This apartment may be the most stunningly opulent and beautiful place I've ever stayed. Our stay was broken into two sections so we could visit Mar del Plata for a few nights, and as we headed back to Buenos Aires we joked that we couldn't wait to get back to "our palace."
The candelabras, eclectic art, gorgeous inlay furniture, and dreamy balcony windows made me feel like the main character in some sort of South American Moulin Rouge fantasy. I'm a sucker for tile work and the lush patio with its decorative plates and greenery is a showstopper. We had many a coffee out there in the mornings and many a Fernet con Coca there in the evenings.
On the less glamorous but no less important side of things: Amenities! The kitchen is well-equipped and we were thrilled to have both a dishwasher and a washing machine so we could do laundry during our stay. The wifi was reliable, and the water pressure in the shower was great.
The place couldn't be more central and conveniently located. It's just around the corner from El Obelisco and Teatro Colón, with a Carrefour and a Dia grocery store both within a couple minutes' walk, plus some lovely parks, plenty of shopping, and places to eat. Much of the city is reachable by foot if you're game for putting in some steps: Puerto Madero, Recoleta, and San Telmo are all pretty close, and we took the Subte or taxis for more far-flung (or late-night) adventures.
Rodney was an excellent host: super responsive to our questions, and gave us some great recommendations for restaurants and live music. I would absolutely love to come back one day, perhaps at a different time of year. It was pretty hot out while we were there so we never got around to using the huge Jacuzzi tub, and that's going to haunt me.
