Two weeks of luxury in the Art Deco hotel was leaving the bank balance a bit the worse for wear so booked an apartment share with Expanish with an argentine girl called Carolina.
All seemed well the apartment was a turn of the century building close to Recoleta and Av Santa Fe. The rooms were small but at least I had my own- the sheets ere threadbare but seemed clean. The bathroom was experience a German toilet allowed perusal of one´s movements... nice!
Using the shower on the first morning the tap fell off and I broke a glass all over the wet floor while trying to rtrieve it! Once finally in the shower the ater as chilly and the shower curtain stuck to you through out the shower- and an outline on the curtain seemed to indicate it had done this to others and for some time- shudder!
We shared with another Brit Danielle who was pleasant enough in English but insisted speaking bad spanish most of the time which tended to cause me to walk off in disgust disguised as fatigue while Rob attempted to persevere with her.She told us her sheets were simply turned around when she took the room from someone else and that had been three weeks earlier!!
Never thought I would say this but sfter this place I welcomed hostels as luxury! I can forgive much with clean sheets and a good hot shower!
