Fabulous place to stay while in Buenos Aires!

We were thrilled with our accommodation at the Poetry building and the service we received was top notch. We wanted a private apartment that was secure, clean, well situated to downtown, restaurants, cafes and attractions AND also offered a flavour of the vibrant BA culture. After our exciting kayak adventure down in Penninsula Valdez, we wanted some comfort and culture, something that is difficult to find when staying in a typically bland hotel room. Right from the first inquiry via email, to our day of departure, everything went perfectly. We ended up with a lovely room that offered outside Terrazzas from which we could enjoy the evening sounds of the city while sipping delicious Argentinian Malbec, but frankly, I am sure all of the apartments are equally nice. The location is in the heart of Recoleta, with easy walking access to the cemetery, the Subte (subway) and all downtown monuments and attractions. The front desk staff helped with airport transportation, bookings at restaurants and tango shows. Fabulous! The entire experience could not have been better. We will definitely be back - and SOON! We have booked other properties in other countries on VRBO and we have not been disappointed!

The location was great, a clean safe neighborhood in the middle of everything! We were 1-2 blocks from a grocery store, laundry, bakery, and ATM’s. Within 5 blocks there had to be 30 restaurants to choose from. With a $5-6 ($US) taxi ride you could be in Palermo Soho, San Telmo, Puerto Madero or Plaza de Mayo. The apartment was clean, modern and tastefully decorated and furnished. The free Wifi and cell phone was super nice. Best of all was the great hospitality of the bilingual staff. They were very helpful with reservations and tips about BA; they made you feel at home. Fabulous!!

My wife and kids were a little skittish about going to Argentina in the first place but staying in Brent's building made us feel perfectly at home. The place was better than the pictures show and the building was immaculate. Brent was great with all his tips and experience with the city and culture. I would recommend this place to anyone who wants to really experience all that Buenos Aires has to offer.

My wife and I recently traveled to BA and booked our stay using VRBO. The flat was stunning with amazing attention to detail, as if no expense was spared. Service and amenities were comparable to any luxury hotel. The flat included all the amenities you need, (wifi, local cell phone, cable, flat screen, AC, fully equipped kitchen, etc.) and was beautifully furnished. The building was quiet, clean, safe, with a great roof deck pool. Management was responsive and timely. The neighborhood was safe and charming with several restaurants, bakeries, coffee shops, etc., all within walking distance. A true neighborhood feel. I highly recommend this property.

We thoroughly enjoyed our trip to BA. We especially enjoyed our stay at Brent's apartment. Brent and Jannina were wonderful. Their attention to details was really appreciated, especially the fresh flowers on our arrival. The apartment is new and tastefully furnished, the layout worked very well and the building's architecture, blended history with modern stainless and glass. The Results.... Spectacular! One of our best trips.

We stayed in this unit during 2009 Xmas break. The apt is well furnished & tastefully done. The bedding, linen & sofa bed were of high quality & comfortable. It was perfect for our family of 4. Location is excellent & within walking distance to major attractions, restaurants & stores. This recently restored, charming building offered a quiet oasis after busy days of sightseeing. Brent & his team were professional & very service oriented. The provided pre-paid cell phone was useful to stay in touch with friends traveling with us. We highly recommend this apt & will use again when we return to Bs As.
