Alejandro was a wonderful host and the location of his place can’t be beat! Located in Palermo Soho, this apartment has a grocery store, restaurants, and a gym (Always Gym—nicer than even some US gyms I’ve been to) on the SAME block! It’s an 8-10min walk to the subway station in one direction and about the same distance to Plaza Serrano (bars, boutiques, and restaurants) in the other direction. The place was clean and the amenities were in great working condition. Alejandro was very quick to respond when we needed some help (ie. relighting a pilot light during a routine gas shut off) since some building maintenance came up during our month-long stay. He let me borrow his subway card during my stay, and even lent me some Argentine pesos in the beginning because I only had a small amount and banks were closed on weekends in Argentina (which I was not aware of). As two female students doing an elective at University of Buenos Aires for a month, we felt comfortable and safe in this place!
