I had a great experience staying at Jorge's apartment. From the start, Jorge was very professional. He responded to my initial email questions before booking very quickly. I traveled to Buenos Aires with two friends and needed a place to comfortable accommodate all of us. Jorge's apartment worked out well. The apartment has a lot of space and charm as you can see in the pictures. I think it's very nice that Jorge had some basic food items at the apartment - water, juice, fruits, bread, coffee, etc. That came in handy at breakfast time!

Jorge and his wife met us at the apartment pretty late at night when we first got into town and took the time to give us a tour of the home, provide some information about Buenos Aires, and answer any questions we had. It is clear that Jorge takes having an AirBNB very seriously and I appreciated that. He provided lots of helpful tourist information (including names and directions to some of his favorite restaurants) and was always very quick to respond on WhatsApp if I needed help.

In terms of location, there was a laundry service and fruit stand across the street was very convenient! My friend and I went out at midnight when we first got into town in search of food and although the surrounding streets were pretty empty at night, it seemed safe and we had no problems. We ended up getting empanadas from a small corner bar that had about 6 guys sitting inside a bit drunk but very friendly. I did have one cab driver tell me the neighborhood was dangerous, but that was not my experience at all. She also claimed the apartment was in Boca not Barracas though so that may have been the confusion. We walked around pretty late at night every night and it seemed perfectly safe.

As a tip to anyone who stay's at Jorge's, it seems the address is not well known to cab drivers. I would make note of the neighborhood, the park that is nearby, and the cross-street. All of that will help. Most cab drivers did not know the street but they knew the park and the cross-street. A few of the cab drivers disputed what neighborhood the apartment is actually in, but I think that's because it's so close to the border of a few.
