The apartment was clean and felt brand new, like no one else had been there before. It beautifully decorated - simple, white, and very peaceful. The view was a HUUUUUUGE bonus. I was stunned and felt so lucky to be there.
The location is extremely walkable. I am a 34 year old female traveling alone. There were a few nights I had to go get water or snacks from the nearby kiosko/markets and felt totally safe. There’s a restaurant directly across the street from the entrance. Multiple cafes just across from the Main Street. An OPI nail salon is nearby.
MANY MANY museums and attractions are minutes away. I also run every morning and I had plenty of options for places to run in the morning. It was no more than a 15 minute Uber ride to get to shopping malls (I went to different malls whilst I was there) and 15 minutes Uber to Palermo (where there are MANY great restaurants).
I was in Buenos Aires during the hot climate months. The AC worked quick and efficiently. The shower worked beautifully. The water was perfectly able to control the temp. It had a clean bathtub I took baths in frequently.
The bed was clean. It smelled clean and fresh. Bright white with no hairs or stains. I had a lot of work and meetings to do while I was in Buenos Aires, so a clean comfortable bed was key. It was fantastic.
I honestly have zero complaints. For the value I received in turn for what I paid was above and beyond. I’m already planning to go back. It made my stay in Buenos Aires so much more pleasurable.
The stay was amazing. I have stayed at another of Frederico’s other listings in Palermo-Hollywood as well. He does a great job. I had a very bad experience with another Air BnB in Colegiales and needed to get out of there asap because it was smelly and dirty. Frederico was able to get me checked into THIS Retiro apartment quickly and smoothly. I highly-highly recommend booking this apartment or any listing of Frederico’s.
