Very nice apartment and super hosts! My wife and I stayed at this apartment for a month, and we had a great time. It was the perfect home base for us between our daily training at the nearby DNI tango school.

Renting the apartment was quick and easy, as was all communication with the hosts; Maria & Bernardo were always quick and prompt with responses, sometimes replying within just a few hours. They were always super easy to communicate with (Spanish or English) and very flexible in accommodating our itinerary. Most of our face-to-face interactions in BA were with Maria's father Eduardo, who always made us feel very welcome whenever we met. Our flight in was delayed many hours due to fog, and though we had no way of informing him of our delay, Eduardo was still there to greet us when we arrived at the building. Muchas gracias Eduardo!

The apartment is a smallish room in an older building, but kept clean, comfortable, and stocked with all the basic necessities (and a few extras like tourist guides, a subway card, tea packets, bottles of water/coke, etc.). The balcony has a very nice view of the surrounding area, and a place to hang washed clothes to dry. The washer worked, but was not evenly washing the clothes, so Eduardo came by with a repairman. The flatscreen TV and in-room wifi were very useful (as noted in another review, the wifi router is using a non-protected public connection, for those who care), as was the kitchen stove with pots, pans, and various bowls & utensils. The water temperature of the bath/shower was hard to control as the shower would tend to fluctuate between hot and cold (as a tip for future visitors, after adjusting water temperature to your preference, if you only turn the middle shower-head-knob a bit more than halfway (so some water is coming out of the shower head and some coming out of the bath nozzle), this for some reason stabilizes the temperature of the water coming out of the shower head). The weekly maid always did a great job of cleaning the apartment.

The surrounding area is probably generally safe by BA standards and we roamed around at will during the day, but at night, we still stuck to major streets with many people. There are many restaurants and kiosks within a few blocks, and a very tasty ice cream shop we frequented often. There is a Carrefour Express supermarket (and another local one) within 10 minutes walk.

Muchas gracias to Maria & Bernardo (& Eduardo) for always being so friendly, accessible, & flexible. Thanks for the great stay guys!!
