Host

Daniel was a brilliant host who was more than happy to help us with any requests or questions. When we arrived he took us through a map and pointed out the main areas of interest in BA (including travel routes etc). Daniel speaks very good English and was willing to help with our average Spanish.

Daniel lives on site but isn’t intrusive (he seems to pop up whenever you think of something to ask).

He was able to help with a lot of extras such as:
• providing us with a travel card for busses/subway (this is actually quite hard to get if you are a tourist and so being able to borrow one made things very easy);
• advice around currency/exchanging dollars;
• advice on places to eat & on safe places at night.

He does cleaning etc himself and it is done to a high standard. It shows that he takes pride in his house and has put a lot of effort into creating good spaces.

BnB

The house has its quirks (expected for the age) but overall is awesome. There are a number of rooms at the front of the property leading into a communal courtyard with a kitchen & dining area off this. There is a great rooftop terrace with another living space with a tv etc for guests.

Daniel’s area is at the back of the property and means that you aren’t worried about disturbing him (but it may take him some time to get down to the front door so don’t run away).

Rooms are spacious and the beds are nice. Bathrooms are functional but clean.

Location

We were really happy with the location of the property. It is in Palermo and walkable distance to Palermo Soho & Hollywood. It was easy to get to other areas (we walked to Recoleta, and took a bus to San Telmo, Puerto Madero, and La Boca; Daniel was able to provide the bus number and location of the nearest stop).

Overall

It was a fantastic experience and a great way to start on Air BnB. If you’re looking for somewhere quiet (for inner city) to explore Buenos Aires then this is a great choice.
