1. Is it safe? Yes very. We felt comfortable walking around the suburb in the evening. The apartment block has a guard box at the gate manned 24 hours. The apartment is level 22 and lifts are in the foyer with a reception person and the apartment itself was adequately lockable.
2. The space. The wow factor are the floor to ceiling windows that look over the port and parts of the city. Just fantastic, especially at night. La bombonera in La Boca is visible from here . In fact the luxurious feel begins as you come into the building and walk past the large pool on your right. Everything feels new and the apartment was larger than I had expected.
3. The host. It’s one of those where you don’t meet a host. You deal with the people in the security box at the entrance. They are really helpful. The information from the host could have been a little more expansive eg you need fichas to operate the washing and drying machines and these are bought from the guards on the gate. Host quick and responsive to emails which was appreciated.
4. The location. Fabulous. Ten minute walk to San Telmo and its many restaurants, similar distance to supermarket. Many buses very close. Lots of taxis very close. Pleasant walk across the water to Puerto Madero. Casa Rosada 20 minute walk and Subte similar.
5. Issues? Only that it is next to the port. 3 nights from 5 we stayed we were woken by a very loud horn. I think it was a ships horn. On the worst occasion it continued on and off for ten minutes. Not much you can do about that.
6. Value. Excellent. I totally recommend if you are considering staying here.
