First, Mariana was a great host. She answered all our questions promptly and greatly facilitated a very late check-in and late check-out. We stayed in her apartment for a three day weekend, and had a very good time.

As others have mentioned, the location is fantastic. We are fortunate to live somewhat near to Buenos Aires and can visit on weekends and normally stay in Recoleta - and the location of this apartment is in the ideal part of the neighborhood. For us, this is the best location in Buenos Aires.

With regards to the apartment itself, it was very clean and tidy, and has a nice balcony for a couple to sit on and have a drink after a long day. The air conditioning was great and the water heater also functioned well. The one observation I would make is that it is rather small and on the "older" side, with a somewhat compact bathroom and low water pressure in the shower. Aside from the balcony it is not an ideal apartment to hang out/lounge in (which most people do not do in Buenos Aires anyhow). When traveling with other adults we have stayed in larger, more modern apartments situated within a couple blocks of this apartment for a few dollars more per night, so if you are a party of greater than two adults and are looking for a place to hang out in and relax (and one that has more modern amenities) you may want to shop around. Also, we were happy it was just the two of us because there is only one real bead in the house (which is very comfortable!). The other two are actually a sofa and a sofa sleeper as shown in the photo on Airbnb. So unless you are travelling with children, the other two beds may fall short of expectations for adults.

Overall we really enjoyed our stay, and for a couple it is a great option in Recoleta.

Thank you Mariana!
