Fabiana and Gerardo were awesome hosts. Gerardo was waiting for us when we arrived and helped us bringing the luggage upstairs. The apartment is just like portrayed in the pics: a cosy and sunny studio.

The AC is very silent, the shower is excellent and we had cable TV, DVD, wifi (though not very fast - 1mbit), a landline phone to receive calls and a stereo system. The kitchen is ok. There's a small fridge and other appliances. Nearby there's a bunch of coffee shops, grocery stores, drugstores and restaurants. It's MUCH better than a hostel and arguably better than staying at hotels if you consider the price.

The street is not noisy but the same cannot be said about the next door neighbor. We were woken up two or three nights by loud talk and banging when the said person was arriving home late at night with friends. Maybe it was bad luck.

One day the internet stopped working. We sent an email to Fabiana and later on everything was sorted out. We were positively surprised to find an umbrella in the apartment on a rainy day. It really saved our lives.

This studio is very well located. It's within walking distance from Recoleta's Cemetery (where Evita Peron is buried) and a 15 minute walk from a subway station. It's generally better to take the subway in Buenos Aires because cabs are expensive and busses only accept coins (and nobody has change!).

Also, if you're looking for bikes you won't be able to rent the convenient yellow bikes (they have stations all over the city, one very close to the studio) unless you're a Buenos Aires resident. Nevertheless, you can rent bikes in parks and other places, like "The Orange Bike".

We had a good time there and we're probably staying over again if we come back.
