The apartment is well-located in Recoleta, with plenty of great cafés and lots of people going about their daily lives. The balcony is a great place to read, as Kiki says. The apartment itself is very quiet, as it faces a courtyard, not a street. I was there for work, and the apartment was a good place for that. Kiki knows Buenos Aires well and is a great source of information about politics, history and literature. In fact, her library is well-stocked (most books are in Spanish) so I also took advantage of her reading suggestions.
