I came to Argentina for 2 months to visit family and friends. i needed a flat from where to work, so good/normal internet was always the most important requirement. Before I booked this airbnb I had contacted the host to make sure the internet was ok and he confirmed the connection was indeed very good. To my surprise, when I checked in internet was very poor, to the extent there were days I could not even send an email (not even an email with an attachment, only a plain email). Again, I needed it to work so I brought this up a significant number of times (aka most days) with no improvement. The staff changed the router in my flat but that did not improve my wifi connection. Those who need internet to work will understand how stressful the whole experience has been. I could not even have a whatsapp call with my clients and manager. Some days I had to go to a coffee place or a co-working space to be able to work as, again, the connection in my flat was very frustrating.
The staff was not fully responsible for it, it seems they did not understand or believe me internet was not working. They never apologised for this and they knew how big this inconvenience was for me (again it was brought up most days). They sent a ‘technician” twice and responded to my claim saying internet was ok (because the signal showed ok), when it was not. At one point i was told they only provide with accommodation and they were not responsible for how internet worked (when again, it had been highlighted and reassured before making the booking).
Long story short, if you look at my reviews on Airbnb you will see I am a fair and flexible person, and not used to complaining. I have worked in hospitality in the past and I understand that unforeseen situations can indeed happen. However, this experience has been very stressful, not functional at all and would never recommend it to anybody looking for a place to work remotely from. It is not a standard apartment, it seems it was formerly a hotel turned into flats (flats have magnetic keys to get in that get easily deactivated when putting them close to a mobile phone/airpods) so it could be a challenging experience if you arrive late at your flat as there is not always someone at reception. You will NOT find a fully equipped kitchen here (which was also an unpleasant surprise), only 2 electrical hobs and not crockery (not even a pan!), a microwave and an electric kettle. Because of that I had to order take-away every single day for lunch and dinner (which costs money of course). If you are thinking of staying long term, please bear in mind that flats do not come with a broom or anything to clean it with (I guess you are expected to buy those?). Within my stay I was only offered cleaning service once (in the last week).
Please be careful when booking this flat. I would only recommend it for people coming to sightsee and spend a weekend at as the location is really good (restaurants, shops, bars). However, look anywhere else for a flat to stay long term and work remotely from if you do not want to have these issues. I can honestly say that this has been the most disappointing airbnb experience I have had, mainly because the issues have always been brought up and they failed to even care to find a solution (I even suggested being changed to another flat in the building but they never helped me). It was mis-sold to me and hope I can help anybody in my situation be aware of it.
