This apartment in Palermo is absolutely as delightful as it looks in the photos. It easily sleeps four in two comfortable bedrooms with quality mattresses on the beds (the hosts can install single beds in one of the rooms if preferred). There is a lounge with sofas, books, city guides and a music system set up for iPod; a fully equipped kitchen with dining area -- and of course the wonderful, spacious terrace with full outdoor grill in best Argentinian style. Everything in the apartment is spotlessly clean.

The location is the best of both worlds -- on a quiet street, for a peaceful night's sleep, but only about five blocks' walk from the Palermo nightlife (Plaza Armenia / Plaza Serrano). The Scalabrini Ortiz metro station is about 15 minutes' walk away.

Sergio and Carolina are the perfect hosts, friendly, attentive and organised. Their pre-arrival communication was very efficient, and they called a radio taxi for our departure. They also provide guests with top-up charge cards for the bus and metro network.

Access to the guest apartment is through a shared portion of Carolina and Sergio's own home, which provides extra security and opportunities for chatting!

Highly recommended.
