My husband, dad and I spent 10 days at this lovely apartment.
Top choice for:
- value
- rapid communication with James
- feeling like you're living on a movie set
- location - walking to Recoleta attractions, and easy access by taxi, bus or train to anywhere in BA
- close to great restaurants
- plenty of supermarkets, including 24h Carrefour within 10 mins
- 3.5 toilets so you'll never have to wait
- brimming with natural light
Kitchen feels like the odd one out in the house but functional enough if you want to cook or prepare food. I get the sense it was for the servants only at the turn of the century!
We had weeks of washing to do, but it was easier to sort it 5 mins down the road at a laundromat. There's a non-functional washing machine in the apartment, and also one on the building's top floor, which only the Super has the keys for. We arrived on a public holiday and weekend, plus a strike so it got a little tricky.
A bonus is Simona, the wonderfully warm, slightly wobbly and deaf Argentinean woman who helps with the property. She only speaks Spanish but is very helpful and generous with her time (we ran over an hour late with the bus and she stayed despite it taking her over an hour to get home). She was always up for a chat and a warm hug.
James also let us stay for 3 extra nights and contacted Airbnb to sort it all out seamlessly.
Enjoy your time, we did!
