John made me feel very welcome indeed. He was helpful about anything I needed to know about the apartment but also about BA. His representative Gra, who looked after the apartment and let me in was also charming. It was a pleasure meeting her. There was water in the fridge and wine on the table and a box of Mata - also salt pepper oil etc all the essentials. it was very welcoming. there is a bakery across the road, a greengrocer on the next corner and a supermarket five minutes away and lots of cafes. The road is quiet and the entrance to the apartments is through quite a grand door. inside a narrow hall with lots and lots of plants -and a kitten- leads to the door of the apartment.

The apartment is spacious and homely it has several little balconies, one ŵith a barbecue. i was amazed to find that it had a bath with a jacussi and a bidet. To be honest although the apartment itself was spacious, clean and homely it was quite dated but . that didn't bother me. i had all that space for the same price as I paid for a hotel room round the corner the week before. I would suggest though that the bedroom could do with a little more decoration and another bedside lamp.

it was very well equipped.there was even a yoga mat. The only thing missing was an iron and a hairdryer and a washing machine A though I didn't actually need any of these things to be fair. The kitchen had everything I wanted even a food mixer. The cooker is very old and the numbers have worn off the dials. keep the dial pressed down for a long time when lighting the oven and blowing to encourage the flame to spread helps too.
The famous San Telmo market is literally round the corner and La Boca is about 20 minutes walk. There is an art gallery on the way too. the centre -plaza de Armas and casa rosada and all that are about 20 mintutes away in the other dirctiom. Public transport is good but confusing. taxis are much cheaper than in most cities There is a small lanuage school in Chacabuco two blodks away. i had a week of private conversation lessons there and enjoyed them.
So yes. I would recommend this apartment and if there is anything you need I'm certain that John and Gra will provide you with it if they can. Buen Viaje.
