Babel Botanico

This is apparently an apartment in an apartment building with only a security guard at the desk. There is no reception desk. They REQUIRE you to call them by phone THE DAY BEFORE checking in and you get the entry codes to self-check in. They do not have email, texting, or any other messaging app. Only a telephone call. In our case, we tried once the day before and got no answer, but were traveling and didn't have another chance. The day of checking in, we tried once in the morning, again no answer, and couldn't try again until getting back to Argentina from Uruguay that evening. I found a helpful waitress to call from a local phone, but they do not answer their phone after 5pm, apparently, leaving us to sleep in the park I guess. It was a holiday weekend and took us until 2:30am to find somewhere to sleep that night. These people need to find another business. I give them my lowest possible rating.

Decent to good location. A few restaurants 3-5 min walk. Near lots of public transportation. Essy access in and out. It's a bachelor apt.

The check-in process was complex, but it all worked well. This is accommodation best suited for longer stays, not a short overnight as i did. That said, it was quiet, and met all my needs including proximity to the airport.
