Mattie and Cande were amazing hosts and have such a beautiful, unique flat. And, they are the cutest couple ever! The day I got in BA, they were there to greet me and answer all the questions I had about the flat, BA and Porteño life in general. They embrace all their guests with warmth, respect and compassion (for being a stranger in a new, huge city!)

One thing I was looking for in a living situation was that it felt authentic and was near the Subte (subway.) I didn't want to be smack-dab in with the tourists, yet not too far off the beaten path. The neighborhood is a nestled between the flashy Palermo, business suits of Central and the beatnik/Bohemian San Telmo = perfect! Plus, I was able to walk about 25 minutes to the nature reserve which was a needed refuge from the general craziness of the city.

They went up and beyond in certain situations for me: when I arrived with no physical American dollars and was scrambling to get my money situation handled, they offered me some pesos to borrow for a bit. Life saver. When I got messages from various folks about weekend trips or setting up cab rides, without hesitation they helped and got me all set up. It was such security (traveling as a single female) to know they had my back if anything came up.

It's a feeling you get with good people.. you feel as though you've known them your whole life! This is definitely the place to be in you want your own space, yet within a Parisan-like, classic-looking flat. They're super 'green' too with recycling, composing and plants everywhere. Tall ceilings, a comfy bed, a Zen-like bathroom... loved it! Other Air-B-n-B'ers seemed to love it as well...

Thank you Matias and Candelaria... you are lovely people, so is your flat and I can't wait to visit again (speaking fluently, I swear!)
