We thoroughly enjoyed our one-month stay in Edith's well-appointed Palermo Chico apartment near Museo Evita. Everything worked, there was plenty of hot water, and the air conditioning made the apartment very comfortable during some hot summer days. Edith is a conscientious, attentive host who responded quickly when we first noticed a couple of kitchen deficiencies. There was no coffee maker, so she immediately bought one for us. There was no large pot to boil pasta or do other cooking, so she brought us a big covered pot. We also appreciated the little things. For instance, the shower has a nonslip surface and a grab bar, so it is safer than typical showers. There is a sliding pocket door between the living area and the bedroom/bathroom area so you can create more privacy and sound separation. The bed is comfortable, and the closet has wood hangers. There are many interior lighting options incorporated into the apartment's design. There is a nice view to the big trees lining the sidewalks and to the beautiful 100-year-old residences across the street. The apartment is high enough for privacy but low enough to watch neighborhood activity on the street.
One disappointment is that the handsome street is noisy with transit buses and delivery trucks. Otherwise we would have enjoyed sitting outside on the balcony.
We greatly appreciated the nearby Eco Parque and Jardín Botánico Carlos Thays. We like to walk, so we were pleased that major museums can be reached on foot from the apartment's location.
Nearby we found some eating options to recommend: La Dorita Botánico on Cabello at Bulnes, La Clotilde at Cerviño and Salguero, and for very inexpensive, not fancy food with the locals, Club Social Gral Alvear on Ruggieri. Be sure to have exquisite empanadas at Pizzería Güimpi V on República Árabe Siria around the corner. We love the chocolatey Florentino wafers at Mangini Confiterías on the corner at Las Heras.
