Stayed at this wonderfu 2 bedroom/ 2 bathroom place while vacationing in Buenos Aires. This apartment is well located in the Recoleta on the 17th floor of a modern building. Someone from the management company walked me through the apartment and showed me how to use the appliances, telephone, etc. Very informative. Kitchen is well stocked with plates, glassware etc. and bathroom had extra towels for everyone. The beds were very comfy and each room had cable tv. Nice to have after a long day of sightseeing. Since the apartment is half a block from Avenue Santa Fe, one of Buenos Aires longest and busiest streets, there is a large selection of restaurants, stores and malls to choose from. It's easy to become overwhelmed so a great benefit to staying at this place is the use of the doorman. Whenever my friends or I had a question regarding transportation, activities or restaurants we didn't hesitate to ask the friendly doorman on duty. Almost as though we had a concierge on duty! The subway line is 5 minutes away and allowed us to be anywhere in Buenos Aires in less than 30 minutes. Also an abundance of taxi cabs just outside of the apartment so transportation was never a problem. If you're hoping to find a well located, delightful place to stay while in Buenos Aires, this is the place to try! I would certainly

Wonderful Apartment!!

Our relationship with the owner, Michael was first rate from my initial inquiring email to the second airport transfer (more on that later). I travelled to Buenos aires with my husband, 18 yo daughter and 16 yo son in June 2011 What luck did we have after deciding on an apartment owned by Michael. Not only did he answer emails immediately, even mundane ones such as where is the closest subway stop, when we booked with him, we got an entire property management team, as well. Agustina, the Concierge, arranged transfers from the airport to the apartment and back. This was so convenient because the driver was able to contact Maria to let her know that we were on our way and she was there waiting to check us in when we arrived at 8:30am. Agustina also helped us get River Plate soccer tickets and suggested day trips Back to the second airport transfer...we arrived at the Buenos aires airport to travel back home only to find it closed due to Chilean Volcanic ash. At 5:50pm on a Friday, I called Michael's office in a panic not knowing what to do. Maria Rosa calmly told me that our apartment was still available and gave me directions to their office to pick up the key. Arriving after 7:00pm, Maria Rosa was still there waiting for us to pick up the key! Now the apartment. The location was amazing. On a quiet street right at the corner of a main street. Just to the left was the subway stop and just to the right was the grocery store. The building had a 24 hour doorman. Located on the 17th floor, the views were breathtaking. The rooms were tastefully decorated. The apartment had every amenity you could image needing. Wifi!!! Very comfortable beds. Three LCD televisions. I loved that the towels were huge bath sheet sized and plentiful. All of the kitchen appliances were full sized. The rooms were really nicely sized; we never were on top of each other. I would definitely recommend renting an apartment with Michael.

Owner response:Hi Michelle, Thanks so much for taking the time to post a review. I'm so glad that you had a great trip and enjoyed our wonderful apartment. My staff all mentioned how courteous your family was and I'm glad you finally got out with the Volcanic Ash issue. I look forward to assisting you again in the future. Mike

Small but decent apartment

This is a decent apartment in a decent inner city neighborhood, but it is not ultra luxury and it is not in Recelota. And it cannot comfortably accommodate 4 adults - the sofa in the living room only seats two. There is a desk in name but not in function - the two phones (a very nice feature), the modem box and a light occupy almost the entire space. The bathrooms are minute and the rain showers sound great except the water was rarely hot and there was no pressure. The beds were very comfortable, but the bedrooms are so small that there's just enough room to walk around them and that's it. On the other hand, all the staff I dealt with at ApartmentsBA were great, and their professional ethics were confirmed yet again when my security deposit was waiting for me in my Paypal account when I arrived back in New York. Net, net a decent apartment that is a bit oversold.

