If you're looking for a spacious New York-style loft with all the amenities you might need, then look no further. Me and my girlfriend stayed at Syl's place for a month as the first stop in our new life as digital nomads. As a software engineer, I was dependent on having the practical things in order: high-speed internet, separate workspace and still be close to where things happen, while being quiet at night(sort of an oxymoron I guess). Oh yeah and safe! For me this ticked all the boxes.
We actually tried to book another apartment in the building but the current tenant decided to extend, so Syl provided us with this one which we are really happy for in hindsight! We mostly communicated with Tati who works with Syl and she was very quick to reply to our WhatsApp and was really helpful!
In addition to the apartment, there is a rooftop pool with a tiny café right next to it (that has wifi), and a huge garden. At the start of our stay, the pool area was always relatively occupied (however mostly by people sunbathing on the sunbeds), but the number of people was reduced half-way through our stay. Not a big deal as there are many sunbeds, and if not bring a towel and use the wonderful soft grass.
If you are to use the gym, make sure you have a flexible routine in mind as the equipment is a bit dated and also the people using it are moving between 2-3 machines/spots making it a little frustrating. The treadmills are also relatively old and the displays are gone, making it difficult to make out what pace you are running at etc. But! There is a gym and you can work out so better than no gym, its sort of bonus many probably won't even take advantage of.
PS: There is no aircondition in the gym :/
PS2: There is a gym 300m from the apartment that was 2800 pesos a month if you need a more modern gym :)
The only thing we would say could be improved is that the cleaning could've been a bit more detailed in some places, but all in all we are very happy with our stay. And maybe a bit longer bed 😅 I'm 190cm and if I sleep "normally" my feet were just outside the bed, but the bed was really comfortable.
Other tips for staying a while:
- The laundry tokens you can buy from the security guard and the laundry room is just down the hall!
- Vea is a big supermarket that has most of what you'd need (we were a bit let down by supermarkets in Argentina in general) and all in one place.
- HAMMOCK! That thing was amazing to have, and I used it for all my Zoom meetings.
- You have most basic utensils to make food with, but not necessarily the most complicated meals. (Not a problem if you want to eat out everyday, because there are so many restaurants just a 5-10min walk)
