Maria and her son were great hosts, always available either in person or through text messages. The apartment is in a very good location, in a good neighborhood. Public transportation is nearby and taxi cabs are everywhere. The apartment is nicely furnished and very usable, which made for a great stay. The kitchen came with microwave, kettle, and a panini press, besides stove, refrigerator, and a washing machine/dryer combination that was crucial for a comfortable stay. There were all essential kitchen tools (pots, pans, ladles, cutlery, etc., even a knife sharpener and glue) and a good variety of spices and other food. On top of it, Maria and her son let me borrow their blender, which was very important for restricted diet I follow. The neighborhood had a delicious vegan bakery, a fresh pasta store, empanada places, parrillas, two Carrefour stores, many other kinds of outlets, including the Chinese neighborhood, all at walking distance from the apartment. in the four weeks I stayed at Maria's place II had some new and interesting experiences (like sometimes the hot water would not be there), but truly I cannot tell if they were part of the general experience in Argentina or particular to the apartment building. Overall it was a very positive stay for me, and I would contact Maria again if I would need lodging in Buenos Aires.
