It provides easy access to both shopping & cultural activities as well as to the many amenities & parks of Palermo (Chico & Soho) and Recoleta.
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, toaster and blender. The living room includes a large screen TV (32" inch LDC), DVD, and self-powered speakers for you iPod or similar devices.

I stayed in this property for 3 weeks and absolutely loved it. The location was excellent, close to Starbucks, Shopping, Metro, and Parks. The apartment itself is very nice, well equipped and spacious. I was very pleased with the office that is set up, I was able to communicate with the US easily, fax/print documents and the WiFi signal was strong.

My husband, adult children, and I spent one week in this apartment in May. We had a wonderful time and the apartment was very comfortable and in a great neighborhood. The weather was somewhat cool when we were there so it was very nice walking around, and we did a lot of that. Close to several lovely parks. Arenales is a great street to just walk, it will take you all the way to Avenida 9 de Julio. We found ourselves going back to La Pharmacia to eat regularly, it was so good. And if you don't speak Spanish very well, they actually have their menus in English too, and they are very friendly. Don't waste your time or money at La Payuca. Martin was very helpful, the whole experience at the apartment was positive. The internet phone to the U.S. was particularly nice to keep in touch. Even though there were five of us, we always felt like we had some space if we needed it. Just a short distance to a grocery store, and lots of options for eating out. I would definitely go back.

My friend and I stayed in this beautiful 2 bedroom apartment at the end of February for 5 nights. We had a great time, great neighborhood, great food nearby, lots of shopping and convenient to the metro. The pictures don't even do the apt justice, it's really big and well air conditioned and lots of closets, comfortable beds, clean bathroom, good linens and Martin was great. He greeted us, took our deposit and then was available by cell as we needed him and later came back as arranged to return our deposit. We'll go back to Buenos aires and hope we can stay here again.
Owner response:In addition, there is a third bedroom and a three-quarters bath at the other end of the apartment which Maeva and her friend did not use.

Great Palermo location to experience the Porteño lifestyle

We just returned from spending two weeks in Buenos Aires and couldn’t have chosen a better vacation rental in Buenos Aires. Bruce & Tom have created a space of comfort and elegant simplicity that beckons its visitors to experience Buenos Aires as an adopted Porteño. The condos corner location and art deco architecture allow plenty of sunlight to flow into the merging of modern décor with original artwork and classic hardwood floors. The Palermo location places the visitor in a residential neighborhood dotted with all the necessities of the Porteño lifestyle, - cafes, panderias, gourmet food shops, restaurants, parks, museums, salons, lavendarias, fruit and vegetable stands and is just a few blocks from the Green line of the Subte which runs parallel to Santa Fe Avenue a main artery for another favorite Porteño pastime (shopping)! The condo is well equipped with helpful travel guides and personal and guest recommendations and if one is inspired to blaze their own path toward discovery the fast internet access is extremely helpful for gathering information. If you need to connect with family, friends or work the free international phone line is a true gift and enabled us to surprise my parents who were celebrating their 50th wedding anniversary in Montreal! The kitchen is well equipped and allows those that have a culinary passion to enjoy the allure of the cities market culture and great wine shops. Martin is a kind and welcoming and served as our BA local liaison. He welcomed and oriented us and stepped in with invaluable information and expertise in making our experience in Palermo the best that it could be! Buenos Aires exceeded all of our expectations and we are certain to return to this memorable city and to the condo that became our Porteño home. Thank you Martin, Bruce and Tom for setting the stage for an unforgettable experience!

This well located, clean, safe, modern but excellent period details, apartment is a complete find! The owners and on-site manager are extremely helpful Shopping and varied wonderful restaurants are all within walking distance. The bus and ¨subte¨ (subway) are both 2 minutes walk away! The laundry facilities in the apartment are a huge plus, the water is hot and the kitchen has everything you might need! We will look forward to returning to Buenos Aires if we can stay here again!

Mt family of 5 stayed in Bruce's apartment for 4 nights. It is fantastic, great location, modern quality furnishings, very comfortable beds and everything provided for an enjoyable stay. I have stayed in 2 other rental apartments in BA and this is by far the best. In addition to the apartment itself, Bruce responded very promptly to my inquiries and everything went extremely smoothly with being let into the apartment, checkout and paying. We will definitely try to stay here again when back in Buenos Aires.

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.

We enjoyed are stay at this well appointed and centrally located condo to many great restaurants, shopping and parks. It has a modern feeling and is very comfortable. The pictures on the website were very representative of the actual condo. We made several meals and cocktails in the well stocked kitchen. During those warm humid nights, the a/c was very efficient in keeping the place cool. The patio was a nice place to sit and have coffee in the morning and drinks at night. The two bathrooms came in handy too. The building is very clean and secure. We will definitely being staying here again.
