This house is in an amazing location right above Plazoleta Julio Cortázar, a hub of restaurants, cafes and boutiques in the heart of Palermo Soho (best neighborhood in Buenos Aires!), yet it is surprisingly quiet from the disco noise and activity nearby- because the house is at the back of the building. The space and high ceilings are dramatic and it is a very special architectural house. We made this home for 5 months and loved it! It is a unique home, very comfortable and spacious, with plenty of sunlight. You really cannot beat the location, and there are not a lot of properties like this one! Some of the BEST restaurants are within walking distance: La Cabrera, Don Julio, Crizia, Choripan, Helados de Italia, something for everyone.
The reason this is not a 5 star rating is because the house is a bit worn and needs repairs. While the space is phenomenal it is not a "luxe" experience to arrive here. There is no guide or local information as is common in Airbnb's, nor instructions for the particularities of the house. We faced issues with humidity-- granted it is very common in Buenos Aires--, with the hot water heater, we had to purchase doormats, kitchen cloths, all cleaning and personal care supplies, and some kitchen equipment- perhaps not an issue for a short-term tourist stay. Taking care of the issues that came up ate up some of our time, though Gabriel and staff are very responsive, the list of things that needed attention was long.
