We stayed in Lara and Brenda’s apartment for 5 days and we could not have picked a better place to call home during our visit to Buenos Aires. It was a real pleasure to stay there. The apartment is even nicer than the photos and description. They have put a lot of thought into every part of the apartment, to make you feel welcome and at-home. The apartment itself is bright and airy, and quite large, with floor to ceiling windows, high ceilings, and two full sized bathrooms, one upstairs and one downstairs. The kitchen has everything one could need on a visit to a big city. We thoroughly enjoyed sitting on the balcony in the morning and evening with coffee or a drink, watching the city wake up and wind down. The large living room and dining area are very well-furnished in a modern style with several comfortable chairs and a lovely dining table. While we were visiting, the weather was relatively hot, so it was really nice to have brand new central air conditioning throughout the apartment. The upstairs loft area is very spacious with a super-comfortable queen-sized bed, a killer view, and a HUGE walk-in closet area next to the full-sized bathroom. The apartment is on the 6th floor of a new building with an excellent, fast elevator available to make coming and going easy. The main door to the building is secure and there is a modern lobby where we exchanged greeting with other residents of the building, who seemed very friendly and attentive. There is also small swimming pool and barbequing area available for use on the ground floor in the patio area behind the building. If this is not enough, we discovered that the neighborhood surrounding the apartment, known as Palermo Hollywood, was our favorite in Buenos Aires. It has a very relaxed residential feel, but at the same time there seems to be an excellent, café, ice cream shop and a couple of lovely restaurants, all with outdoor seating, at nearly every intersection. Lara and Brenda provided us a list of their favorite places and we happily made our way to each and every one. The beautiful tree-lined streets of Buenos Aires are so inviting, we enjoyed walking everywhere, but could have used some the free bikes available at many points throughout the city and taken to the well-designated bike paths lining many of the streets in the area. Palermo Hollywood is also very close to some of the biggest city parks, which were full of walkers, joggers, and bikers. We often traveled longer distances by taxi, which was inexpensive, and also tried out the subway, which was easy to access just a few blocks from the apartment. Brenda made us feel quite comfortable when she checked us in and out in-person, providing us with the keys and showing us around. She was very thoughtful, gracious, and accommodating and made sure we had reliable transport to the airport when we left. When we...
