Location: The unit is literally a few hundred feet from one of the main streets in BA, and a block or so from a subway station – perfect location. It’s close to high end shopping a fresh food market etc.

Apartment: Very high ceilings, lovely décor – better than the images (which were wonderful). For anyone who appreciates the Art Deco Style, this is a once in a lifetime opportunity. The apartment is very accurately described in the AirBNB write up. Neighborhood is quiet (for the downtown of a city of 3 million!) and we always felt safe and maybe even welcomed

Hostess, Carol: Perfectly suited!, Carol was at once a great hostess, ambassador for her city as well as a bit of a travel guide to us. She has a very engaging personality and knows what she is doing – very effective. For us she advised us on details of how to get places and exchange $ for pesos etc.. She went way above and beyond her responsibilities, but always with a smile on her face and a genuinely great attitude.

Summary: Unlike some of our previous rentals where you deal with brokers and middle men – Carol is the owner of the unit and has that very special personality to not only make you feel welcome, but she also has the detailed knowledge to help if you ask! The best hostess we have had – by far!
