Andy was extremely personable and spent a lot of time answering our questions, and pointing out restaurants on the map.He is fluent in English and very devoted to helping his guests. We especially liked the fruit bowl, special cookies and lovely bottle of wine he left after a busy 17 hours of traveling.

We had a wonderful time in this cozy apartment, very close to restaurants, the subway and some buses. But, we tended to take taxis everywhere because they are so inexpensive ( $6-$15). We watched Netflix, and Bloomberg News after dinner in the evening. The A/C was very nice to have when the days were in the upper 80s.Everything worked . The kitchen is very well-equipped and great for cooking a meal. People had left rice, spices, tea, olive oil and vinegar. The sinks are very deep for washing.The refrigerator/freezer combo is big and very clean...super for storing ice cream!

We especially enjoyed Miranda, a restaurant just a couple of blocks away. The rump steak, served with sides of mashed potatoes and grilled vegetables, is heavenly.The Trumpeter Wine: Rutini Vineyard, Cabernet Sauvignon, 2014, from Mendoza was especially good.

We took the one hour Buquebus from the port to Colonia del Sacramento, Uruguay for the day after making reservations several days in advance.( $100 each. See the packet I left in the box). Be prepared to stand for at least an hour each way before boarding and disembarking. That is a unique river town that has quaint homes, restaurants, and is a good place to buy gifts.We took the bus tour in English and enjoyed it. We ate at The Drugstore, a very colorful restaurant with guitar playing and singing. My salmon, vegetable and rice meal was very good ($15, including mineral water).
So we, as an older couple, found it fairly easy to get around Buenos Aires from this apartment.We used the subway just once and found it to be very efficient, but extremely crowded. We definitely will return to this enchanting city and comfortable apartment.
