Although we never got to meet Telmo in person (his wife had twins the day we arrived!) he arranged for a friend to meet us. The apartment was exactly as described and the view was as awesome as all the reviews promised! We had a lovely stay for 5 nights and these are the things that made it a good experience: The view, the bathroom, the washing machine, the cafeteria downstairs for coffee and pastries every morning, the metro right outside the front door and overall, just a great apartment which was very well appointed and clean! A convenient place to stay for visiting both sides of the river.
