We stayed in Sebastian's loft for a month. We'd been traveling for eight months and it made a great rest for us. We cooked in the well-equipped kitchen, joined a nearby gym (Crossfit Tuluka), and took tango lessons at Fundacion Tango just around the corner. It felt as though we lived in BA rather than hanging out in touristy areas. The neighborhood is between Palermo Hollywood and Villa Crespo, both of which have good restaurants, coffee shops, and the like, but it's not central BA. It's quite far from the normal attractions of the city (Boca, San Telmo, etc.), but they're reachable by bus (1 hour) or taxi (30 min or so).
Things to note:
- The bed is incredibly comfortable and big
- Best washing machine ever
- The street is noisy. We slept just fine, but may not be good for light sleepers, and it makes the patio less pleasant
- Veggie and meat shops down the street if you like to cook
- The apartment wasn't very clean when we arrived, and the bed wasn't made. This may have been a fluke but was disappointing after 46 hours of travel from Tanzania
- The manager, Guillermo, was incredibly friendly and helpful!
We would definitely return. We find ourselves missing the neighborhood. It's walkable, so we walked off all that delicious ice cream from Occo Helados nearby. Plus there's some really cool street art in Villa Crespo - great to stumble on! It was a true BA experience and exactly what we were looking for.
