We highly recommend this property! The host,Barry, was extremely responsive, accommodating and helpful. We were able to get both early check in and late check out. Barry also recommended Juan to us for airport transport. Juan was incredible! He gave us wonderful ideas for things to do during our stay in Buenos Aires, and through him we booked a special wine country outing that included a multi course lunch and even our own wine blending course (and we got take a bottle of our blend with us). Rodrigo, our main contact at the property was absolutely wonderful. He met us at the apartment and welcomed us with a bottle of wine and a box of alfajores. During our stay, Rodrigo responded to any questions we had immediately and was very helpful. The apartment itself was great for us (my husband and me and our best friend). Having two en suite bedrooms was ideal. We also cooked a lot and found the kitchen fine for that. The apartment is close to several grocery stores and a butcher shop so that was convenient for us.The Recoleta neighborhood is nice. We like to walk so we often set out on foot for our sightseeing. Otherwise we took Ubers which were drastically cheaper than in the US. We loved our time in Buenos Aires! We truly can’t thank Barry, Rodrigo and Juan enough for facilitating our stay such that all was very smooth-from my initial inquiry about the apartment to being dropped off at the airport at the end of our stay. Gracias!

Perfect apartment and location in BsAs

This apartment was perfect for my husband and daughter. The two rooms had their own bathrooms and an extra half bath when needed. The living room was large with a dining room table and a large sofa that allowed the three of us to relax together or watch tv. There was also a lovely balcony where we often had breakfast or just relaxed.The location couldn’t be any better. Lots of places to eat, lots of shopping, easy access to everything and safe.

No frills apartment in Ricoleta

This apartment is located in the Ricoleta neighborhood just off Avenida Santa Fe. There are abundant shops and restaurants nearby and there’s easy access to the subway and busses. While the apartment was clean, it looks tired. It needs fresh paint, less harsh lighting and it is very minimally furnished. The pillows and linens were in need of replacement. Communication with the host was good.

Great family stay

We enjoyed our stay here for several reasons: the apartment has 2 bedrooms, each with ensuite baths which is nice when traveling with adult family members. The beds are very comfortable. The kitchen is fully stocked and the living area is quite comfortable. The washer/dryer was also a nice feature you don’t find in a lot of places. The building is small and very quiet. Check in was very smooth and the apartment manager was quite responsive. The location is great-a grocery store is right next door, a great restaurant for breakfast is just across the street and an excellent gym is less than a block away. You can walk just about anywhere in Recoleta from there. We felt like natives rather than tourists. I would definitely choose this apartment on a return visit to Buenos Aires.

Perfect location!

The property was perfect! Two bedrooms, 2.5 baths, lots of light, space and comfort. And location was ideal! Walk out door and market 20 steps down the street, restaurants at each corner, and only one block away from main thoroughfare. Only drawback was air conditioner in living room didn't seem to keep room cool, and air conditioner in master bedroom got very loud. We would turn off and use fan. Otherwise, it is a wonderful apartment, centrally located. And CoCo was super. Met us at check in and check out and had all kinds of wonderful recommendations for us. Thank you!!!

Would give 6 stars if I could!

This apartment was absolutely perfect for me and my family in the Recoleta neighborhood of Buenos Aires. The location was fantastic, situated in the middle of the historic district and just a short walk, subway ride, or cab ride from all of the attractions that the city has to offer. The apartment itself is spacious, with 2 full bedrooms each with its own bathroom, plus another half bath. The kitchen is well-stocked and it was all very comfortable for 4 of us. Barry and his staff were exceptional in supporting us. Our trip was delayed repeatedly, and they were extremely accommodating, including showing up late in the evening to let us in when our flights were extremely late. I couldn't recommend this apartment any more highly. You will not be disappointed.

Generally happy, but…

We enjoyed our 2-week stay. Manager Rodrigo was friendly and very accommodating about early check-in and late check-out. Neighborhood was great. About the apartment:The pros- spacious - comfortable bed- good air conditioning- good water pressure - good internet- good washer/dryerThe cons- old building with unwelcoming lobby and small, noisy elevator. Hardly “luxurious.”- could have been better appointed - some maintenance required- a “how’s it going” from the owner/manager at some point during the stay would have been appreciatedBottom line, the apartment suited our purposes well, and the pros definitely outweighed the cons. It was a good deal for the price. We would recommend it, as long as you understand what to expect.

Excellent accommodations.

My friends and I spent three weeks here, getting to know Buenos Aires at our leisure. I can only praise our treatment, starting with the prompt responses from the manager to our questions, to the kindnesses of the staff who went out of their way to ensure we had some Argentine pesos available at our Sunday check-in, to driving us to/from the airport. The location of the apartment is in heart of the elegant (and very safe) Recoleta area, with dozens of restaurants, bars, cafes, bakeries, and stores within a two-block radius. My personal favorites are Covadonga across the street, Quotidiano Bar de Pastas a block away, and coffee and pastry in the garden restaurant of Como en Casa next to the apartment. Before you arrive, study up on the history of Buenos Aires and you will be rewarded by the friendly and courteous portenos who are justifiably proud of their city and happy to explain it to foreign tourists. I suggest you learn how to use the bus system, or simply hail one of the cheap and plentiful taxis in the area. You will be glad to endure the long trip to Buenos Aires to experience the fine food, culture, and friendly people.
