LOUD! LOUD! LOUD!
I don’t even know where to start! This place was the worse apartment I ever stayed in Buenos aires.
We arrived on Friday night and we should have known better when we saw that the entrance ceiling was falling apart. However, at 6 am the street noise to include loud busses and cars was brutal. It felt like the neighbors were having a conversation in my bedroom.The apartment is at the second floor. The windows aren’t soundproof at all!
After barely sleeping that first night, we realized in the morning that the shower had barely any pressure and NO hot water. We contacted the owner Gabriela who told us that they had some issues with the water pipes and construction the week before and sent us a plumber. When we got home that night the water was semi warm and still the water pressure of an IV…
On Sunday we realized that the WI-FI stopped working completely. We contacted Gabriela again and she stated that she didn’t understand why the Wi-Fi wasn’t working and that it had always worked. We assured her that we didn’t know either and that we needed internet since we were working from home. She then told us that it would probably take a few days until a technician would go by.
On Monday morning, we were woken up again by the brutal traffic and street noise. In addition to that loud fanfare, we had the chance to experience loud drilling from the neighbor upstairs every morning which lasted until the end of our stay. We contacted again Gabriela and told her that the living conditions were intolerable and that she should have notified us that there was going to be construction repairs on the unit above her apartment. At that point, Gabriela never got back to us and we even had to coordinate with the Wi-Fi technician for his visit, which we wasted a whole day for him to come. So we stayed without internet from Sunday night until the technician arrived Tuesday 5PM.
She said that she wasn’t responsible for those events. Yes we understand but we are not either and we still paid for a service. Gabriela should have had at least the professional ethics to offer us a few nights for free.
I wouldn’t recommend this place. Our stay wasn’t pleasant.
