I stayed at Gustavo's place for 6 weeks, after staying in an Airbnb in Palermo Viejo for 3 weeks. As a woman traveling alone, it was important for me to find a place that was well-located and safe to walk around day and night. This apartment is close to two subway lines and a myriad bus lines, plus an easy and scenic walk to many of the city's attractions, such as the Recoleta cemetery, Museo de Bellas Artes, MALBA, etc. The neighborhood is very residential, but there are plenty of cafes and restaurants around for hanging out and eating out. There's a big Coto supermarket around the corner (one of the best places to exchange USD or Euros, btw!), plus a bunch of smaller supermarkets and specialty shops all around the neighborhood. Gustavo was a very friendly, understanding, and welcoming host throughout. There's a lovely cleaning lady, Olga, who comes once a week, and the building's custodian, Marcelo, takes good care of the common areas. Gustavo is usually on hand, too, since he lives in the area and is renovating the apartment next door (it looks amazing!). Gustavo pretty much built and furnished the whole place single-handedly, even the platform for the bed and the closet, as well as all the furniture. When I suggested installing a screen over the bathroom window to keep the bugs out, he promptly did that. He also brought in a microwave, a new electric kettle, etc. While the place is small, the space is really used well so the apartment is very comfortable, and the kitchen is well-appointed. Having the AC is also a necessity in the summer, though I was able to get away with sleeping with the doors and windows open (and shutters closed) most of the time. I recommend ear plugs if you're sensitive to noise. There's no street noise, but it's a densely populated residential neighborhood, so you might hear other people in the building or the building next door. The apartment gets good light for most of the day, and has excellent wifi. One thing folks should keep in mind is that, as in most places in the world, the windows and doors to the patio don't come with screens, so in the summer months you will get some bugs flying in, and there are some small slugs in the yard that crawl out after it rains. I'd find them on the shutters, and a couple of times they crawled into the apartment. Since I'm not a fan but didn't want to touch them, I usually got them to crawl back out by blowing on them or fanning them in the direction I'd want them to go! Doves and sparrows also frequent the patio, which is quite cute. There was also an adorable little gecko that came inside and hung out. Also, the mosquitoes in the city are vicious, but there are plug-in repellents that help (Raid tablets work better than Fuyi, in my experience). So if you're the...
