Mabel and her husband did everything possible to assure a good experience. Mabel met us at the apartment with the keys and waited even though we were quite late in arriving. There was excellent communication, and Mabel was easy to get hold of and responded quickly. We also had a great experience with the shuttle/taxi driver that Mabel recommended. His name is Sr. Mario, he is very reliable, exactly on time, and charges half the going rate for transportation to and from the airport.
The apartment was very light, even in the winter, and was delightfully decorated with energetic and colorful artwork that Mabel painted herself. There were many restaurants, a laundry service, and a grocery store all within a block of the location. If you dance tango, this location is close to many of the most popular milongas. The area is serviced by many bus lines, however, it is about a 10-15 minute walk to get to the underground subway line. The apartment is small, but quite comfortable for up to two people.
Thank you for providing such a well furnished kitchen so that cooking and cleaning were an ease! All kitchen appliances worked well (we did not try to use the oven so I don't know if it works or not).
We can only hope that we have the good fortune to return to this fabulous city and stay in this great apartment again!
