The reason for my trip to BA was not a happy one. Silvina knew this and she made sure I felt welcome and taken care of from the beginning. Her warmth and kindness made my stay as nice as it could be within these circumstances. She is a wonderful host.
The flat is located in a nice neighbourhood, not too far from the city centre (there are bus and metro stops nearby) and not that close that you are in the middle of the chaos, which means the area is quieter, more residential... just nicer 👌
There is a big supermarket just 100 mts away from the flat, and several smaller shops as well, including a laundromat which I found life-saving 🙂. Honestly, location is a big perk for anyone visiting the city.
The flat is comfy and wonderfully decorated, with lots of thoughtful touches for the guest (i.e. a lovely breakfast tray with essentials, and a kit with maps, guides and brochures that make it easier to explore the city's attractions if that's what you want). I really appreciated having cooking essentials as well, since this is something not many hosts leave for their guests, but Silvina did. She left me cooking oil, salt, sugar, tea bags, coffee, even rice. Loved it.
The bed was AMAZING to the point I'd now like to invest on the same mattress and bedding. The shower pressure and temperature was perfect. There were bathroom essentials too, shampoo, conditioner, a soap bar. The balcony was a blessing and the flat was really, really luminous which I REALLY liked.
I had to shorten my stay due to unforeseen personal reasons and Silvina was understanding. Nothing was too much trouble for her and that made me understand that she doesn't view AirBnB purely as a business opportunity but also as a way to connect with people. This doesn't happen often. Please do yourself a big favour and stay here, I guarantee you will love it.
Thank you Silvina for everything, and I as I told you, I hope your flat is available next time I come to BA because I'd love to return.
Best wishes
