We bought the apartment in 2004. We were charmed by the small authentic old building, typical of Buenos Aires, and the ancient architecture of the house. We decided to restore it with the help of our brother-in-law, Federico, who is an architect, specialized in the old historic buildings.
But the main reason of our decision, is the neighborhood. In that time, Parlemo Viejo was already a touristic place, but Villa Crespo was still authentic and quite. Sharing a border with Palermo means Villa Crespo is well located, but not being Palermo means that it’s not overwhelmed with foreigners. Its cobbled streets are pretty and there are hip places to eat and drink.
