Gastón and Barbara are fantastic hosts. They communicated very promptly with each inquiry before and during our stay. We did not meet Barbara, but Gastón met us early on our first day as we arrived from a cruise. He spent an hour or so telling us about Buenos Aires and getting to know us while we had coffee in a nearby café and waited for the apartment to be ready (2 hours earlier than normal check-in.) His English is very good. Throughout our 5-day visit, he responded within a few minutes to every question and was very helpful about the neighborhood, restaurants and things to do. He also has a guidebook with directions to restaurants, supermarket, ATM's etc. The apartment was perfect for us and as described. The king sized bed was very comfy as were the pillows. It was very quiet and, as a light sleeper, I had no issues. The air conditioner and fan worked well. The doorman was always super friendly as well. The location could not be better in my opinion. It is very safe. There are tons of restaurants nearby, including one of the best steakhouses in BA. It is an easy walk to the metro, which takes you almost anywhere. We also took the hop on hop off to get oriented and it also stops nearby. Gastón allowed us to stay until late afternoon for a small fee, ordered us a taxi and met us to say goodbye and instruct the driver. While I speak a little Spanish, I was grateful for the help, as the cab drivers are not always reliable. I can’t imagine a better choice for visiting beautiful Buenos Aires. Thank you Gastón and Barbara!!
