This has overall been a very good experience. If I could have rated it 4.5 out of 5, I would have, but sadly it's not an option here on Airbnb. I will try to be as fair and detailed as possible, by breaking down my impressions:
PROS:
- Andrés is super friendly and easy to communicate with. He's always available and he's very helpful. The check-in and check-out processes were really straightforward.
- Beautiful apartment in a convenient location (close to shops, metro and train) with incredible views.
- Plenty of A/C for the hot Buenos Aires summers.
- Smart TV, a cool Sony sound system, and very fast Wi-Fi.
- Really comfortable bed.
- Newly built apartment block with cool amenities (such as pool, gym and laundry room).
- We got some chocolates and a bottle of wine as welcome gifts, which was a really nice touch.
CONS:
- A few of the kitchen utensils and some minor things here and there weren't perfectly clean. Nothing major or that ruins your experience, but small details. We let Andrés know and he was very receptive to our feedback, and apologized, which is a major plus.
- Some small things (like a door handle or the kitchen range hood) were in need of a bit of maintenance. Once again, minor stuff.
- The soundproofing of the building in general is not great. If you are used to living in a big city, it's fine. But otherwise, it might become annoying to hear the neighbours talk or watch TV, or hear the traffic noise from outside.
CONCLUSION:
A really solid option to stay in Buenos Aires, with a friendly host and plenty of comfort.
