Brigitte's apartment at Faena was an excellent choice. From Phillip Stark's signature furniture to the complimentary wine bottle provided by Brigitte, out stay was really an amazing experience. More importantly, by staying at Brigitte's apartment, you enjoy the best of Faena hotel without having to deal with the unfriendly/ arrogant hotel staff (the only low in our trip). Regardless, Faena is very well located, with several excellent places to eat on a walking distance (must-go: Japanese Osaka - try the tasting menu - and barbecue Cabaña las Lilas). Also, skip hotel ordinary breakfast buffet and try the excellent Lobo Café a block away at Puerto Madero, where owners Franco and Carole will make you feel at home.
Also, you can enjoy walking by Puerto Madero & Parque Ecologico, where very safe to go for a bike ride, running or just to enjoy the afternoon sunset.
