I'll try my best to give a fair review that takes into account both the good and the bad.
The good:
- Great views
- Excellent location
- Nice building overall with quite a good gym in it
- Friendly host who let me check in early and responded quickly (speaks both English and Spanish)
The bad:
- Internet was horrible. Much of the time it was below 1mbs download speed. I did several calls from the apartment and 100% of them cut out at some point because of very slow internet. I had to restart the router about 5 times as well because of intermittent internet. I know Buenos Aires doesn't have the best infrastructure, but I've stayed at many apartments in Buenos Aires over a 10-month period and this is the worst internet I've ever seen by far.
- The apartment was just very rough around the edges for the price, such as; large hole in the ceiling, floor with large areas of water damage, scratched and damaged (low quality) furniture, torn blinds fixed with tape, stained/dirty white blanket on the bed, very low quality cutlery and pots and pans that are about the quality you would use for camping, broken handles and locks on the doors going out to the balcony. Each of these things isn't the end of the world on it's own, but when you put them all together, it just becomes a poor experience for such an expensive apartment.
The next time I return to Buenos Aires I wouldn't return to this apartment. It was about 30-40% overpriced for the quality/upkeep. It could be a very nice place, as the building and location are awesome. But it needs a lot of work to live up to its potential and price.
