Elisa's appartment is on the top floor of a very quiet appartment building block in lively Recoleta. It is about 20 minutes walk from the Retiro train station.
The elevator brings you to the second-to-last floor, and you have to walk the remaing stairs to get to the appartment. The appartment seems to be dedicated to guests and Elisa does not live there. However, during my stay she was very concerned for my wellbeing and regularly made sure that everything was fine. The premises were very clean and ready for me when I came in.
I rented the appartment for 2 weeks and it was very adequate. It consists of a bedroom with a confortable bed for two people, a large common living room with sofas and a diner table, a small kitchen and a bathroom with a bath. The appartment is nicely decorated. The kitchen is well-equiped so it is possible to cook, and there are numerous small supermarkets around the block to find food. Elisa made arrangements with me to have a cleaning lady to come once during my stay, to keep the premises clean.
The only small glitch that I did not anticipate is that the doorman does only speak spanish while I don't. I came late in the afternoon and Elisa was not available to welcome me: she had given me written instructions on how to get in the appartment. Unable to explain to the doorman the situation, I eventually showed him the instructions (written in spanish and that a friend had translated for me) and this ended up very useful to convince him to let me in!
However, beside this small yet easily resolved problem overall I had a lovely stay, and I would definitely recommend Elisa's appartment.
