Location: Buenos Aires, Argentina, South America (In the Most Desirable Location, Recoleta, Buenos Aires.)

Accommodations:  Condominium, 1 Bedroom + Other (See Description), 1 Bath (Sleeps 2-4)

This fully furnished one-bedroom, one-bath, corner apartment was purchased from a former Argentine ambassador. It has been completely remodeled with an emphasis on style and comfort. Unique in that every room has a fabulous view.

One of the outstanding features of this spacious Buenos Aires pied-a-terre is the spectacular view of the world famous Recoleta cemetery - the final resting place of Evita Peron. A walk through these opulent, above ground monuments is a tour of the rich and famous of Argentine history. Your apartment's ninth-floor view extends beyond Recoleta to the River Plate and the distant Uruguay.

Located in the cultural center of Buenos Aires, you are surrounded by sidewalk cafes, top quality restaurants, clubs, bookstores, boutiques, parks and theatres - one block from Recoleta Village Entertainment Center, two blocks from the Buenos Aires Design Center, near the National Museum of Fine Arts. A walk across the park, which hosts the city's foremost weekly art fair, will land you on Avenida Alvear - the most celebrated, upscale, shopping area in Buenos Aires. While in the heart of this bustling cultural center, the 9th floor location affords a peaceful night's sleep.

  • We stayed here for three weeks in March 2009. The apartment is fabulous and the view incredible. The best part of the apartment is Valerie and Jim - they were the most accommodating owners we have ever rented from on VRBO and this is our 10th experience. The manager in Buenos Aires is also excellent - he never steered us wrong in looking for restaurants! The neighborhood is wonderful - we rate our Buenos Aires stay as one of the best of our travels.

  • We stayed at the apartment for 6 weeks. It is just like the photos; cheerful with lots of light and great views in every room. The location is excellent; you can walk anywhere or take any bus at the corner stops. The building is safe, the apt. is inmaculately clean. You can't ask for better owners than Valerie & Jim or better management than Frank & Osvaldo. They were all within one phone call away. We will recommend this place to all our friends. In short, we can't wait to go back. Thanks guys

  • Comment 1: Property Description: 1 bedroom with incredible view of Recoleta neighborhood Comment Date: 11/03/2007 Comment Text: This is the perfect place and location, and without hesitation, we would stay in Valerie and Jim's apartment again. The apartment is all that the photographs and descriptions depict in terms of facilities, views, comfort and equipment. Guide and resource books were stocked, and coupled with Valerie's personal Buenos Aires suggestions, they were a great asset. While we had no need for the kitchen, everything in it was carefully chosen with a mind toward accommodating those who enjoy cooking. It is all brand new or maintained that way. Bedding and towels were downy and thick, respectfully. Frette bathrobes, and bath/shower amenities are indicative of the care they take in making one's stay enjoyable. We had two problems (broken toilet flush and a loose latch that prevented a bedroom window from remaining closed), and they were quickly resolved as Max is a caring and attentive apartment manager. We are looking forward to meeting Valerie and Jim in person during our travels to Miami.

  • Hola Valerie, We just want to thank you for being you throughout our trip planning and for your lovely invitation to meet your family. Dina and Kerry were very warm and gave us lots of tips for the San Telmo fair. Another highlight was visiting Frank and Osvaldo. It's always fun to see homes, but both this was pretty over-the-top. Frank even baked us a cake. The apartment was great, and only after living for a day and a half in Palermo did we realize how nice Recoleta was. We loved Purmamarca, and if you haven't been there, put it on your must-see list. Our best to you and Jim, Kathy and Bob

  • We recently spent two weeks at this cozy apartment and enjoyed every minute of it. The unit was exceptionally clean and pleasant. Each of the beds were very comfortable and the linens were of high quality. The view from every window is incredible, even the bathroom window. We enjoyed sitting out on the balcony and have our morning coffee and afternoon Malbec. We could not have asked for a better or more convenient location than this. It is within walking distance to numerous restaurants and other interesting places to explore. There is a small market right next door wich came in handy. Just step outside the building entrance and you can get a radio taxi almost instantly day or night. Frank and Osvaldo went out of their way to make sure we had a pleasant stay and were a big help in directing us to some great reastaurants as well as other places to visit. It was reassuring to have Frank there since he speaks English especially since we were in a foreign country and did't speak their language. We could not have asked for a nicer person to deal with than Valerie. She was on top of everything and kept in contact and made sure everything was in order. We hope to return for a month on our next trip to Buenos Aires and we will definitely stay here. That is how impressed we were. Thanks again Valerie, Jim, Frank and Osvaldo for a beautiful two weeks in Recoleta. Bill and Wayne

  • My friend John and I stayed at the apartment for 12 days in July and we absolutely could not have had a better experience. Not only were Valerie and Jim extremely helpful and attentive, but their associate in town, Frank, was also a great resource. Who needs guide books when you have savvy locals like Frank hand-writing up all the best places to eat, drink and be merry! We never had a bad meal working off of Frank, Valerie and Jim's various recommendations. The apartment itself is a very nice place, modern and stylish furnishings, newer appliances, nicely remodeled bathroom, and spotlessly clean in general. I was a bit nervous about the Murphy bed but it was every bit as comfy as a standard bed. And then there is the view and the neighborhood - unbeatable. The view of the famous Recoleta cemetery is awesome, and on a clear day you can see all the way out to the river and the waterfront area. The location is right around the corner from tons of bars and restaurants (though some are over-priced and touristy so always consult the Frank list!), as well as conveniences like frequent taxis, a little grocery store, and even a movie theater should you need a break from the hectic BA party life. We also walked a few blocks to the subway stop and used it to get around quite a bit, which made things very economical. I really cannot recommend this apartment strongly enough. The combination of the great apartment, fantastic location and personal, attentive service made the amazing experience of Buenos Aires somehow even better. Now I just have to figure out how to move to Argentina! --Wil

  • We just returned from an 8-night stay at Valerie & Jim's apartment and we can't say enough good things about our experience. Everything about the place was perfect...from the decoration and amenities, to the view of the cemetery from the balcony, to the prime location in BA's beautiful Recoleta neighborhood. We even had the added benefit of having Val & Jim next door to us (in their own apartment) at the same time we were there. They were amazingly friendly hosts and a wealth of knowledge about where to go and what to see. If you are planning a trip to BA this is a great place to stay. The location is very central, so you have everything that the city has to offer within either walking distance or a short cab ride. To top it off, Val & Jim are great to work with! We will definitely be coming back to BA sometime soon! -Ryan & Steve

  • My friend Carol and I stayed at the apartment from April 19 -25th. It was excellent! I slept in the queen sized murphy bed that comes out of a very pretty wall unit and it was so comfortable! I loved sitting each morning on the balcony, sipping on coffee and looking at the Recoleta Cemetary,which is world renowned. The location was awesome. Right out the door and you are next to a small supermarket and around the corner from several cafes, telephone services, a park that has a craft market on Saturdays and Sundays, etc. Valerie was extremely accommodating and gave us many helpful hints. Our Buenos Aires experience was great and I would definitely recommend the apartment. I'm looking forward to returning myself some day!!!
