Our group of 6 found Casabierta to be charming, comfortable, and excellently located in a lively neighborhood, Palermo Soho. We enjoyed exploring the innumerable restaurants, cafés, and interesting shops within walking distance. We were happy and comfortable in the house, found everything we needed in the kitchen. and enjoyed sitting out on the rooftop terrace in the evening. It was great to have a Jacuzzi and ample hot water for showers, and we especially appreciated the air conditioning in January, which was quiet and efficient. We felt well connected to the rest of Buenos Aires via the public buses (colectivos), which stop within blocks of the house. The house is cozy and inviting and we felt very much at home there. We give the house very high marks, but we give the hosts Augusto and Carina even higher marks. Carina’s homemade breakfast was a lavish and abundant spread that was delicious and beautifully presented. We can’t imagine finding a better host than Augusto. He is tops in our book: he went several extra miles, both literally and figuratively, to see that our stay in Buenos Aires was a positive experience. Responsive, attentive and helpful are understatements in describing Augusto: he showed us an unusual generosity of spirit and treated us like family, which turned out to be one of the high points of our trip.
