The apartment is very airy and bright, and is a pleasant, well-organized space. With high ceilings, many double doors, and a wood floor, the place is quite charming. The kitchen is well-equipped and very usable. The air conditioning and bedroom ceiling fan work well, as does the washer-dryer. There is a moderate amount of noise during the day, since the apartment opens onto an indoor air well and the building had many dogs, but everything quiets down at night completely. The apartment would be exceptionally quiet were it not for the low rumble of air conditioner noise from a neighboring building. The apartment is on the top floor and the roof of the neighboring building is adjacent.
If you are interested in tango, the location is excellent, and many milongas are within walking distance. The subway (Subte) is very close, and a major north-south street with many buses is also quite close. The neighborhood is a mixture of arty and poor, with wonderful architectural details on many buildings. The apartment is in a building across from a major police station and police are on duty outside, in front of their building (and ours) all the time. This makes for a special feeling of safety if you are coming home quite late.
Ura is wonderful to deal with, and the resident "doorman" who fixes things and keeps the building in great shape, Alberto, is very helpful.
