Deigo is a wonderful host!

He offered to have someone pick us up at the airport for $50 USD, but we decided to go with a taxi instead. (Read that the "white taxi" would be $35. It's not. Go with Diego's offer.)

Our plane was two hours late. Having no mobile service in Bs.As. and not being able to ring through, thankfully the apartment building's security (locked gates - very safe!) was able to call him and he was over within 5 minutes. He took us up and the apartment is great!! There were three of us. There are two bedrooms, one with two singles, one with a queen. The single beds are very firm, the queen slightly less so. (For one of us, they were all too firm, so she slept on the couch. It's a very comfortable couch.) This is NOT a bad thing, everyone has different opinions on mattress firmness. She just preferred the couch. It also meant we each had our own room, so that worked out well for us anyway.

The listing doesn't say they have essentials (towels, toilet paper, soap, dishes, etc.), but they do. Depending on how many you are and how long you are staying, you may need to buy extra toilet paper or something, but there is a grocery half a block away. (We bought one 4-pack just in case. We didn't even go through two of the extra rolls, I don't think.)

The kitchen is well-appointed with glasses, plates and silverware all for use. There were ice cubes ready to use (water in building is fine to drink - we all did), which was great, as it is pretty hot in Bs. As. The air conditioning was great! After spending all day outside in the heat, it was nice to return to the room.

More even than the terrific apartment was Diego's contact with us. There was one issue that was fixed the next morning. (One toilet wasn't flushing, but we had a second toilet, so we told him it wasn't at all a rush.)

Additionally, we were able to reach out for suggestions and he was very quick to reply. We went to Colonia instead of Montevideo. He booked our Tango show for us, left our name at the door. He suggested some restaurants in the area (go to Guido's Italian - there is no menu, they just feed you whatever they are serving for the day; check out TripAdvisor for reviews). I can't remember all the things he helped us with, but he's definitely very attentive to the needs of his guests.

One suggestion - If you don't want to use your mobile service while you are there, sign up for What's App. He has it, and wherever you can access WiFi, you can contact him. (WiFi available in many places, but can be slow in some. Not in the apartment though - was great!)

You won't regret booking this apartment.
