My mother and I were very happy in Graciela's apartment, based in Recoleta. We stayed there for 3 weeks. It was well located in a good neighbourhood (just down the road from the Recoleta cemetery, on bus routes to MALBA and Palermo, within walking distance of some great neighbourhood restaurants, practically next to the Recoleta Mall and cinema, and within walking distance of the shopping district of Santa Fe).

The apartment is small, but it has a really nice big living space with sofa and dining table, and this is really where we spent most of our time in the apartment. The apartment sleeps 4 (1 double bed and 2 single beds) and I would say that the two bedrooms are a good size for a short term stay for two people. The kitchen is a little small but perfectly easy and convenient to cook in, with fridge, cooker and washing machine for clothes.

Graciela was very prompt to reply to all emails and went above and beyond when it came to answering my many questions. Maria Laura, who looks after the apartment in Graciela's absence, arrived early to welcome me to the apartment and show me around, and she was very quick to respond to all my emails both before and during our holiday, and over Christmas too.

The aircon wasn't working so well in our last few days due to the extreme heat in B.A. in December, but Maria Laura did everything she could to fix this which I appreciated, and was going to get a technician in to check it out once we left. When we arrived, a couple of plates hadn't been properly cleaned and some of the glasses were dirty, which wasn't a huge problem for us (we just washed them ourselves) but I let Maria Laura know anyway, and she immediately arranged for a complementary cleaning which I thought was very good customer service.

All in all, we were very happy with our stay and I would highly recommend this apartment for anyone who wants to have a home away from home in Buenos Aires!
