Claudia is a wonderful hostess - although we arrived a bit late in the evening, her son answered the door, let us in, and Claudia came down to show us the unit through the patio where we would be staying. She gave us a quick overview of the city, best ways to get around, dinner recommendations, everything!

That being said, my friend and I had both positive and negative feedback on the apartment itself. So, here it is:

THE PROS:
-washing machine
-no shortage of hot water
-very effective heater (we were there in the winter)
-EXCELLENT location in a safe, vibrant neighborhood
-10 minute walk from the Subte (metro)
-close to some of the best dining, bars, milongas (you need to try La Cabrera steakhouse and La Viruta Tango milonga!)
-again, Claudia is super nice and accommodating

THE CONS
-cat crying on the porch kept us up the first two nights
-construction just behind the building woke us up in the mornings
-lack of natural light in the apartment
-one of the walls looked like it was water stained, not clean
-very narrow bathroom, not the cleanest shower
-we sighted a very large spider in the stairs
-in general, the apartment is NOT as clean OR as bright as it appears in the pictures on the listing

Regardless of the negatives mentioned, we ended up enjoying our stay and felt the location and hospitality certainly outweighed these factors. I feel that you will have a wonderful experience if you choose to stay with Claudia - but just go into it well informed!
