Cecilia's apartment is incredible. From the moment you walk in, it just has that "Wow" factor. She recently renovated the maid's suite connected to her apartment - it feels like you're stepping into a NYC loft. Beautiful flooring, modern furniture, and a very cool staircase leading up to the bedroom area that lights up from beneath at night. I had the lucky opportunity to stay at Cecilia's place for 4 weeks while I worked remotely in Nov/Dec.
Cecilia reached out to me right away upon booking to confirm my arrival details, and was completely available throughout my stay. We had some issues in the beginning with WiFi connectivity (I was travelling for business for 4 weeks and needed to stay connected). She acted immediately, calling multiple times to the service provider - replaced equipment, added equipment, had workers on the roof replacing wiring, and was always checking in to make sure it was working.
These aren't negatives - just worth noting: As some other reviewers have commented, the ceiling height in the bedroom is really low - I definitely hit my head a few times (I'm 6ft tall) but you definitely get used to it. Also, the kitchen is well stocked with what you need but it's tiny - For anyone just here for a few days, you'll likely be eating out at all of the amazing restaurants in Recoleta, but it would be difficult to do any major cooking, if that was your plan. Finally, the hallway/entrance is definitely... rustic. With this apartment being a former maid's quarters - you enter through the main (lovely) entrance, but then walk through a bizarre hallway (that is a little bit creepy) to get to the main elevator. I honestly thought it was really cool - but it's quite the contrast from the apartment itself, which is absolutely stunning. I can't imagine any of these things preventing anyone from wanting to stay here, but they were the three things that i would say were a little surprise!
Cecilia also offers the services of her maid that you can have as often as you'd like at a cost of $15US per clean - She'll swap out the sheets and towels, remove any garbage, and just do a general overall clean. It makes Cecilia's apartment feel more like a service home rather than just staying in someone's house.
I will recommend this apartment to any of my friends and colleagues looking to have an amazing time in Recoleta, Buenos Aires - You're well situated to take in the whole city - the D Line Subway is about a 5 minute walk which will get you into Palermo within 15 minutes. All of the government buildings (Casa Rosada, etc) are about a 15 minute walk. Puerto Madero is also walkable (albeit a bit further), and of course you have Recoleta on your doorstep. It's truly a stunning neighbourhood and the perfect home base as you explore the city.
