We decided to stay at this apartment because of its location and all of the wonderful reviews. Our stay at Casabierta exceeded our expectations in every way. This apartment is spectacularly placed in the heart of Palermo, one of buenos Aires's trendiest neighborhoods. In fact, we were hard pressed to leave because within walking distance we had access to some of the best shops, bars, parks and restaurants in the city (try Las Pizarras Bistro on Thames for an amazing meal). The neighborhood is lively (consider bringing ear plugs if you're a light sleeper), but it feels very safe at all times of the day and night. The apartment is a lovely space to spend time in when you're there. We especially loved the rooftop, where we are breakfast every day and cooked a traditional assado. We were a group of six, and with four bedrooms and four bathrooms we really felt like we could spread out, which reduced friction in the group.

Far and away, the most memorable part of the trip for me and my family was the wonderful host that is Augusto. He was very flexible with our arrival time, greeting us on the street when we arrived. He was also very responsive to our questions, even texting us back promptly on Christmas Day. It is an absolute must to take him up on the gourmet meal that his wife Carina offers to cook for their guests. The meal was by far the best of our entire trip. Agusto and Carina created a comfortable atmosphere, one that is normally only enjoyed at home, with the added benefit of world class food.

Again, we cannot express how helpful and kind Agusto was, calling our taxis for a 5AM departure, and even following up with recommendations for our next city.

If you are looking for an apartment in Buenos Aires, look no farther than Casabierta in Buenos Aires. We definitely hope to return.
