We enjoyed staying in James' apartment. It's in a great location - in Recoleta which means you can easily get to neighbourhoods like San Telmo and Palermo easily. It's a short walk to the metro and taxis pass by every 10 seconds.

The apartment itself is beautiful and large with antique furniture and oil paintings. Bed v comfy and rooms are huge, each with private bathroom. We visited in winter and the heating was very welcome as the ceilings are so high and liable to be drafty.

The kitchen is slightly less beautiful than the main rooms of the apartment (!) but is functional, and is the place where wifi can be accessed. Reception is patchy or non existent in other rooms - not a big issue unless you need to be online to work for periods of time.

James was away when we stayed, so we got immediate help for the odd thing from the building super, Santos who was v helpful indeed - although I'm told doesn't have a lot of English. A bit of Spanish therefore v useful!

There's a nice cafe called Tea Connection across the road for breakfast and coffee and lots of decent restaurants within walking distance.

All in all a very pleasant stay in Recoleta!
