Ruy and his mother, Eloisa, were great hosts. They were very flexible with check-in and check-out times. The apartment is nice and bright with a great view from the balcony. The location is great if you're coming to tour Buenos Aires, especially for the price. The area seemed pretty safe, but after dark there is little going on there. The subte is only a few block away, and combines with the D line which will take you to Palermo in 30 minutes. We had some water problems in the building (not just in the apartment) which could happen anywhere, but Ruy made sure the problem got fixed quickly and kept us updated frequently. Overall, I would recommend this apartment.
