Gabriela is a wonderful host, she took care about everything! When there was a problem, for example with the internet, she very quickly organized to get a new one installed from an other, better provider. She is very responsive and always on time.
About the apartment: I'm quite often staying in Buenos Aires (in total 1 1/2 years now) and this part of the city is by far my favorite location. It is in the center of everything, you are quickly downtown but also close to all the restaurants in Palermo Soho, Hollywood and also Chico. You have the subway around the corner and a lot of taxis passing. And the very best: you have the wonderful botanic garden just one block away!
It is not a snobbish or hipster part of the city (like Hollywood) but the home of normal middle class families. Therefore it is not just secure, you actually also feel save there. There are tons of small shops around for everything you might need, very good restaurants and the relaxed cafes on Santa Fe.
I enjoyed the apartment, the duplex layout is great. Even it has huge windows, there are big trees in front of them, the opposite neighbors can't look into the bedroom, so don't worry about privacy. It has everything you need even for a longer stay (also the so often missed can opener ;)
Thanks Gabriela, hope to come back soon!
