Why the Owner Chose Buenos Aires
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.
Owner's Map of Buenos Aires
Stan and I have traveled abroad extensively and own a popular Bed and Breakfast in the San Francisco Bay Area. 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.

Homeowner Response:
Sarah and family visited our property on their first leg of an around the world trip. When they booked we discussed the non-child friendly nature of the apartment. They felt that their well behaved little ones would do fine there. I, as the owner, do not recommend our apartment for families with children in general due exactly to the things Sarah mentioned. The street noise on the living room balcony side of the apartment is mitigated to a large degree when the large french doors are closed, and does not travel to the bedrooms. Do look at Sarah's blog to see more comments about the property. Also some comments from a guest who just stayed for the month before they arrived might be fun:" We used the property manager's recommended airport transfer, and even though our flight had been delayed by 6 hours, this did not create a problem. The driver was excellent and the car was clean and looked virtually new. We used the same service going back to the airport and it was equally good. The best part though, was this particular apartment. It looked fantastic in the images on the web site and in reality it was actually more impressive than we could have hoped for. We stayed for 31 days so we had plenty of time to get a feel for it, and we totally fell in love with it. I am an Architect and generally am disappointed by most rental accommodation. Not this time. This apartment takes up one half of the top floor of the building, and because there is a huge light-well in the centre of the building there are virtually no adjoining walls with neighbours. As a result the apartment was amazingly quiet and private given its location in busy, noisy Buenos Aires. The design and fit-out of the apartment is enormously stylish, well thought out, with expensive quality fittings used throughout. Many of the design details, for instance the hand rails on the stairs and loft, are just exquisite. The location of the apartment is great. There are restaurants & cafes everywhere, including Pacheco Restaurant on the ground floor of the building itself. Likewise small supermarkets are on most streets. We loved this apartment and were very sad to leave. We still miss being there and hope to visit again. I highly recommend the apartment and the property manager and thank them for providing such wonderfully comfortable accommodation."
