The apartment was roomy and comfortable, and everything was as described. Gymnasium is well equipped, with modern, well-maintained equipment. The swimming pool was as nice as it looks in the photos, and the apartment balcony overlooks the pool, so you can take a quick peek and figure out how busy it is down there. Usually, pool was fully occupied on weekends, and deserted during the week.

Neighbourhood is a busy part of Palermo, but the apartment was as quiet as you can hope for, with the bedroom on the side of the building. Air conditioning is good enough to keep you frozen at night, if you want, but the important part is that it keeps you comfortable and sleeping well during the summer heat.

There are lots of great restaurants in walking distance. The subway is a ten minute walk away, and that can pretty much carry you anywhere for a few pesos. Access to the area and the whole city is pretty simple.

Overall, we will return when we are next in BA. No, the apartment is not "cheap", but there really isn't anything that is inexpensive in BA in dollar terms, these days. That will fix itself over time. But if you are looking for a nice and comfortable place to stay, this fits the bill perfectly.
