Location location location - Florencia's apartment is located in Palmero, five minutes away from a shopping mall, the Subte, and plenty of restaurants and grocery stores. Yet it's on one of those quiet BA streets that doesn't get a lot of traffic, which means you're not hearing traffic at all hours of the day.
The apartment itself is also enormous, with two bedrooms and an enclosed balcony that really extends the space. During my time in Argentina, I had trouble sleeping due to the strong sunlight and early sunrise and late sunset... there are a pair of tongue-and-groove wooden blinds that entirely block the sun from reaching into the bedrooms. I feel like it's one of those subtle touches that only a homeowner would put in.
It's absolutely wonderful and I'm so glad we stayed here a week in order to explore the city! I can't wait to return.
