave. Perfect!
