After a last-minute cancelation by another agency, I turned to AirBnB and stumbled across Flor's apartment and it had everything I needed; great location, right size and a terrific price. It was a new posting and had no previous reviews, but she was very pleasant and professional via email, so I decided to go for it.

And I'm glad I did! The apartment is just as it appears in the photos. Perfect for one person, but workable for a couple as well. The building it's in is secure and on a side street in a bustling area, though the street itself has plenty of action. Everything you need (Subte, groceries, pizza, you name it) is just a few blocks away.

The apartment is also nice and quiet, save for the occasional outside noise. It's as bright as it is in the photos (which can make sleeping late a bit challenging) and the A/C works just fine. The bathroom is, well, a bathroom; it's certainly clean, but not as bright and shiny as the rest of the apartment (I'm a guy, so I got over it real fast.) The shower is good though–that's always a plus!

Oh, and most importantly, Flor was just as nice in person as she was via email.

Overall, a great experience!
