We had a great stay at Marcela y Miguel’s for our 9 days in Buenos Aires. We were travelling with a 6 month old baby and Marcela accommodated us for an early check-in since we were arriving in the morning - this allowed us to have a family nap, which was much appreciated! Miguel also met us, even with some later than expected arrival due to traffic. The hosts also left some snacks and a welcome bottle of wine, which was very thoughtful.
The amenities worked great for us to prepare breakfast each morning and even when the wifi and hot water were not initially working, Marcela was quick to find a solution for us. The door staff are also really friendly and the neighbourhood feels super safe and was in walking distance to some yummy restaurants, beautiful parks, bus stops/subte (they even left us a subte card so we could avoid this step) and we were able to take advantage of the common washer/dryer - purchasing tokens from a shop Marcela can direct you to.
During soccer matches, noise was inevitable in the neighbourhood but this all tends to end before 11pm and is not a nightly occurrence. The apartment itself faces a street, which is busy in the day but quiet at night and the large window/doors provide good noise cancellation when closed. The upstairs neighbour has a dog that is very excited to see them upon their return but as a reference, our baby was able to sleep through all of it and no noise was ever present through the night.
The couch is not very comfortable, but this should not be an issue for most people who are not housebound with baby by 6pm :) we found the bed very comfortable and big.
Overall Marcela was a wonderful host and we would be happy to stay here again and recommend her apartment.
Muchas Gracias a todos!
