I had a great stay at Martin's place in Palermo. I didn't meet him, but I met his friend Shanghai who was great, and gave me lots of tips and suggestions. The location is great, a few seconds from Av. Liberatador which is one of the main "streets" in Palermo; cabs are in abundance here. From here you can walk to Museo Nacional de Bellas Artes, Floralis Genérica, Recoleta Cemetery, and MALBA. The neighborhood is very safe, and there is a small grocery store next door, a cafe on the corner, and a couple of restaurants right there as well. The building has an elevator which is great. The apartment is open and airy, well decorated. There is a nice kitchen and bathroom with plenty of hot water. I would definitely recommend anyone to stay here, and would stay there again myself. A great experience, and a wonderful city!
