Our second trip to Buenos Aires was wonderful for two reasons - John's house was the perfect place to stay and Palermo-Soho is the perfect neighborhood to live in. Three reasons actually - Buenos Aires is one of the most exciting cities you can ever hope to visit. Martin, John's manager, arranged for a driver to meet us at the airport and was waiting at the house to get us settled. The house is simply and beautifully furnished. It's large, comfortable and clean. I've rarely been in a place where I felt so free to just relax. It's stocked with everything you need if you want to cook and in the middle of a neighborhood with so many good places to eat you don't have to cook. The rooftop was just what we needed - a super-cozy place to chill, read, nap, and take a plunge in the pool. There is a safe in every bedroom and when I stupidly locked myself out of it, Ignacio came over and patiently walked me through it again. Every request I made was handled by Martin, Ignacio and Juan. We could not have felt safer and more welcome, They even found us a one day charter boat out to Tigre - a must-do if you're in Buenos Aires during Argentine summer. Palermo-Soho is a lively, colorful and fun neighborhood - many cafes, restaurants, stores, and beautiful architecture. We visited other neighborhoods but found we preferred getting to know Buenos Aires a little bit just outside our doorstep.
This was the first time I rented with Airbnb and I could not have been more satisfied. If John and his house are any indication, it's a great way to travel.
