The Only Place to Stay in Buenos Aires-PERFECT!

Our stay at the Humboldt and Charcas appartment in Palermo Hollywood was Perfect!
I was hesitant to book with any other companies, such as BA Habitat or Oasis because they required a full payment of the property before arrival and that made me a little nervous. When we saw Perfecto Lugar, their YouTube video and other reviews on FlipKey, we thought it would be a reliable place, and we were right. The owner, Alejandro Sorrentino is absolutely wonderful. He was quick to reply back to all our e-mails, and we kept in touch as we booked early. He sent us a step-by-step procedure that was very easy, and required a deposit payment and the rest upon arrival--which we thought was very professional.
Alejandro also arranged for a taxi to pick us up from Ezeiza Airport for some extra pesos, but not that much more than the current taxi rate. It gave us a sense of comfort to know that the driver knew exactly where he was going and we didn't have to worry about directions. At the airport, there was a company holding our names upon arrival and everything went smoothly. Alejandro greeted us at the appartment to give us the key. The building is very cute and it has a boutique feel to it. We were happy to see two security doors that you had to lock every time you left/came back in because it felt very exclusive and safe.
The appartment 3c was everything we had hoped for, and was a true representation of the pictures and video we had seen online. It was very clean and it had EVERYTHING a person might need; it was truly like our home away from home. The kitchen had utensils, tea kettle, coffee machine, nice cups and glasses, tea, etc etc. Though this is not a huge apartment, the use of space is excellent and it looks very modern and chic. The bathroom was excellent, it even had a bide and a professional blow dryer and hair straightener which were VERY useful, and as a girl and made me very happy. We stayed for 9 nights and the apartment was cleaned once throughout the week, and new towels were provided to us. Another great feature was the wifi and the converters and adapters that Alejandro had. Truly-NOTHING was missing from the apartment. It even has a little balcony which is super cute.
Overall--great location, great apartment, great stay and I would not stay anywhere else in Buenos Aires. Alejandro is truly professional, and his assistant Gaston is very helpful as well.
