Mariana's place is a great central location for exploring Buenos Aires and Ricoleta is a perfect part of the city but do be prepared to walk quite a ways since the city is quite large! Mariana's daughter met us both at check in and check out and made sure we had everything we needed and enjoyed our stay. The apartment had all the necessities, including a new bed and good AC. We very much enjoyed hanging out on the patio. Overall a great experience and would stay again!
