We had a brilliant stay in Buenos Aires. We stayed for a month and Marcia's lovely apartment was a home from home. So much better than staying in an anonymous hotel. It's in a lovely old building but has been completely renovated inside. Ideal for a couple and a friend (as we were) or parents and a child. There is a double bed in one room and single in the other.

Having the Wi-fi was a life-saver so we could keep in contact with everyone. (We bought local sims for our phones but couldn't get them to work). The washing machine was also brilliant. Elda the cleaning lady comes once a week and she was awesome - so thorough!

Great location - right near all the things we wanted. We went to Bs As to dance tango and there were a number of good milongas nearby + DNI tango school. Also good range of essential shops / supermarkets. If you want 'smart' shops or tourist sites, you'll need to go into town (about 20 - 30 mins by taxi). Taxis are plentiful in the area and we always picked one up immediately. Very reasonable prices.

There's building works still next door (Aug 2015) but they've finished the heavy work now and although you can hear the workmen, it didn't really disturb us. If you're a light sleeper and want to sleep in in the morning, you might want to take earplugs.

I think Marcia is very busy so it took a while to get answers to some questions I had before we went (2-3 days) so if you need extra information, allow plenty of time for replies.

The apartment is well equipped and has everything you need. The handover of keys went smoothly and Marcia's friend Melisa was there to meet us when we arrived. There was also plenty of storage space and lots of hangers! It is a quiet residential neighbourhood and apart from the trash collection truck which comes round very late (usually around 11-12pm!) we were not disturbed at all.

Overall highly recommended and we're already looking forward to coming back next year!
