Recently returned from a wonderful week in Buenos Aires where 2 friends and I stayed in this property. I have to say, it was a great deal and my friends and I are so glad we chose it. We hadn't been there more than a half hour when Rob called to check in on us and make sure we had arrived safely and had everything we needed. The location is ideal (be SURE to visit the Recoleta Cemetery with your camera; we took large paper and pastels to make rubbings!). A pharmacy is steps from the front door, and a small grocery is just across the street...hint: try the affordable selection of Malbecs on the shelf and grab a bar of chocolate to enjoy with your wine while you gear up between sightseeing and late dinner. Overall, we found this condo to be clean yet modest, with a small/adventurous elevator that will require a few trips to get your luggage upstairs. We always felt safe in this neighborhood. You won't regret this choice, especially if you consider a hotel room a place to rest and sleep, not spend a vacation in.

My 2 friends and I stayed at Rob's apartment for 7ays at the end of Feb. 2012 and it was not only a great apartment but a perfect location in Recoleta. The apt. was only a short distance to the Recoleta cemetary (and also had a great view of the cemetery from the terrace). The apt. is also walking distance to restaurants, cafes, stores and other sights and attractions. We enjoyed the sidewalk cafes for cafe con leche y media lunas every morning. It was definitely a better option than a hotel. We enjoyed walking across the street to the small neighborhood grocery store, buying a bottle of Argentina malbec and sitting in the comfortable living for a glass of wine in the evening. Rob is a fantastic host and thinks of everything you would possibly need for your stay. Loved the binder with all of the information of things to do and places to go in Buenos Aires. Even though I am very familiar with the city he provided information on some tours I did not know were available...for instance the tour of Casa Rosada and Teatro Colon. Thanks Rob for everything you did to make our visit a memorable experience.

We stayed at Rob's apartment for 8 days (December 13-21, 2011) and have nothing but good things to say about the apartment itself but also about Rob, certainly the host with the most. The apartment is in a great location in Recoleta, close to everything you might need amenity-wise (including public transit) as well as within easy walking distance to all kinds of great restaurants, cafes, stores and other sights and attractions. There were four of us, and the apartment suited all our needs and didn't feel crowded at all. It was definitely a treat to be staying there and living like a local, as opposed to renting a hotel room, or rooms in our case. Rob was great to deal with during the planning stage, with all the bases covered so there wouldn't be any surprises. He even made himself available (by phone or email) during our stay just to make sure everything was A-OK. He's a super host and a great guy. If anyone is considering arranging to stay at Rob's apartment we heartily recommend you do it. Thanks Rob for all your help arranging our stay and being there whenever we had any questions, before, during and after our great time in Buenos Aires.

My friend and I settled on Rob's apartment and were absolutely satisfied from the moment we arrived. It is in the best part of town, close to everything you would need and in a secure and very well kept building. The view is amazing and the apartment very welcoming. I look forward to returning here in the future and will not hesitate to recommend this apartment to friends and associates.

My husband and I spent 10 days in this apartment. From day one, everything was very clean, the fixtures were sparkling, beds were very clean and comfortable in every way. Our landlord was more than helpful with all the information we needed to know about staying in Buenos Aires and certainly our neighbourhood. We would be delighted to revisit this apartment again.

Great Place in Recoleta

We recently returned from our trip to BA and thought Rob's place was wonderful! It's comfortable, clean, well stocked, and in a great location. The apartment is bigger than it looks in the pictures and was more than roomy for the four of us (2 couples). We knew we wanted to stay in Recoleta and this apartment is right in the midst of what the area has to offer. We were a 5 minute walk to the Recoleta Cemetary, the artist market in the park outside the cemetary, and to lots of good restaurants. Don't miss the bakery thats a few doors down... great sweets as well as wonderful sandwiches! Also, Rob couldn't have been more helpful. He happened to be down in BA while we were there and took us on a little tour of Recoleta when we arrived! We can't wait to go back to BA and when we do, we will stay at Rob's place.

We spent four nights at Rob's and are so glad we did. The location was perfect. It is right in the middle of everything. The apartment is spotless! That was very important to me and Rob didn't disappoint. We moved on from Buenos Aires and our next place couldn't compete with Rob's apartment. We were spoiled. He was also so helpful prior to the trip. I consider Rob a friend now and I haven't even met him yet. Great guy and great apartment!!

So glad that I picked this property for our (two ladies) stay in BA last week as we went there to celebrate my birthday. The posted pictures do not do it justice...it is spotless, so comfortable and in a great location. You will want for nothing as the owner has it well stocked right down to lots of tips on where to go (brochures, maps and his personal notes) etc. After getting the lay of the land, you will realize why Recoleta is the perfect neighborhood as it is safe, clean and there is so much to do and see that is close by. It is easy to get to all parts of the city from this location. The owner is so helpful and truly enjoys sharing his special place with visitors. You can tell he strives to make sure your trip to BA is a great experience...and, ours was - Thanks Robbie!!
Owner response:I hope that you'll consider visiting again. There's alot more of Argentina to experience!!

Review Submitted: 08/19/11
We enjoyed our stay very much! Rob was very on top of things and checked in regularly and took everything seriously and was very reliable. Building seemed very safe (although no 24/7 security- seemed to be daytime only- it may be my mistake I thought it was 24/7 in the original listing). Regardless, it seemed to be a very secure area, we saw women walking alone in the middle of the night and we felt very safe both in the building and in Recoleta. Great cafe across the street (Pilar)..little markets very close and a bakery, pharmacy etc. and SO close to the cemetery! Taxis are the easiest form of transport from here if you need to go longer distances and are cheap and easy/quick to get. Rate seemed pretty reasonable for size/location/view. We chose it for the view, the 2 bedrooms, 1 full bath and the 1/2 bath (toilet and sink)..this seemed to be a harder combo to come by when we were looking. We also chose it because Rob was very easy to deal with and seemed to have a lot of pride in his place, and we liked that Rob lives in our home state, so it was easy to communicate with him and he was always available. The apartment was very livable and laid out well. We came in the winter and found the temperature inside always perfect. Things that were helpful to us- the guest book in the apt., where people put things they had seen, restaurants etc. On our own we found 2 sites badelivery (can order food/wine online in english/spanish and there's a huge variety and comes fast) and landingpadba for transportation from/to airport for $50 (clean newer cars waiting w/ a sign w/ your name at pickup). Overall it was a very good experience and hopefully I was able to give an objective viewpoint... we would go back any time! Thanks Rob! Great place!

Rob's Wonderful Recoleta Apartment

Review Submitted: 08/15/11
My family of four stayed for 3 weeks in Rob's apartment and are so happy we chose his over so many others that were available. Rob was great to work with; he's charming and very involved in making sure your stay is wonderful. The apartment is very well situated, with transportation, restaurants, movie theater, shopping, and so much more. The view from the apartment is also great! The porter at the building and the cleaning lady were very friendly and helpful as well. I would definitely recommend Rob's apartment to anyone looking for a well appointed, well located, safe, and convenient place to stay in Buenos Aires. I would also reccomend Fred and Karina from Silverstar for your transportation. They were punctual, friendly, bilingual, and I can't say enough about them as well. GREAT VACATION! Marissa and family
Owner response:I'm happy that I met you. I'll definitely stay in-touch!!
