Ruy was a great host, and I would definitely book this apartment again! As we were flying standby, he let us not only make a last-minute booking, but he also let us check in early and was gracious enough to work out a late check out as well. The view from the apartment is INCREDIBLE and the terrace is perfect for a sunset. It also offers a great vantage point to take some cool photos of the Evita mural on 9 de Julio. If you are looking for a place close to San Telmo for the market on Sunday, La Casa Rosada/Plaza de Mayo, this is perfect. It's also a very easy taxi or bus (#10 or #59 picks you right up on 9 de Julio) to Recoleta or Palermo if you want to go out at night, see the Recoleta Cemetary, or play in Palermo's parks.

The apartment was clean and had both hand and dish soap, so you didn't have to go out and buy those things. The only thing to keep in mind is this apartment does not have air conditioning--only a fan. For a fall/spring night, it was just fine, but I could see the heat being a bit tough in the peak summer. (This information is included in the description of the apartment, so it came as no surprise. We were perfectly happy without the A/C.)

As we were in BsAs for only the weekend, he also helped us exchange a little USD for Pesos (at a very fair rate) to get us started, which was perfect. If you are heading to EZE, it's the same price to use the driver he knows as it is to taxi to Manuel Tienda Leon and bus to the airport. In the future, we'll make sure we have enough pesos at the end of our trip to go through his driver. As I had lived in the city before, I didn't ask for tourist tips, but he has guide books in the apartment and am sure he would have great ideas for how to spend your time in BsAs.
