Owner's Map of Recoleta
This apartment was the place where my brother and I grew up. Later on, when we had our own families, we moved out, but were only too conscious about what a special place we had been living, in spite that in our younger years we took it for granted to live in such a top location, without being aware that we were very privileged. In this apartment we spent all our school and university years, and still today our friends remember it in a very special way. It has been fully refurbished by a well known architect, but due to some original books and furniture from Vienna, it still maintains that unique european style and atmosphere.

My daughter and I enjoyed our stay in this apartment during our visit to Argentina in June 2011. The apartment is spacious and very well maintained. The beds are comfortable. The kitchen and bathrooms are kept spotlessly clean. The apartment is located in a safe neighborhood. My daughter and I walked back several times after late dinners and never had any fear for our safety. Patio Bullrich, one of the nicest shopping mall in Buenos Aires is just around the corner. It takes 15 minutes to walk to the Rocoleta Cemetery. The Retiro Train Station is within walking distance and is where we took the train to Tigre. After a day of sightseeing, it feels very relaxing to return to the apartment where there are plenty of spaces to rest, watch TV, or enjoy a cup of matte. What impressed us the most more than the comfort of this apartment is the people, who made a big difference. Sandra, the property rental manager, was friendly, responsive, and highly professional. Due to our unexpected flight cancellation, we had to reschedule our arrival time at the last minute. Sandra worked beyond her call of duty to receive us. Ricardo, the apartment owner, sent us very nice and warm email messages when he heard about the difficulties we encountered on our flights. When we finally arrived at the apartment Pedro, the building manager, and his wife Estella opened the door with welcoming smiles on their faces. All of them were extremely honest, sincere, and truly care for their guests. Their kindness will forever be remembered.

I am writing to express my gratitude after spending a week at the apartment located in Libertad 1693. I am 33 years old. I was born in Buenos Aires but I currently live in New York. The apartment is modern, spacious and cozy. It can easily accommodate an entire family. The remodeled kitchen and bathrooms are properly equipped. Guests can easily cook without missing home. It is located in one of the nicest and safest neighborhoods of Buenos Aires. I felt safe at all times, including coming late at night or jogging along Libertador Av…. You can find numerous restaurants and what you need at walking distance. It’s only half a block from a gorgeous mall and only minutes away (by taxi) from Puerto Madero or Palermo. There is a recommendable restaurant/cafe right next to the building conveniently opened till late night. The apartment has high-speed wireless Internet and they even provided me a cell phone!! Thanks again Ricardo for the hospitality. I highly recommend the apartment for the perfect stay in Buenos Aires.

The apartment at 1693 Libertad is the perfect place to get to know Buenos Aires. The location couldn’t be better! It is perfect for walking to all of the best parts of the city, with great restaurants and terrific shopping just nearby. Recoleta is definitely the most charming area in all of Buenos Aires, although the whole city is just magnificent. Patio Bullrich is the nicest mall in town and it is only a few steps away. The Cemeterio de la Recoleta must be seen to be believed and it too is just a short walk from the apartment, as are so many beautiful parks, museums and the most important landmarks. For day trips to Tigre or Uruguay, the Retiro train station and the Ferry port are also an easy walk. You can venture further on foot or take just a short cab ride to see Palermo, the Center, Plaza de Mayo, the theater district, San Telmo, Retiro and Puerto Madero. Take a cab to the Caminito in La Boca which is also a must see for great people watching, street artists, lots of colour and tango in the streets. Be sure to take a walk to and down Florida street (also very nearby) which is a great walking and shopping street not accessible to cars. There are just so many things that are so easily accessible from the apartment that we never ran out of things to do!The apartment itself is spacious, very clean and has been very nicely updated. It has all the conveniences you could ask for and is simply a wonderfully comfortable place to call home during your visit to Buenos Aires. The kitchen and bathrooms are modern, there is lots of closet space and our bed was very comfortable. Although we were just two, there is plenty of room and beds for 5 people. There is a nice breakfast area in the kitchen and also a separate spacious dining area. The comfortable sitting room with satellite TV is a great place to chill out after a long day of touring around the city. We highly recommend this apartment as a great place to stay. We had a terrific time there and really hated to leave.Enjoy!!Lisa & Mike Austin, TX
Owner response:This is Pedro , the owner, answering you. My brother and I are managing the rental of our former home in Recoleta. What you do not know is following, in reference to this apartment: A very beautiful book, 700 pages thick, brillantly edited, has just (January 2010) been published: LIVING IN DREAM CITIES by Loft Publications. There you can find in pages 158, 164, 165, 166 and 167 amazing fotos of our apartment in Recoleta. Only 2 other apartments in Buenos Aires were selected together with our place, to represent the living style of this city. You can find further details of this book in the website of Amazon UK.. We are very proud of this distinction.

We cannot thank Ricardo and Pedro enough for making their beautiful apartment available to visitors to Buenos Aires. The location of the apt. is perfect - so many restaurants, shopping and tourist attractions within walking distance. The restaurants that Ricardo recommended to were all wonderful. Our time in B.A. was fantastic and made that much better by our perfect accommodations. Thank you both again. The Diodoardos and the Moftakars of Sacramento, CA.

We had a very good stay in Buenos Aires. Your apartment suited us nicely.The location is great. It's easy to get taxis going in any direction. The neighborhood is very pleasantwith many restaurants, cafes, clubs and parks within easy walking distance.In case anybody asks about estancias, I would recommend overnight stays at El Ombú in San Antonio de Areco, and La Oriental located about 250 Km west of Buenos Aires. They were both lovely, especially so because we were off-season, I think. Each has a website for additional info. For even more information on estancias, google Red Argentina de Turismo Rural.Avis, Thrifty and Deitrich car rental agencies are very conveniently located. You may want to include that information in your correspondence with visitors.I left several restaurant recommendations, etc in your Visitors Notebook.Thanks for your general assistance.We had an excellent time in Argentina.Ciao!

Ricardo and Pedro are great people to work with. We had two groups of people travel on seperate planes with various delays and issues. But Ricardo and family were so flexible and understanding with all issues. They were great. As far as the appartment. It is clean and close and convienient to all attractions in the area. Very nice set up. On reccomendation from Elsa we took the train to Tigre, what a nice trip. We went to flea markt there and also took the tour thru all waterways. It was intresting and a lot of fun. If traveling to BA their appartments is perfect for all activities. - Enjoy
