Claudia was the best - an incredibly helpful, generous, delightful person who made us feel totally welcome. The apartment was lovely - an excellent location, fairly quiet, very comfortable (especially the bed), with a great terrace to hang out on.

There were a few minor issues with the apartment - the refrigerator had a broken piece in the freezer that made it freeze over and drip on the food in the fridge below. Unplugging it to thaw caused a pool of water in the kitchen. Claudia said the piece is on order and should be fixed soon. The bathroom is teensy and located right next to the bed and the door doesn't shut completely, so if you're traveling with a romantic partner, make sure your personal boundaries can handle this intimacy. Otherwise it was a perfect place to land in the huge, chaotic city of Buenos Aires.

Oh, two food recommendations nearby: Pain et Vin is a great sourdough bread and wine place a short walk away. Las Pizarras is a near-perfect restaurant about a 10-min walk away. Not cheap, but not super expensive (about US$50 for din for two including drinks when we went). If this is in your budget, Las Pizarras is not to be missed.

We would definitely stay in this apartment again.
