I really liked the area where the apartment is located. Buenos Aires has done a lot to make this part of town more pedestrian friendly and I would stay in this area again on a future visit. At night, it can be a bit desolate, but I was never scared. There are a bunch of mini-grocery stores nearby. As for the apartment, the building is beautiful, with gorgeous front doors, elevator shaft, and marble stairway. It must have been incredible in its prime. I love old buildings so this was great. The value for the money was also good, though it lacked several conveniences in the kitchen (corkscrew, vegetable peeler, can opener). There is a dog that barks that shares the same patio area, though the patio is divided for privacy, it sounds like the dog is inside the apartment, stopping any conversation or TV program. Luckily, at night, they take the dog inside but he starts barking fairly early at times. There is also a large, dangerous, opening in the upstairs bedroom which serves as a way for air to enter the upstairs. Because of this, there is no way to sleep upstairs if someone is watching TV downstairs. The opening would not be good for children or if someone is tipsy. The one thing I have to warn is the tub is refinished with very little flat area to stand and as soon as the soap hits it becomes super slippery. We had to put a towel down in the shower to not fall, so I would absolutely not recommend this place for older people. All being said, if the tub were removed and a regular shower was installed, I would stay here again for the price. I do think the hostess should work on her hosting skills, however.
