Raul’s house and hospitality are amazing. If you like unusual architectural gems, look no further: it’s a super spacious split level beautifully decorated house. If you are curious and ask questions, Raul will tell you lots of stories about his house, his city and his country. I’ve felt I was staying at a friend’s house. He organised a taxi from the airport for me, helped me with exchanging money at a blue rate, he even took me for a day drive outside of BA to see small towns and listen to music in local pulperia.
The house is in a really nice neighbourhood, very close to San Telmo market, Lezama Park and walking distance from Puerto Madera. You get a proper local feeling living in that neighbourhood. The only downside of this big beautiful house is its acoustics: you hear everything from a dog’s barking upstairs to radio to peoples’ voices. No street noises though, since the house is in a quiet residential area.
As for me I’d stay there again: you rarely find such architectural gems with a host who lives there and makes you feel at home. Many of the other Airbnb places in BA run as businesses, which undermines the initial idea of the platform itself.
Raul, thanks for your hospitality! I hope to come back again!
