GREAT TIME IN BA WITH THE MOST SUPER OF HOSTS!
We are just back from a two week stay in Buenos Aires where we lived in Sergio's charming little apartment in San Telmo and felt like locals. Some might find this review overly effusive, but this is because I can honestly think of nothing but great things to say about our experience and our host. From the moment we arrived it was obvious Sergio takes pride in offering his guests the best possible experience. With his well appointed apartment and its amenities, his specially made and professionally put together guest book offering great information and suggestions, and his prompt and helpful communications during the stay, Sergio ensures his guests are well taken care of and ready to thoroughly enjoy themselves in Buenos Aires. Among the highlights: The apartment was immaculately clean, and included AC, Smart TV and Netflix. It was also tastefully decorated and lacked for nothing in terms of amenities, and the kitchen, bathroom, water pressure, hot water, etc, were all top notch.
Sergio offered us several suggestions for places to eat and things to do in BA. We took him up on most of them and had a great time every time. He is completely bilingual, Spanish-English, and knows his city like the back of his hand. He also seems to have a unique ability to understand exactly what his guests would like or appreciate doing or seeing. And whenever we texted questions to him he answered almost instantly. We always felt that if we ever had any difficulties he would be there to help us in an instant.
At the end of our stay, he helped us to book an airport taxi, which we greatly appreciated because of our limited Spanish. When we were getting ready to go, Sergio asked me to offer suggestions for improvement. I did not give him any, because I honestly could not think of anything he could improve.
As a final note, whenever I travel I often read reviews like this before I book. I always look for some sign of reassurance in the review. So here is what I can tell you: if you are going to Buenos Aires and reading this right now, and if you want to stay in the heart of the most interesting part of the city, you don't need to hesitate. I cannot imagine a better place to stay with a more super superhost!
