This is a VERY nice apartment in what is, in my opinion, THE best area of Buenos Aires to be in -- the Recoleta neighborhood. Get out your map and look at this square area of these 4 streets: Las Heras, Pueyrredon, Santa Fe, Callao. Within this area, you'll find lots of restaurants for locals, not tourists. It's small streets. Silvia's place is located on a street called Peña. It's about 3 blocks from Recoleta cemetery, which is just right. You're near some touristy things, but you are not in the touristy area. In fact, in my week just now, I heard English in a restaurant maybe once. I have been to Buenos Aires MANY times, and I always try to stay in this area. This was my 2nd time at Silvia's place. I highly recommend it! It's a regular "big city" apartment in terms of space. There is one big area that is comprised of a small kitchen (big fridge, microwave, sink, gas stove, lots of cabinets with toaster, dishes, etc.; a living area with a sofa and a small kitchen table; a sleeping area with a comfortable bed, 2 closet areas, several drawers, and a TV; a small bathroom with a sink and a tub and a toilet -- great water pressure!; a balcony. One of the cool things about this apartment in fact is that it has a balcony overlooking the street, so you can have sunlight in your apartment, in other words, a sunny view. (Lots of apartments have only interior views, which means you see nothing at all except another wall.) I like this place. I'll be back for sure.
