My boyfriend checked in to the apartment first and I arrived later, but all went well, check in was easy and as scheduled. I stayed for approximately 1 month in this apartment and it was great. The building itself was quiet. Sigi and her mom were both easily accessible and responded to messages very quickly whenever needed to answer questions. The building manager was also incredibly friendly and helpful with anything we needed.

The apartment had everything we needed, including sheets / towels, a comfortable bed, enough space for two people, television and cable and the wifi worked well. The kitchen was sufficiently equipped with most things you would need for a short stay (Pots / pans / plates / utensils - stove top and oven). Most people on a short stay eat out a lot, but it was certainly equipped well enough to cook meals on your own if you wanted.

The apartment is clean and well taken care of.

Accessible by buses 59 & 64 almost to your doorstep. A range of other buses available within two streets. About a 45 - 60 minute walk to Plaza Italia in Palermo. Approximately $100 - $120 Pesos taxi ride to San Telmo or a 1 hour bus ride depending on the time of day.

The area itself was calm, quiet and safe. I spent a lot of time working on my computer from cafes in the area and walking around by myself with no issues. Although, all of the buildings are secure, many have security guards or doormen and often stores are locked in the evening, only allowing entrance to those who they approve. It appeared to be for a precaution and I never saw any difficulties.

There are several small grocery stores within two minutes walk. Lots of nice cafes ... give Tienda de Cafe a try on Frederico Lacrose (Tibia de lomo ensalada. YUM!) or Pit Deli on Soldado de la Independencia. Both were lovely spots to eat and / or work for a few hours. Oh yes, and Mamie bakery also on Soldado de la Independencia for yummy pastries.

Don't expect anything for night life in the immediate vicinity, but the heart of Palermo is easily accessible by bus or a $50 - $60 peso taxi. Palermo Hollywood lights up the night with lots of trendy restaurants and cafes Thursday through Saturday.

Most things are closed down on Sunday, so make sure you do any errands on weekdays.

Lots of green space and parks near by and a Freddo Ice Cream Cafe within two blocks.

Overall, the apartment and location were great for a laid back, quiet stay. If you are looking to be in the heart of the nightlife, this isn't the best choice, but if you like privacy and a quiet more residential area, you'll be very happy here.

I had a lovely stay.
