Beautifully updated in 2006 & 2008, this classic apartment on a leafy street in the heart of the much sought-after and very central Palermo neighborhood offers the perfect location for visitors who really want to know the city. It provides easy access to both shopping & cultural activities as well as to the many amenities & parks of Palermo (Chico & Soho) and Recoleta. $$pecial Pricing from Nov 27th through mid-December due to cancellation!!

Located on the third floor of a classic, "rationalist" building constructed during the rule of Juan & Eva Peron, this beautiful apartment has been wonderfully updated with designer touches throughout. SEE GUEST COMMENTS BELOW. This condo offers two large bedrooms, living and dining rooms open to one another, a third smaller bedroom known as a ‘dependencia,’ a full kitchen, one & three-quarters baths and a balcony with table and chairs to soak up great morning sun. All the day rooms and the larger bedrooms have great light. One will never feel cramped as the apartment occupies its own floor and has approximately 950 square feet (92 square meters).

This is an ideal location. It's a perfect spot for anyone wanting to explore the Buenos Aires of Borges on foot. The apartment is located a in a very safe neighborood just a block and a half from both Las Heras Park and Shopping Alto Palermo (shopping mall), four blocks from the botanical gardens and easy walking distance to the zoo and the extensive Palermo parks system. Within two blocks there are many fine restaurants, cafes, stores and eight movie screens. In addition, it is about a ten minute walk through elegant sections of Palermo and Recoleta to Recoleta cemetery and the Buenos Aires Design Center. It is also about a 10 minute walk to the heart of Palermo Viejo (aka Palermo Soho) and then on to "Palermo Hollywood." The "D" line of the Subte (the city’s subway system), located just two blocks away, can whisk you to Teatro Colon in seven minutes and to Plaza de Mayo and the Casa Rosada in ten. And taxis are never hard to find. The Eva Peron Museum, the Decorative Arts Museum, MALBA, and several other museums are all short walks. And for those interested in what's known as "health tourism" numerous of the city's many fine clinics are located nearby.

The apartment comes with a full complement of amenities. The well-equipped kitchen includes a washer/dryer as well as standard appliances such as microwave, coffee-maker and blender. The living room includes a large screen TV (29 inch), DVD, and home theatre audio system. The apartment is equipped with high-speed Internet access, Wi-fi, a printer/scanner/fax and an Internet telephone with free long distance to the US, Canada, UK, France, Ireland, Italy & Spain. You will never feel cramped here because the rooms are large and the ceilings high--10 ft (3 meters). The apartment measures 950 sq feet (92 sq meters). With only seven apartments, the building affords maximum privacy. If you like the photos you will very much enjoy the apartment!

  • This apartment will always remind me of ten of the loveliest days away from New York City I've had in some time. Clean, well-situated, and spacious, I'd recommend this apartment to anyone looking to come to Buenos Aires.

  • One of the best decisions we made on our fantastic trip to BsAs was staying at this apartment. Being my first time renting an apartment like this (instead of staying in a hotel) I was a little nervous, but everyone involved was very friendly, accommodating, and helpful. We were a group of four friends and it was perfect for us and our needs; separate rooms, a functional kitchen, and nice common areas. The building is conveniently located, well-kept and quiet. The apartment itself is plenty spacious, with lots of light, quality furnishings, and it also has all of the little things of which you might find yourself in need (i.e. wine glasses, a hair dryer, a few extra electrical converters, etc.) I particularly appreciated that it has plenty of hot water & water pressure, as well as two phones: one for local calls and one for US calls For all of the great things we saw and did in the city, one of my favorite memories is coming back to the apartment every day in the late afternoon, all of us grabbing a snack and a glass of wine and sitting around in the living room chatting, or out on the patio watching the sunset. The apartment was perfect particularly for that time of day, before we took our naps and then went out to dinner & wherever else our BsAs evening took us...

  • I stayed at this great condo back in December 2006 and then again in early April 2009. It's a beautiful place in a vibrant neighborhood: modern/art deco style with large rooms, lots of light, great location. The condo is on a tree lined street very close to several gorgeous old parks, the subway line to the city center, shopping, and many restaurants and cafes. Everything worked, there's a new quiet AC system and lots of water pressure. I would cerrtainly recommend staying here and look forward to returning soon.

  • One of the best decisions we made was staying at this apartment. Central to everything, comfortable, stylish(!),very well maintained, great neighborhood. Can't say enough about the efficient management. We were met on the street the day of our arrival and walked through every feature and made to feel right at home. They just made it easy. The U.S. phone was a huge plus since ours was something of a working vacation. The kitchen is well laid out and appointed. (Carrefour around the corner!) Perfect for two. Probably just as comfortable for more. Two thumbs up! Thanks!

  • We stayed in the apartment for two weeks in late May and early June 2008. The furnishings, location and amenities were all as advertised -- very comfortable and satisfactory. The owner's restaurant and entertainment suggestions were very useful, and he also gave us great guidance for trips which we made outside Buenos Aires, using the apartment as a base. We highly recommend the apartment.

  • We stayed in this lovely and convenient apartment for 2 weeks in March, 2008. The balcony is perfect for watching the hustle and bustle of this very interesting Latin American city. The location is excellent, safe, close to subway, and taxis. Many attractions, shopping and restaurants are within an easy walk. The US phone and other technology was very convenient, shortening the virtual distance to home and business. The apartment is well appointed, with all the conveniences. The storehouse of local information compiled by the owners helped us pick and choose those attractions and restaurants of interest to us. We felt so at home in this warm and inviting environment. We highly recommend it to others.

  • We spent mid-October to mid-November here and commented every day on our good fortune in finding such a great location and delightful apartment. The location was perfect for exploration of Buenos Aires--on a beautiful residential street lined with huge, shady sycamore trees; 2-3 blocks from everything--Palermo's wonderful parks, the Subte station, huge indoor shopping center,shops of all kinds, great restaurants. Whenever we returned from our explorations and emerged from the Subte station, we felt like we were home. The apartment is newly and very nicely decorated,great kitchen,nice sized living room and dining area, very comfortable bedrooms and beds,a nice balcony where we had leisurely breakfasts and watched neighborhood life. There were just two of us the first two weeks, then we were joined by our son,daughter-in-law and 8 year old granddaughter and it worked wonderfully for us. The owners and resident manager are very accommodating and excellent to work with. We hope to return to BA for more visits and wouldn't consider staying anywhere else.

  • Loved the apartment! We stayed a month. It is as good as it looks in the photos. The location was ideal for our needs. In wonderful Palermo, near everything you might need and central to anywhere in BA. We were on a working trip, so the wifi and fee Vonage line (free LD to N. America and many places in Europe) was a dream! Can't recommend the apt. highly enough. Would definitely return.

  • We stayed in this lovely apartment for 10 days in March 2007. The online photos and description are very accurate. We were three adults and had plenty of room to make the space feel like home. The location is excellent for either walking to shops and restaurants or taking a taxi to other parts of B.A. The IP phone is a plus, and the landlord and local manager are both very helpful when called upon. Without a doubt, we would do it all over again. Two thumbs up!

  • I stayed at this lovely apartment with my family in January 2007. It was perfectly located for sightseeing, shopping and relaxing in outdoor cafes. Taxis were available outside the front door and the subte was a short walk away. The apartment is beautifully furnished! We relaxed on the balcony watching the street life below and enjoyed cocktails in the public rooms before going out to wonderful dinners. It was definite plus to be able to use our computer and to have cable TV. We loved the feeling of having our "own" apartment in vibrant, sophisticated Buenos Aires! We'll be back!
