What a ln absolutely wonderful stay we had! Barbara was super responsive, and views are true from the window. We stayed in apartment 2, which is on the ground floor and faces northeast, and I'd really recommend it as you look out at mountains in both windows. Well insulated (important but not always available in other places we stayed in the winter Patagonia), excellent heating with two radiators in the living area and one each in the bathroom and bedroom. Hot water works easily and had good pressure. Everything was super clean. Feels newly renovated and it is spacious for two people, very very comfortable and felt like home when we came back. You have everything you needed to cook, including a microwave, oven, coffee maker and toaster. Tea and coffee available, it would just be good if there was some cooking oil as we were only here for two nights and didn't want to buy a whole bottle (minor). We were told by locals that the tap water in El Chalten is drinkable and very good. A super cozy bed, lots of lovely warm layers. Quiet as anything and its location sits accessible both to center and to the walks to the Mount Fitz Roy trails. We came at the beginning of July. Really not much was open, I mean literally, there's only one pub open and two equipment shops. A small grocery store and a bigger one. We were glad we took a Barbara's advice to get some shopping done in El Calafete to bring with us on the bus. Barbara can provide the number for a taxi. Although it's a 20-minute walk, there is a bit of a hill at the end and with a bit of cold, snow and ice, it was worth paying the 8000 ARS (possible to pay by credit card). We would 100% come back and stay here if we ever come back to El Chalten. Incredible value for money for what we paid in winter.
