Del Cerro Departamentos x 4

There’s a pharmacy downstairs, well-rated restaurants nearby, and a large supermarket about a 20-minute walk behind the property. The kitchen is spacious and well equipped, the layout works well, and the accommodation is affordable. Heating and hot water were reliable, check-in was easy, and the friendly host answered WhatsApp messages right away. You can pay by cash or card. For travelers without a car, I think the best spot is near the La Anonima supermarket on the main road. The farther you get from that store, the fewer restaurants, cafes, exchange offices, and taxi stands there are. Uber isn’t available in El Calafate!!! If possible, rent a car. If you can’t rent an automatic, shorten your stay. There were also quite a few problems with the room. It was dusty, the shower drained poorly, there was lots of dog hair on the bedding, presumably from a previous guest’s dog, the bathroom smelled a bit like a sewer, there was no hairdryer, and the TV only showed a screen asking for payment. It seemed like the room hadn’t been cleaned or checked before we arrived. I didn’t tell the host. Right after checking in, I spent two hours cleaning it myself with cleaning supplies and wet wipes before using it. I’ve stayed in other places in El Calafate. A decent room costs 300,000 to 400,000 pesos per night, while cheaper places are very old and far from the center. Restaurant meals usually cost around 30,000 to 40,000 pesos per person, which can add up on a longer stay. There aren’t many cafes for the number of tourists, so they’re always full. Even the convenience store next to the gas station charges over 5,000 pesos for a short-sized Americano. Maybe because it’s a tourist area, everything costs more than in Buenos Aires. This place is quite affordable and has a perfect kitchen, so it seems like a good option for backpackers.

The apartment was very functional for four people, spotless, and comfortable. Great location, friendly service, and everything was excellent. Highly recommended!

Javier was very helpful and gave us advice from our first contact. The apartment was excellent, with everything needed for a few days in El Calafate, and everything felt very new. The location was unbeatable. We’d happily return and highly recommend it.

The location was excellent and the apartment was spotless. We hadn’t realized it was one flight up, and there was nowhere to store our suitcases, but otherwise everything was fine.
