We had a fabulous experience in Chris's apartment in Recoleta. The place was managed by Cecilia and her dad Raul. Ceclia was traveling when we arrived, but Chris and Raul arranged for a driver to meet us at the airport and bring us to the apartment, where Raul was waiting with instructions and tips. The apartment itself was lovely--high ceilings, heavy doors, and many well-constructed shelves and other built-ins. The neighborhood was super-convenient. There were scores of cafes and restaurants within blocks, a laundry around the corner that would wash, dry and fold within a day at a very reasonable price (and offer neighborhood tips for free). There is a fancy hotel next door and, perhaps for that reason, we never waited more than two or three minutes for a radio taxi. We would be very happy to stay there again if we return to Buenos Aires.
