The apartment was very nice, clean and modern and looked exactly like the pictures. The location was great. It’s on a corner with a lovely bakery and a lovely cafe across the street. The food at Buenos Aires Bakery and Cafe Traiano were good and the workers at both the bakery and cafe were so nice. It’s so convenient to walk across the street for coffee and pastries.
Federico was very nice and spoke good English. He responded to our issues in a timely manner.
Our stay would have been 5 stars except for a couple of issues. It’s a July in Buenos Aires so it’s cold at night. We were not able to get the heaters in the bedrooms to work even after instructions from Federico via text. We were okay with the bedroom heaters not working since the apartment had a lot of extra blankets to keep us warm and heater in the living area worked.
Our second night the power went out and it didn’t get fixed. We know Federico tried his best to resolve it but we basically didn’t have power at all from 10pm to the time we checked out. We were in the middle of drying our laundry when the power went out. The power knocked out the router so no WiFi.
However, we still enjoyed the apartment. The kitchen was well stocked with cups, plates, pans and tea bags. The shower pressure was fantastic which was important to us.
So overall, I recommend staying at this lovely Recoleta apartment and Federico as a host.
