Buenos Aires 2018 (3)

今回泊まったアパートの部屋は... いつも14階の部屋だけど既に予約済みだったので、今回は13階の部屋に。
BA4U Apartments という管理会社がこのマンションの10部屋くらいをAirbnbに載せていて、僕はそこからコスパが良さそうな部屋を選んで予約をかける。という構図です。

ここ... 値段はほぼ一緒(一泊68ドルで2ドル高い)なのに、ず~っと広かった。今度からこっちにしよっと。
ベッドは同じ。(上写真は一晩使用後でシーツが乱れててスマソ)
枕は硬めのとフワフワがあるし、マットレスは適度に硬くて快適。

キッチン&ダイニング側がしっかり広い。
14階の部屋はテーブルとダイニングチェアだけど、こっちは応接セットみたいなソファで快適。

窓からの景色は、ほぼ一緒。目の前は電波飛びまくり。(笑)
でも今回は毎日が晴天で、あのアンテナマストに落雷するのをドキドキ見守るチャンスは皆無でした。

反対向きの部屋は Avenida Santa Fe サンタ・フェ大通りに面しているので低層階だとクルマの騒音があるかもしれませんが、高層階の裏側な部屋はとっても静かです。出入口が大通りに面しているのは便利なうえ治安もいい。タクシーを拾うのはどんな時間帯でも普通1分以下だし、普段から入口ドアは施錠されている上に24時間警備のおじさんがいます。

キッチンも広いみたい。なんでも一通り揃っていて便利です。
ホテルと違ってオーブンや電子レンジまであるし、冷蔵庫には2リッターの水がサービス。

立地が最高で、地下鉄駅の出入口まで徒歩20~30歩。すぐ隣や2~3軒先にカフェや食料品の売店があります。

晩夏の時期なのでウェルカムフルーツが5~6月に来るのと微妙に違う。
洋梨や桃は蜜柑よりも嬉しい。これは毎朝・あるいは夜食に有り難く頂戴しました。

コーヒーメーカーは同じドリップ式。
挽いた粉も用意されていて、しかも酸化していないダークロースト。さすがコーヒーの産地、南米。
これで14階より居心地がいい部屋を発見できました。来年来る時もこの部屋を狙うつもりです。

次回はルレ&シャトー加盟店 La Bourgogne でのディナー記事です。...食い過ぎでまぢヤバかったよ。

    Presently Airbnb is one of the best favorable networked assistance.
    Do they still maintain their stocks hidden ?
    Are investors yet desiring them to demonstrate lots of currency accepted as exchange for Airbnb’s services ?

    I think, for you, such a type of service is undoubtedly useful if the owner is skilled.
    I know that you, at first, arrange for the airliner vouchers, followed by seeking to find the most appropriate place where you pay for accommodation, which is based on the arrangement of your journey.
    Fortunately, your assignments are much more adaptable than weekday worker like me.

    Aren’t whole kinds of accommodations in Buenos Aires comparably difficult to catch likable ones in the time of the year ?
    I also know you generally refrain from visiting Barcelona in winter and the top period in summer, besides May and November as a renowned restaurant named S●n● P●u is out of service in the indicated whole dates (lol).

    1. Best Denki sensei,

      When I joined Airbnb in 2011, there were barely few accommodations in Japan. However, since Olympic 2020 will be held in Tokyo, there are numbers of properties joined although it might be violating the Japanese law.
      The stock of Airbnb is not public yet. I am not sure whether they take IPO or not because Airbnb’s headquarter is located in San Francisco but it is very controversial regarding the strict codes of City/County of SF, Airbnb is always problematic in their home town.

      I have used Airbnb member properties around the world and sensei’s guess is right. If the landlord has a good skill and experiences, the stay is very comfortable. Under such perspective, this apartment managed by BA4U is superb.
      In Sydney, Australia, there were numbers of ‘service apartments’ available before Airbnb launches their business. I was wondering why other cities don’t have those service-apartment-style properties, and now those are quite common by Airbnb. I really appreciate it.

      In Barcelona, Catalonia, I (we) had a preferred apartment in downtown but since I lost Dr. Stefan, it is hard for me to stay in the same place alone. Therefore I stayed at Mercure® Hotel last time. Unfortunately I can’t visit BCN in 2018 but if I can make it next year, my primary choice will be Hotel Indigo because they are IHG group.
      And you are right, sensei. Sa● Pa● is closed in entire May and November, plus I can’t trip in April and October. I really miss Catalan cuisine.
