The apartment totally lives up to expectations: It's gorgeous, lots of natural light, and an oasis in a busy city. We've traveled quite a bit, and it was one of our favorites so far.

At least two terrific restaurants are within a seven-minute walk: Uco (with Chef Ed), and Olsen's. For brunch with a more local flavor, we thoroughly recommend Oui Oui, which is also just down the street.

We love to walk, so it was great to be 10-15 minutes away from Palermo Viajo. It's a good bit further to get to the Recoleta, but there's a subway stop within 10 minutes of the apartment, too.

And Eugenia and Mariano were awesome — they met us at the apartment (about an hour, per our schedule) and responded to our questions by email throughout.

Five stars - cinco estrallas.
