I can’t say enough good things about Alejandra’s place where we happily spent a month. When you first walk in you think, is that it ? because of the small size which is clearly indicated in the description, but as you live in it you grow to appreciate every single corner and aspect because everything is SO well thought out. First there are mirrors everywhere which create the impression of greater space and is a nice touch in general. The quality of items in the kitchen and elsewhere, as well as the availability of every practical necessity, including a washing machine, is a definite plus. The bedroom is separate and has blinds which don’t filter the light in, which was great. The bed is extremely comfortable. There are all kinds of small and big lights everywhere. Also convertible plugs for European users. The bathroom is well equipped. Shower and hot water work perfectly. Kitchen is very pragmatically set up and is comfortable to work in despite the small size. There are mosquito screens on the 2 main windows. 2 ACs (one in each room) cool the place up perfectly although we used them sparingly even during the hot season. The tv has all the cable channels and Netflix films provide a great distraction at night. It is a well lit apartment. Also all the essential shops for food consumption are 2 mins away.
But best of all is the actual location of the apartment. It is so centrally placed that initially we walked everywhere but after we figured out the bus and subte (underground) system we used those as well. Alejandra is a wonderfully attentive hostess, responding rapidly to all questions. The fridge was generously filled with essential items when we first arrived, small esthetic touches were well appreciated, bathroom supplies were never in short. Cleaning services once a week was also much appreciated. We were also supplied with a transportation card which you could use on all public transport but remember to charge it at a kiosk before you start (per ride pp costs about 15 pesos). Alejandra recommended an app which greatly facilitated our city travel, describing how one could get back and forth from different destinations.
So I would recommend this place in the heart of Buenos Aires, literally opposite the imposing Teatre Colon, heartily. Those who are noise sensitive should bear in mind that at certain times of the day traffic is pretty intense but relents at night after buses stop working. But apart from that it is a perfect practical well endowed place. Special thanks go to Alejandra for her supreme gentillesse.
