Nice and warm house in downtown Calafate
Host with quick and friendly communication, we had no check-in problems and also helped us by making our check-out a little more flexible until the time of our pick-up at the airport. House in line with ads, we had no issues whatsoever, all travelers had a peaceful stay. The house is large and well-equipped, he treated us very well Very quiet neighborhood and short walk to the center, we were very pleased with the location as well. There is a market and some restaurants near the place, in case you don't want to go downtown. I would definitely return to the site on a return to El Calafate.

Best View !
This is a nice place. Our room had a view of the lake, and there are a few good restaurants within a short walking distance ( <5 minutes). You can walk to the main drag, but that is probably 10 - 15 minutes away. Heated floors are great for chilly nights. Included breakfast was good and the staff was very nice and welcoming.

Cerro Castillo Apartment
The apartment has beautiful views of the lake, all the basic necessities and it’s very well located! The host is helpful, responsive and friendly.
