We enjoyed a pleasant stay at Phillipe’s apartment. It’s spacious, open and artfully decorated. The apartment stayed cool without using the air conditioner because of the cross-breeze. The view of the city is stunning, with gorgeous sunrises and sunsets. (The zoo will soon close to become an ecological park, with renovations planned for the grounds.) Angelica, our host, is kind, helpful and speaks very good English. She was available when needed and can recommend good milongas around town for those who tango. The kitchen and bathrooms are fully equipped, clean and modern. The provided hairdryer has a type A (USA) plug with no dual voltage listed, so we used our own, to be safe. The internet worked well, and we had the conveniences we needed for our week’s trip to the city. The apartment is on a quiet street with a quick walk to some nice outdoor cafés and patisseries (Tiendas Naturales is fantastic for health food lovers). A short taxi ride will get you to Soho, Abasto, the Plaza de Mayo and the puerto. I recommend Phillipe’s home and would stay here again.