We (family of 4, with two young children) spent a total of 10 days at this apartment and loved it. The apartment is well situated, in a great neighborhood, close to the subway and very close to all the necessities, such as grocery store, etc. All the taxi drivers knew the location as well. The apartment itself is compact and well designed. Having two bathrooms was a luxury, linens were deluxe, and everything was updated. High enough up to get great sunlight and be a further from the noise of the streets. The customer service was amazing. The staff met us on arrival and departure and were flexible to our needs. They were fluent in english and quickly responded to emails. They arranged airport transportation for us and had a concierge service that was excellent. I would recommmend this apt to anyone staying in Buenos Aires. One point, it is listed in Recoleta, though the area is known locally as Barrio Norte, which is the border of Recoleta and Palermo. Check a map to make sure it is where you want to be.

This is a great alterative to a hotel room or two hotel rooms (if you are traveling with your children like we were). We found this property from VRBO and loved it. We never rented an apartment before but it was such a great experience we did it again when we went to Paris over the holidays. Its great! Communication was excellent always getting a response quickly from ApartmentsBA.com It was perfect for us. We had our 13 year old daughter with us and the apartment was perfect as she had her own bathroom and bedroom. Her bedroom and ours both had a TV in it. View was wonderful! We paid a deposit to book it with bankwire and paid the balance at the check-in with the security deposit. Our security deposit was returned by the nice employee at the check out. Great experience.

My husband and I stayed in this property last year while we visited Argentina. Argentina is an amazing country and the people were so kind to us. Neither of us speak Spanish but we didnt have problems getting around. My experience with Apartmentsba was terrific. From our initial email to reserve to the check out. Everything went smoothly and the apartment was as advertised. Everything was spelled out clearly in their emails. We paid our down payment with our paypal account and they sent us a confirmation very quickly. Pablo did our check in and he was great and explained how to use everything. There was also a guide book in the apartment that explained everything which was very helpful. Everything was very comfortable and we enjoyed the extra space instead of a hotel room. We loved the area! We loved walking around and discovering different cafes and restaurants in the area. Our favorite was Oviedo which was only 2 blocks away. The staff there was great and the food was so yummy! At the checkout Pablo was on time and we did a quick inventory check and he promised that our security deposit that we paid with paypal would be refunded and sure enough when we arrived back home the next day it was already refunded. We would recommend Apartmentsba to anyone coming to Buenos Aires. The staff was so friendly and staying in an apartment was such a great idea. We liked the city so much we are planning to go back later this year and we are returning to this property.

The condo we rented was wonderful. It had all the modern things that made our stay relaxing. The location was great, within walking distance of shopping and eateries. Both bedrooms and bathrooms were great with flat screen TV's. Highly recommend this condo! Couldn't find one thing about it that we didn't like.

After staying in other properties with a different style we chose this one as a change . The apartment decoration and setup has been done with an exquisite taste . Marble baths, a living dining area that is perfect for entretaining a small group of people and all the comforts that we have back home and not easily found in all properties . Washer and dryer is value added confort for the tourist. We had several friends and everyone had great compliments for the nightime View of the city . You can see the River from Far away and tha lights create an ambiance that made us enjoy sitting and spending time in the living room. In summary " We would go back anytime to that property " it is an A-1.

Perfect vacation staying in this rental apartment last month. The staff was friendly and good with emails. Payment was easy with bankwire. The apartment was very modern and bathrooms were upscale. A very cozy apartment. It was especially nice having a washer and dryer in the apartment. The kitchen was a little on the small side but we never cooked so was perfect for us. View was incredible. The apartment was very quiet. Doorman was always friendly. We would stay here again.

My friend Hans and I were traveling throughout South America. Buenos Aires was our last stop before coming home. We originally booked another property but the building had a problem with the electricity and they couldn't fix it quickly. We were really disappointed but then surprised how apartmentsba helped us. They immediately moved us out of the apartment we had rented and moved us into this beautiful apartment even considering it was much much more expensive than the one we paid for. We were so impressed how the company handled the situation. Very professional. Since we were on a long trip we had to budget and mostly stayed in less expensive accomodations throughout our trip. This apartment was wonderful! It was nicer than my apartment back home! The apartment was great; everything worked and the employees at apartmentsba were helpful.
