Valeria was a welcoming, professional and hospitable host. She is clearly a pro at this! The apartment was as shown in the photos. The one thing to be aware of is the location. I know Buenos Aires well. I lived and worked here for five years, was married and had my twins in BA. It's a city I dearly love. Though we now live aboard, my Argentine husband still runs his business out of the Silos de Dorrego - a site of many production houses (and the reason Palermo Hollywood is nicknamed "Hollywood"). We were interested in Valeria's apartment because of its proximity to the Silos de Dorrego. In this regard, it did not disappoint; the landmark complex is just three blocks away. However, I would caution travelers - especially women - not to walk alone in this neighborhood. The apartment is right on the edge of an up-and-coming part of town. It's not in the heart of Palermo Hollywood; it's on the outskirts, next to a garbage collection factory and a sort of impromptu shanty town is right next door. All of my local friends loved how quaint the apartment is and how welcoming it is inside with its quiet terraces (quite rare to be on such a quiet street in bustling BA. It was very peaceful!) That said, none of my friends felt comfortable walking alone outside the apartment door, even to wait briefly for a taxi. This building has no security. As such, you are totally exposed as you fumble to open the door with the charming but complicated heavy European-style keys. To be clear, I never had anything happen during our 10 day stay. Valeria was accommodating, kind and went above and beyond to please. She genuinely wants to offer her home to travelers, and I wish her nothing but luck. I just want to honestly tell folks -- especially foreign women -- that safety may be of concern in this up-and-coming-but-not-quite-there-yet neighborhood. I would readily to return to this apartment in a couple of years when the street is safer.
