Corine's apartment was a gem. The pictures are more than accurate - it really is that beautiful. The apartment was spotless, and very safe. We spent 10 days in Buenos Aires - the first five in Corine's apartment and the last five at the 5-star Alvear Icon Hotel for work. Corine's apartment was just as great as the luxury hotel if not better in some ways. Here's why:
The prime location in the middle of the Recoleta neighborhood - two markets nearby, multiple coffee shops and cafes steps away, and several nearby Western Unions to quickly exchange dollars for pesos. Easy walking distance to shopping, the famous Teatro Colon theatre, beautiful parks, and overall just a safe neighborhood.
Check-in was a breeze, despite a language barrier. Corine put us in touch with the building manager Carlos, who showed us to the apartment, made sure we knew how the keys and heating worked, and shared his Whatsapp contact info with us in case we needed anything during our stay. He was prompt to respond to a couple of questions we texted him. Upon checkout he kindly made sure we got into our Uber, ensuring we didn't forget anything or need to return inside the building. While Carlos spoke no English, and our Spanish is remedial, he was able to communicate with us seamlessly through the Google Translate app.
We were a little nervous to book this apartment because of the lack of reviews, but we ended up loving it so much that we would absolutely return and recommend it to friends!
