I spent a month in this modern apartment, which is in the gentrifying area of Chacarita. Just south of tourist favourite Palermo, it is an interesting mix of modern and traditional cafes, shops and restaurants. The large balcony, shaded by trees, is a highlight, and the WiFi and air conditioning are good. I did not see Maria Lucila during my stay but Carlos is friendly and helpful, and even gave me a lift to the airport. He speaks good English but let me practise my dodgy Spanish on him if I wished to! The apartment is just five blocks north of a subway station and on several useful bus routes.
