Why the Owner Chose Recoleta
We came to Argentina to hike in the Patagonia for a month. On our way back home we stopped in Buenos Aires for a few days. I felt like I had come home!. Buenos Aires has the reputation of being the "most European" city in Latin America...it is that and more. The overlay of Latino energy make this a city that one will never tire of! You have it all here: fun sight seeing, great restaurants, museums, lovely city parks, an exciting art and fashion world, polo, a great old casino, tango ,fun people, street fairs galore and vibrancy found only in the best cities in the world.

We are very clear on what travelers want when they visit a foreign country and set about to create a space that would provide all the creature comforts we like to be accustomed to while experience the wonders of the city and its history. Our apartment has been completely remodeled and blends modern with antique architecture with elegance and our and your enjoyment and comfort in mind.

Beautiful restoration of vintage Recoleta apartment provided all the luxury and convenience that a discriminating traveler could ask for.

I stayed here in December, 2011, along with my Mother and thoroughly loved every minute. This was more space than we needed, but as soon as I saw the listing, I fell in love. I went from Buenos Aires to Rio to a qiute nice apartment, but sulked for hours in Rio, missing the elegance and character of this Recoleta experience. I thoroughly appreciated having the international calling option and washer/drier - we used both extensively and it was just so nice to keep in touch with our envious USA relatives. Although I'd have to stay at this apartment and in Recoleta, it was quite a long walk to the subway. I wish I had realized sooner how affordable the taxis were! The only good news in going the wrong way to find a grocery store was that we found a first rate bakery, which we visited each day. Martin was extremely easy to work with and responsive to any issue or question. The entire rental experience was easy. The condo was very comfortable, especially the bedding. Loved, loved, loved it

Amazing Apartment, Excellent Location, Faultless Service

Review Submitted: 12/23/11
I happened to read the other recent reviews of this apartment and at the risk of sounding redundant, I must say that this apartment is truly better than it looks in the pictures - beautifully furnished and appointed with every necessary amenity. For our first trip to South America, our travel experience staying there was seamless and pleasurable from the moment Martin sent a driver to the airport to pick us up to the moment we regrettably had to return home two weeks later. Sincere thanks to the delightful and helpful owner, Mila, and the indispensable, knowledgeable and accommodating property manager, Martin, for "getting it right".

As the owner of a small luxury hotel in Key West, Florida, I am a bit on the picky side when I choose accomodations. This apartment reallly is amazing. Stunningly beautiful with every possible amenity you could imagine. Spacious, impecably decorated, soaring ceilings, dramatic spaces and a great location. Loved our month there! Martin, the property manager went cheerfully out of his way to assist with any need, including personally delivery of a flower arrangement we ordered. Nothing was too much trouble and he is just the type of manager you would hope to find. Location was also outstanding with a wine store, (stock up on the Malbec) and numerous restaurants within walking distance! We had a marvelous time in BA and will definately return!

I wish to thank Nancy and all the lovely people who have visited Buenos Aires in the past 2 years and stayed at our property. those of you who posted, I thank you much,a s well as those who sent me your kind notes! It is Martin and my objective to create a space for our guests that enhances their visit to this amazing city. I have had guests who tell us that they don't even want to leave the apartment as they feel so pampered! A tee hee, I am sure, but also a complement. We hope to see you all back again and that all our future guests feel as comfortable and welcome. Thank you again BA lovers!Your comments make all our work worth while. Mila

What A Wonderful Apt! and Owner! and Manager!

Review Submitted: 07/03/11
We have just left this lovely apt. after 2 1/2 weeks in BA and other places in Argentina. The apt sounded good in the VRBO listing and it lived up to its description. The building is lovely where old world charm meets modern design. There is plenty of room, we were 5 adults and everybody enjoyed having their own space. Everything was clean and the beds were comfy. We didn't really use the kitchen except for coffee but you could easily cook in it. The owner in California is super to work with and Martin, the property manager, in BA is too. He made car arrangements for us that were fine. We were caught in the volcano ash problems and didn't know if our flight would go until the last minute but Martin helped us make our airport plans. We had a little rainstorm problem with a leak and Martin was on it immediately. My daughter had been in BA for a semester study abroad so we had a built-in city guide but I would not hesitate to call Martin for things to do in BA. Also. the location is FABULOUS. There is lots of the city that should be seen and I think Recoleta is very well located. You can get anywhere in a taxi, available right out the front door, and there is a lot within walking distance of the apt. in the way of dining, shopping, and sightseeing. When I come back to BA I hope to stay here again.

Everything about this apartment was perfect. Location, building, interior design (beautiful and incredibly spacious). We spent two weeks here last month, and like another reviewer, I miss it already. The owner in California (Mila) and her onsite manager, Martin, couldn't be more nice and accommodating. Absolutely no complaints - just muy muy bueno!

This apartment was all we could expect. We have stayed in apartments in Recoleta before and this was by far the best. The apartment is very elegant. The bedrooms are spacious and the marble bathrooms are beautiful as is the living area with fabulous chandeliers. It is well located with many restaurants in easy walking distance. We enjoyed our rides in the Humphrey Bogart elevator. Mila, the owner, and Martin, the apartment manager were very helpful and easy to work with. The restaurant on the first floor is very good and we enjoyed sitting outside with a bottle of wine afternoons for people watching and getting to know Phillipe, the owner and his friends. Melos and Los Pinos(ask for Jose) and Rodi are other local restaurants we enjoy, but there are many others as well as the more well known ones around the city like La Cabrera in Palermo. Overall, we had a wonderful stay in a wonderful apartment and are planning a return trip next year.

Renting this lovely apartment was a pleasure from the moment we first contacted the owner in California. She was quick to respond to every question, outlined all the details and made the rental process a snap. The BA management team was professional, helpful and punctual. But the apartment!! Just beautifully decorated and well appointed, spotlessly clean, and everything you could want was there. It is decorated in a graceful combination of contemporary and period pieces that fit the 19th century building perfectly. Travelling with another couple, it was one of the few two bedrooms to have two king beds and equally nice sleeping accomodations. The location is perfect, a few blocks from activities, but a bit more quiet than blocks closer to the cemetary. There's a decent restaurant downstairs when you want that "room service" feel. Last but not least, WiFi worked perfectly, in both the living room and bedroom, wish I could say that about other places we stayed on this trip. I almost hate to write about it, hoping it will be available when we return for a much longer stay!

Tango in Paradise

Review Submitted: 11/28/10
On our ‘quest’ to improve our Tango, my husband and I made our second journey to BA and found the perfect oasis in the heart of Recoleta. The apartment was ‘better than excellent’ and exceeded our expectations, perfect in every way. We are veteran VRBO users and this private residence did not disappoint. Working with Mila in the states and Martin in BA made the whole experience as smooth as gliding across the dance floor! Besides being a beautiful, tastefully appointed and spacious residence, it offered the perfect location for finding everything one would need…fresh fruit stands, sinfully delightful pastries, excellent vino selections, fine dining and all within a short walk. The beautiful hard-wood floors in the living room even provided the perfect venue for taking and practicing our new Tango moves. We always felt secure and the building was quiet. We can’t wait to go back! Barb and Stan, the Man
