  • This was our first trip to BA, and staying at Valentino's made the the experience perfect. Centrally located for anything we wished to do/see, there was nothing we lacked. Meticulously furnished, our comfort was perfectly seen to. The terraces and the hot tub on the roof were just icing on the cake. We totally recommend this flat to anyone and everyone! -- Grace and Al

  • As if our opinion wasn't enough... every local was very impressed when we told them the area we were staying in. :) This is truly an AMAZING apartment! It's gorgeous! I think we took a photo from the bedroom every night of the sun setting- beautiful pink skies! The terrace is amazing too! I am a 'eat outdoor' girl and love being able to prepare dinner and sit outside and enjoy the muffled sounds of the city. Though you are in the middle of everything great, it is calm and peaceful as well. So wonderful!! The bed, super comfy! The shower so relaxing... and with a view! Two bathrooms!! A short walk to EVERYTHING! Internet access, cell phone, home phone, GUILLE!! The list goes on... Thank you Thom for making your fabulous apartment available to us!! To potential guests... do not hesitate! This place is fantastic!!

  • Our month in Buenos Aires was fun and very interesting. Having a comfortable base from which to explore was a critical piece of that enjoyment. The apartment is very well-equipped and maintained. Guille and Thom immediately addressed any question or minor problem. The terrace adds an additional room to the apartment in good weather, and there is always great light, a sense of being in a tree house. The plants added to the aerie feeling. The neighborhood has excellent restaurants—a month isn’t nearly enough time to try them all. Although we were not in BA for shopping, we found the quality leather goods an excellent bargain. We would be happy to recommend the apartment to traveling friends.

  • We are in complete agreement with all the postive comments that have been entered in this guest book for the Valentino's Soho Penthouse. Thom, the owner has thought of all the conveniences required for a pleasurable stay in this great area of Buenos Aires. Guille,manager,was extremely pleasant and very helpful. We especially enjoyed the wonderful light level offered on both decks and that the tree tops offered a wonderful green backdrop. We would highly recommend this suite. We spent considerable time when doing our research for a place to stay and by far this was the best unit we found and it was as good in real life as the photos. Enjoy....

  • The building is perfectly located in the heart of Palermo Soho, which is the trendiest and safest area of BA. The flat itself is very tastefully decorated, and offers all the confort anyone could possibly think of. What's most impressive about this flat is its exceptional terrace, which is spacious and offers a really inspiring view. Petit plus: a jaccuzzi on the roof... enjoy!

  • We have just returned from a four-week stay at Valentino's Penthouse in Palermo Soho (VRBO#98536) and enjoyed our time so much that we're planning to return next year. The accommodation was very comfortable and well-equipped; we made use of the balcony for our breakfasts and the wonderful patio for late afternoons and evenings outside. We left for a three-day stay at an estancia; when we returned we felt that it was great to be back home! The neighborhood was so pleasant with tree-lined streets and so many restaurants to choose from within easy walking distance. Grocery stores large and small were close by and the metro stop was about a ten-minute walk. We enjoyed the weekend markets at nearby Plaza Palermo Viejo and Plaza Cortezar. We visited lots of BA neighborhoods but were happy that we'd chosen this location. The apartment manager, Guille, was very accessible and handled any problem we had quickly and efficiently. We felt very lucky to have her so readily available. Miriam kept the apartment in great shape cleaning it weekly; we only wish we'd been able to communicate more with her! This was our first time renting an apartment and our experience with VRBO and with Thom Downey in particular was all that we could have hoped for. Everything went smoothly from start to finish and we look forward to returning.

  • I absolutely loved my experience at the soho penthouse! The apartment is a perfect size, has amazing light, a fantastic terrace...I can go on. Thom and Guille were great and I felt right at home as soon as I walked in the door. I can't wait for my next trip back to BA and I will most definitely be staying at Thom's apartment again!

  • Fantastic!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!! Well I have been here for almost a month now and I don't want to leave. This place is great, both Buenos Aires and and the apt. I do not think you could do better, I had a couple of friends come down for my 50th birthday. They each rented their own apts, my apt was the best by far and one friend payed a lot more. So stop your search if this place is available book it, you won't be disapointed. Thom and his fantastic manager Guille are the best and even the cleaning lady they use was great. I have not one complaint, well one, I do not want to go home. I am calling the airline to see if I can change my ticket to stay another week, just by chance the apt is available. I loved the area so much I am meeting with a real estate agent to look at buying in the same neighborhood. But it will be hard to find a unit as nice as this. Thanks again, a future tenant for sure!

  • I rented this apartment for a month and I am extremely happy with it for several reasons. First, after having visited all the neighborhoods, I find Palermo Viejo to be far and away the best. If you like great restaurants, cafes, bars, people watching, walking, and outdoor green spaces, this is the place. The apartment is located within walking distance of all these as well as several grocery stores and a subway stop. The place itself is quality with nice furniture and two decks with gorgeous views. It is very special to sit out on the deck on a spring morning or during sunset with a glass of Argentinian wine. Thom (owner) and Guille (manager) are outstanding. The whole experience rates a perfect 10.
    
    Homeowner Response:
    Ed wrote upon his return... Thom, Guille, I'm back in California now and just wanted to say thanks for everything. My month in Buenos Aires was a memorable experience. I already miss it. Anything can happen when you travel around the world, but you guys made my stay in BA a first-class experience. Thanks so much. Buen suerte! ejp

  • We had a wonderful stay at Valentino's Soho Penthouse! The apartment was perfect. The location was very central and in a very safe neighborhood. Thom and Guille were a dream to deal with. Let Guille arrange a car for you from / to the airport Aldo and Luciano are great. It was so nice to arrive after an overnight flight and be welcomed by Aldo. A couple of fun places near the apartment: La Cabrera Cabrera 5099 y Thames (Awesome Parilla with great food and friendly service) Casa Cruz Uriarte 1658 (Ask Inez to make you your favorite cocktail, she is a master! Beautiful Restaurant as well) Bar Uriarte Uriarte 1572 (Great place for Drinks, Lunch or Dinner) Don't hesitate to book this apartment it is better then advertised! We will be back soon.
