I couldn't say better things about the apartment and Alejandro as my host! I found the apartment exactly as described - well furnished, bright, clean, and with a very well-equipped kitchen. Alejandro even left a comprehensive manual with guides on how to use all of the appliances! Also, Alejandro was very quick to respond to any questions I had about the apartment, and his mom met me at there on time to check me in, give me the key, and give me a thorough tour of the place and its features. The apartment also had a stellar terrace which had incredible panaromic views of the city; it proved to be a lovely place to take afternoon mate with friends! The location was also fantastic. Although the neighborhood, Almagro, is less touristy than its neighbors Palermo or Villa Crespo, it was chalk full of nightlife options, including avante garde theater, live music venues, great restaurants, and popular local bars. Plus, if you wanted to head out elsewhere, the neighborhood is conveniently located in the middle of the city and near many bus and subway lines. In short, for anyone wanting an authentic yet comfortable, porteno-like experience in Buenos Aires, choose this place! It's a tremendous deal, and you won't be disappointed!
