I've been given what I want this review to say a lot of thought. I wish I could give this 5 stars because if i wasn't for the estress I felt as a result of the GIANT Cockroach issue, I would.
Let's start with the positives. Yes, there are some. I am reasonable person. The apartment is open, airy, beautiful. New furnishings. New! Lots of room. The kitchen is immaculate. Daniel provides everything you need to feel at home. I didn't feel I was missing anything. I had enough garbage bags, soap, towels etc. The laundry room was such a great thing to have! The location was good but not my favourite place in the city. Still, central to almost everything and just 2 blocks from craft brewers area of town.
The negatives: On Day 1 we were greeted with a GIANT sized cockroach. Like HUGE. The mother of all roaches. This carried on for 3 days. While Daniel was apologetic and his intentions were good, he did a mediocre job at remedying the issue. He placed roach traps (for small kitchen type roaches) but this didn't solve it because these massive beasts were still finding their way in from either outside the windows or pipes. I kept the windows and sliding door closed most of the time. Not sure. Yes, Buenos Aires does tend to have these large-sized red roaches in the city, but being an Argentinean-Canadian myself, who has lived in several places in the city, this is the first time I've come across such a scene. We didn't sleep well (paranoid that a roach would be near use and on our bed etc) because the problem didn't get resolved and finding an alternative unfortunately was not possible. I wish the situation had been dealt with differently but we have now moved on and hope we never have an experience like that again. I hope that Daniel and Silvia never have an incident like this again as well because it's beautiful place in the beautiful city and wish others could enjoy its full potential. All the best!
