Maria did a great job of organizing our arrival into the apartment, even though she could not be there herself. She told us which taxi company to use from the airport and her helper, Jose Luis, welcomed us into the apartment. He did not speak English, which could have been problematic had I not been able to speak Spanish. Once he had showed us around and left, Maria called the apartment immediately to explain things if we couldn't understand everything Jose Luis had said, and to make sure we were settling in comfortably. The apartment was very chic and comfortable for three or even four people, had there been an extra mattress. Maria and I stayed in contact through email the entire time we stayed in Buenos Aires, and she answered questions we had and gave suggestions about what to do to enhance our visit since it was our first time in the city. The apartment was located on a safe, nice street in the funky San Telmo, just a few blocks away from the famous Plaza Dorrego. It was also close to a metro line and walkable to the Centro during the daytime. Maria was flexible with the checkout time as well, and even ordered us a taxi to take us to the domestic airport for our flight out. Our experience at Maria's apartment was very pleasant and positive, though the only negative aspect was that the large window in the bedroom does not close properly and makes the room extremely cold at night (during the winter). Unfortunately, I caught a bad cold from sleeping in there because of the draft. However, if that gets fixed, everything would be perfect.
