We spent 1 wonderful month at Jose’s stylish and centrally located loft in Palermo. Jose was extremely helpful and responsive to any questions we had and also coordinated with their housekeeper Gladys to assist with any needs. His mother was very kind, sweet, and helpful and check-in with her was a breeze (she was waiting for us at the loft)
What we loved about the place: so sunny with beautiful lofty ceilings and tall trees, small but nice balcony, view from the bedroom looks directly out onto the tree tops! Second, the location of the loft COULD NOT BE BETTER!! so many wonderful restaurants within walking or short driving distance (Osaka half a block down, Sunae about 10 mins walking, Proper restaurant & La Carniceria 7 mins driving, Tegui, La Mar very short walk, etc) - We fell into a very nice routine while living here thanks to the central location which actually reminded us a bit of our own home in the Lower East side.
We also loved the small plunge pool on the roof where you could cool down and enjoy the view - not a lot of buildings have this amenity! Washer and dryer in unit was very convenient (although more often than not you will have to run the dryer twice to completely dry your clothes). Gladys came by periodically to check on us and see if we needed anything and also came for our bi-weekly cleaning. Noise level was virtually non-existent.. even on weekends which we were pleasantly surprised by. Just a few days there were construction sounds nearby but it was passing.
Only things I would improve upon are the pillows (they were a bit too flat for comfort so we bought our own). Also the sink top in the bathroom is flat and therefore has the tendency to collect water & moisture and would get a mildewy smell unless you dried the water off after use.
Last but not least, a tip to future guests: when you check out don’t make the mistake we did and leave the keys inside the loft before exiting to street level! (Eg you need keys to open the gate to exit to street level, otherwise you will be locking yourself in) We of course knew this but momentarily forgot because we were a bit preoccupied getting all our bags together. Fortunately Jose and his mother were so kind and swift to help us resolve it and we were able to make it to our flight on time!
Thank you again for all your hospitality, we will really miss our time in Argentina and we hope to return to Buenos Aires again soon!!
