We stayed 18 days.
Pía was very kind to us when we checked in very late at night.
The kitchen was unusually well equipped for cooking and eating in. We did appreciate that Pía had left coffee for us so we could have freshly brewed coffee our first morning.
Having said that, we didn’t cook much. Pía gave us excellent recommendations for coffee shops and eateries within walking distance. At her recommendation, on the first day we went to Como en Casa and it was dreamy.
The place looks just like in the pictures; no surprises there, including that bec the street is quite narrow the buildings across the street appear very close in real life. But that’s big city living (which is why we came to Buenos Aires) and we quickly got used to it.
There is street noise consistent with being in a downtown area but it is like having our white noise app turned on. Again, we got used to it quickly except for the alarms of 3 garage doors in our block that beeped off and on most days. It was ok if the balcony door was closed. We didn’t hear them at night.
The apartment has very strong and steady internet which was indispensable for meetings.
There were a couple of odd moments but we connected with Pía and she was great offering solutions. Specifically, we have stayed in Airbnbs all over and — even though there was a note in the apartment that a cleaning person would be coming weekly — when we called to schedule it we were told cleaning wasn’t included. We would have liked to know that before making the choice to stay there.
For longer stays it’s great that the apartment has laundry equipment.
