Throughout our six-day stay, Carlos was a gracious host and even went above and beyond to accommodate us, from handling our early arrival and late departure, to loaning us an extension cord. The apartment was perfect for our family of 4. All the rooms were spacious, and the kitchen was well equipped. The table and chairs on the balcony would have been a lovely place to enjoy our morning coffee, if we were there at a warmer time of year. We were happy to see that the apartment building has an elevator, as our son started the vacation on crutches and wasn't able to climb the three flights of stairs to our apartment. It looks like a cafe will be opening in the next month or so on the ground level of the building. That will be a nice addition.
We didn't find much to do in Villa Crespo itself, so we spent most of the time in Recoleta and Palermo, the neighborhoods our daughter/tour guide was more familiar with. As advertised, the apartment is a short walk to the bus stop and subway station (although the public transportation system is quite confusing to those unfamiliar with it).
