The perfect location -- Recoleta's best kept secret

After three weeks of rather arduous travel in Chile and Argentina’s Patagonia region, this apartment was the perfect respite for four adults. It is just as the owner described and enough space for four to each find a private corner for reading or catching up on emails. We prepared dinner in the apartment several nights during our week long stay and found the kitchen to be well equipped and several mercados nearby from which to select fresh food. Buenos Aires is a vibrant city with traffic congestion and considerable street noise. The apartment is on a quiet secure street and only a block away are ATMs and ample taxi service. An excellent choice and we will book it when we return to BuenosAires, one week is not enough to experience this wonderful city. We would highly recommend this apartment to friends and family.

Owner response:Thank you for your kind comments. It will be a pleasure to host you back. Carlos and Alex

Wonderful stay in Buenos Aires

We three adults rented the apartment for two weeks. This is a tastefully decorated, large and airy apartment. It is on a very desirable street, ideally located, a few blocks from Recoleta Cemetary and the Fine Arts Museum. The building is relatively new with a door attendant, elevator and is well-maintained. The apartment is in top notch condition and is managed efficiently by an agent in BA who arranges for the weekly, no-charge maid service, calls taxi services and helps out in any way needed. In summary, we thoroughly enjoyed staying in the apartment and it enhanced our sojourn in Buenos Aires..

First of all, this review is well overdue. We initially had planned to stay in one of the owners' other apartment, but there was a slight issue and they graciously offered up this apartment as an alternative. This was our first apartment rental and were a little hesitant, but the owner was incredibly easy to work with and very responsive. The condo exceeded our expectations. It was incredibly quiet, immaculate, luxurious, and in a perfect location. They have ample amounts of reference information for you on hand, e.g. personal restaurant reviews, shopping suggestions, etc. This was extremely helpful as we didn't always have enough energy at the end of the day(s) to do our own research! I can honestly say we could not have asked for anything more. Thank you for making our stay in Buenos Aires such a fantastic one!

Owner response:Thank you for your kind remarks. It's always a pleasure to contribute to make someone's visit to Buenos Aires an unforgettable experience. Carlos.

My family stayed in this well-appointed and maintained apartment while we attended a wedding and did touring of the city and area. Very comfortable and centrally located. Laundry and wi-fi were great. The description on VRBO was accurate. The owner was very helpful and Maria the local agent was outstanding in getting us organized and responding to requests. We would rent again.

Owner response:Thank you Gerald for you kind words.

Apartment is exactly as depicted, if not more beautiful. Very centrally located in a beautiful part of town, incredibly easy to grab a taxi or bus. Restaurants, groceries, bank and more within 1 block as well the famous Recoleta Cemetary. Well maintained and the apartment manager Maria is incredibly gracious and helpful. Would stay here again!!

We cannot say enough good things about the owner, the manager, the condo, as well as Buenos Aires. Everything was handled in a professional manner from the initial contact through to our departure. The condo was perfect in comfort, location, and convenience. It was a very safe and secure location. All within easy walking was a bank,grocery store, restaurants, beautiful parks, museums, shopping, art fairs and more. We definitely recommend this condo as an excellent place to enjoy your vacation.

After 8 days in a kayak in Patagonia I needed a dose of the big city and a spacious apartment. I was not dissapointed by either B.A. or this fabulous apartment. Everything is better than depicted. Maria the manager is awesome! All your answers are had with a quick phone call to her. Everything you need is less than 5 blocks away. You can walk easily to the Cemetary (Don't miss it!)Tons of restaurants, shops, bars, pharmacies, internet cafes (Locotarios)and a huge grocery store. I ate at the apt more than out, it was so relaxing and the kitchen is great. The apartment is amazingly quiet for being smack dab in the center of all the best of B.A. It is a beautiful neighborhood and very safe. Thank you Carlos and Maria...I will be back.

Owner response:Dear Phillip, It was a pleasure to host you. Thank you for taking the time to write this comment. We'd love to have you back. We have special treats for returning guests. :-) Carlos

Hola Carlos: De regreso en un clima más amable en Miami. No obstante Bs As fue sensacional, sin duda el departamento hizo toda la diferencia. Está decorado con excelente buen gusto; bueno ¡hasta el detalle art nouveau de las patas de lavabo! La ubicación inmejorable, los porteros de primera. Taxis a la puerta. Tres habitaciones, tres baños, sábanas de algodón egipcio, almohadas de pluma, internet inalámbrico, Bose, etc. Todo funciona y funciona bien. En fin, un gran lugar a considerar para un regreso, pero esta vez no en el inclemente invierno austral. Recibe un cordial saludo, Antonio y Kalicha Sánchez
