Beautiful two-bedroom French apartment (70 m2) in the heart of the safe, upscale neighborhood of La Recoleta.
Recoleta is a fabulous neighborhood known for its European architecture, top restaurants, and luxury designer shopping including Fendi and Ralph Lauren, Etiqueta Negra and other local high-end boutiques, and the Patio Bullrich indoor shopping galleria. Walking through the neighborhood, you’ll also stroll by high-end furniture shops, bakeries, chocolate and wine stores (with international shipping), and several park plazas surrounded by cafes, coffeehouses, and ice cream shops. Clean and sophisticated, Recoleta is an absolute haven from the noise and roughness of the city. Luxury spas and gyms are also right in the neighborhood.
For cultural activities and entertainment, the apartment is in a prime location: just 5 blocks from the Recoleta Cemetery, Buenos Aires Design, Recoleta Artisan Fair on weekends, Village Recoleta--the largest cinema complex in the city---and the national art museum. MALBA, the must-visit modern/contemporary Latin American art museum with museum café, is a short cab ride away. Right down the street are Alvear Palace Hotel (5 stars) and its top restaurant, La Bourgogne. Downtown and the restaurants of Puerto Madero are nearby, as well as the weekend antique fair in San Telmo. Theater, opera, music events, and of course tango shows all take place within a short cab ride of the apartment.
