My husband retired and we decided to come and live/experience Argentina for a few months. We stayed in Gabriel's apartment for 3 months. (We would have stayed longer, but someone had rented the month of February, before I made my booking).

Gabriel was the perfect host. He was waiting for us on our arrival and had gone to the trouble of purchasing some coffee and pastries. He was always available and very quick to respond if we had any issues, which there were only a couple. The building & security staff were always friendly and nice and helped us whenever needed.

The apartment was perfect in every way. The location, the size & the amenities. Being here through the height of summer we were thankful for having the swimming pool on the roof. Palermo Hollywood has everything you could want or need. Restaurants, bars, shopping, it's all there. The subway line is only a few short blocks away to get you downtown and to surrounding areas.

As we were here longer term, I cooked quite a bit as well as eating out. There are 2 large supermarkets in walking distance with an abundance of produce and luckily, other unusual items.Think Tabasco & Worcestshire sauce (Argentina doesn't do spicy).

Jumbo Supermarket on Santa Fe to the left of Fitzroy and then the Super Jumbo Shopping Center on Avenue Bullrich, one block from Santa Fe.

We have fallen in love with Buenos Aires and see ourselves returning on a regular basis and we would have no hesitation in renting Gabriel's apartment again. We were very sad to leave, but we luckily found another place just around the corner at Hollywood Suites & Loft II.

The only things worth mentioning are that the gym is old and dated, so it wasn't much fun working out. The apartment is also on the end of the building closest to the train line. We come from Manhattan, so we were used to noise. This could be a big problem for anyone not used to street and city noises.

I highly recommend Gabriel's apartment in Palermo Hollywood, Buenos Aires.
