I normally write very short reviews, but I feel this will be an exception!
Let me start with the location. Palermo SOHO is right in the middle of everything anyone of any age would want.
We travel with a 5 year old and we were 3 blocks from the zoo and botanical garden, we were 4-5 blocks to different parks with amenities for the little one.
We then got a sitter for one night, and were able to do a bit of a bar crawl, all within walking distance or a cheap cab ride! I thoroughly recommend bar 878, at 878 Thames St. There are a myriad of options. We should have had a sitter every night !!
The apartment. Clean, spacious, well appointed, heaps of great water pressure (something we love), modern, Fast WiFi (we were working through our time there); I am not sure what else we could have wanted.
The pool on the 19th floor was great during the hot days. The gym on the ground floor, free and very clean. If you hit the basement, there are 2 washing machines and two dryers. You can do your washing and drying in a little over 1.5 hours; about as long as it takes to down a bottle of Malbec with 4 empanadas from across the road. Get your tokens from the friendly security guy at the gate.
The host. Emanuel was super responsive. From the little things such as getting some fresh towels in a little over 15 minutes from my request; to him hooking me up with local currency as a courtesy when I arrived into the country. No one has ever done that for me in the past.
Mind you I use exclusively AirBnb for all our family and business travel.
In addition, when I had some issues with my credit card, he was able to get me a couple of alternatives (all within 100 meters) to get cashed up.
Finally, on our last day there, he was able to look after our luggage and helped us out on our way out.
Overall, I have been to Argentina 5 times, and stayed in a number of different places. I can easily say that you will struggle to find a better and more responsive host. The apartment was top notch!
Gracias Ema!
