My wife and I had not visited Buenos Aires before although have travelled much.
Before we left England we had been in touch with Gaston and Barbara about various things- airport transfer- blue dollar etc and had immediate and helpful response. On arrival at what is a lovely, clean spacious, well equipped apartment we were shown in by
Barbara who instantly made us welcome. After orientation and use of Gaston's very helpful own produced Guide to the Galaxy we got around fine. Later in evening we met Gaston who we had asked to help with dollar exchange. Over a glass of wine he listed a variety of suggestions of places to visit and safe ways around the city. We then did an exchange of dollars at a healthy Blue Dollar rate.
The week at the apartment was extremely comfortable and one felt very safe. A nearby supemarket provided all the essentials for eating-in and the apartment facilities provided the rest.
Gaston had stayed in touch all through via text/email as he had kindly agreed to arrange our onward bus trip but also checked everything else being in order.
On the evening of departure we saw Gaston for tickets and more blue dollar exchange.
In summary Gaston and Barbara have been wonderful hosts and the apartment and location are as nice as you could wish.
We even tried to book for a few days return to their after our travels but sadly it booked. No worries Gaston had another a solution he arranged with another owner in the block for us to stay there. Will look forward to seeing him on our return to BA.
Thanks again for the hospitality Gaston & Barbara and use of your lovely apartment.
