Wow! Can't say enough good things about Mabel's apartment. I am a solo female traveler in Buenos Aires for the first time and this apartment was PERFECT to start my trip. It is very clean, secure and in a perfect location to venture a bit alone- I arrived very late at night and Mabel was there waiting, and showed me everything I needed to know about the keys and the building. The apartment is sunny and charming with the personal touch of Mabel's paintings. The restaurants on the block serve food late and Las Cabras (a must stop parrilla spot) is just on the corner. Mabel and her husband Eduardo are incredibly kind and live very close if there is anything you need. She checked up on me mid week to make sure I had all I needed and was incredibly accommodating. I will definitely stay here again, it really gave me a sense of what living in the city is like.
That being said - this place is for the traveler that wants some night life, that likes to explore a bit of a hip experience. Palermo is young and vibrant and everywhere you turn there is a shop or a cafe. I'm not much of a ' 'tourist' when I visit cities more of a art museum, cool party with locals type - but it is centered enough to get to tourist things like Recoleta or San Telmo or the Parks in Palermo. I HIGHLY suggest staying here.
GRACIAS para todo Mabel & Eduardo! Regresaré pronto!! Besito
