Location: Buenos Aires, Argentina, South America (Recoleta, "La Isla") View Map

Accommodations:  Condominium - Semi-floor, 3 Bedrooms, 3 Baths (Sleeps 5)

For most foreign visitors, Recoleta and Palermo are the top residential neighborhood choices in Buenos Aires. The best-kept secret is that just between them lies La Isla (The Island), an exquisite, small hill surrounded not by water but by parks and grand staircases that keep major traffic at bay.

Gelly y Obes, just two blocks in length, is the main street of La Isla, the address of the mansion of the British Ambassador and that of the most aristocratic and private Argentines. During your visit to Buenos Aires, you will have the chance to stay in La Isla, at a fantastic 140 square meter NON-SMOKING apartment comfortably appointed for four or five guests with great living room/dining room, study, three bedrooms, three bathrooms, wireless Internet, phone land line and a complementary cell phone to keep in touch with your travel companions.

You will be at walking distance from Recoleta, with it's restaurants, cabarets, multiplex, artisan street fairs, and cultural center. You will also be at three blocks from the Museo de Bellas Artes and two from the National Public Library. But you will be above it all, in a capsule of comfort and peace, that you can leave only when you are ready for noise and excitement.

  • We enjoyed this beautiful and spacious apartment during our recent stay in Buenos Aires. Everything we needed was there, including beautiful bathrobes. The apartment is so close to Buenos Aires Design as well as the famous Recoleta Cemetary. Maria is wonderful and so willing to help as needed. I hope we can visit this great city again and stay again.

L'organizzazione in relazione all'accoglienza è molto efficiente, Rosalia,la responsabile dell'appartamento, è una ragazza molto professionale e disponibile. Consigliato!

  • Now back in a more hospitable climate. Nevertheless, Bs As was sensational, without a doubt the apartment made all the difference. It is decorated in very good taste. I mean, it even had sinks with art nouveau legs! It had it all: the location was unbeatable, the doormen were really top notch, taxis right at the door, three bedrooms with three bathrooms, Egyptian cotton sheets, down pillows, wireless Internet, Bose sound system, etc. Everything works and it works great. A serious place to consider for our return here. This time though, not during the mercilessly cold austral winter.
    
    Homeowner Response:
    Dear Antonio, Thank you for your appreciation. The Winter of 2007 was unusually cold (it snowed for the first time in 60 years in Buenos Aires!). In all likelihood, the weather will be better next time you visit us. 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
