Summary - A clean and well-cared-for apartment in a great Recoleta location, with easy access to transportation, shopping, and amenities. Robert cares about the quality of his apartment and his guests' experience. As long as you don't mind the energy of a city at your doorstep, you can't go wrong with this apartment.

Location - Recoleta is a good base for travelers because it is between the attractions in downtown / San Telmo and the shopping & restaurants in Palerno. From Robert's apartment, you can easily walk to the Metro or take one of the dozens of collectivos on Av Santa Fe, Cabrera, or Callao. There are lots of restaurants and shopping nearby. You can walk out at any time and get anything you want - drugstore items, cafe con leche, wine, or Quilmes to enjoy on the patio. Although the building is on a side street, there are still buses and plenty of traffic on this street. I slept fine, but there is still city street noise. You can cut down on the noise at night by lowering the mechanical shade, but this blocks out all the light.

Building - The building has laundry, with instructions in English, and it is very easy to use. (Some of us need instructions.) There is a doorman that is present most of the time, with a lot of security cameras. The building and neighborhood felt safe at all times of the day. The gym in the building is a little run down, but you can buy day passes to the Megatlon (large chain) gym across the street.

Apartment - It is in excellent shape, very clean, and is the perfect size for one or two people. The bed is comfortable and the kitchen has all the basics. There is a small round table with three chairs, a couch, and the bed. The bathroom is in good shape with a large hot water heater for the shower.

Hospitality - Robert was an excellent host, sending me information ahead of time (his favorite restaurants, travel advice, etc) and always responding promptly. He met me at the door to show me the building and was responsive throughout the process. He genuinely cares about his properties and his guests' satisfaction. I would stay at any of his locations.
