The one week stay at Christoffer’s was very pleasant. The location sits right in the middle of the block, just 3 blocks from great restaurants such as Rosa Negra, Harry’s and Puerto Madero (ask for Rubenstein Lopez) and two blocks from other great places to feast like Amori e Sapori (incredible Salmon and Lasagna), Signora Mariola Cafe & Pan (amazing french toast) and a little bakery called Antonoff (incredible banana bread/desserts).
Upon arrival to the apartment, we quickly realized we could not use a key or ring a bell to enter the complex and we needed a security guard to unlock the door. Once inside we were able to access an elevator that took us to the 5th floor. The apartment itself was just as pictured with high ceilings, a quaint balcony that looks onto the street and a decent size bedroom with plenty of closet space. The second bedroom holds a twin bed but we didn’t use it. The living room and dining room provided ample space for two people but could easily accommodate four. The powder room on the first floor was very convenient, however the main bathroom on the second floor was a bit small and tight. Unfortunately, during our stay the faucet was leaking and created a puddle underneath the attached cabinet. Christoffer was great about getting the handyman to come in to repair the problem, but It took two days for the faucet to be replaced and once replaced the water did not drain quickly in the sink. The water pressure in the shower was light and it took a few minutes for the hot water to begin streaming. There were times the hot water would turn cold after 5 minutes and other times where it would remain warm/hot for longer intervals. There is a Sam’s Club a block away, but we decided to pick up a few things from Walmart (laundry detergent, a shower mat since the tiles were a bit slick, and a few more towel sets as there were only a few bath towels left for us). Otherwise, the kitchen was fully stocked with pots, pans, cups, glassware, tupperware, silverware, salt, sugar and most other necessities needed for a longer stay- which was great! In addition, the washer and dryer right next to the kitchen worked well and was fairly easy to use even if you don’t understand much Spanish.
The only other thing worth knowing is that the internet was spotty. So if you are there for work it may not provide the level of reliability needed for messaging and video calls.
Outside of that, the host was great! Christoffer responded promptly, checked in to make sure we were doing ok, and even gave us one free cleaning mid-week.
