The apartment is quiet and very well located. Just around the corner on Calle Pena is the supermarket where you can withdraw cash from the ATM machine (we could not get cash from the ATMs of normal banks with our international debit card). Just across the street from the Supermarket is Salsamendi, the best store for fresh pasta, sauce and pizza we found in Buenos Aires, the ink spaghetti is to die for. The location in Recoleta is super convenient, close to parks, museums, big avenues, small grocery stores, tasty restaurants, national monuments, handicraft fairs and farmers’ markets every weekend, etc. Just around the other corner with Calle French, we found the Tia Restaurant, with delicious typical Argentine dishes and inexpensive quality wines. It is also close to all the Palermos, the famous Palermo Soho for shopping, the bohemian Palermo Hollywood, and the beautiful Upper Palermo, all within walking distances if you were a walker. The apartment is decorated with good taste, original paintings and old books, and the space is large and nice. It is an old, solid, classical building with nice balconies. It is well equipped with fine china, tea sets, wine cups, and kitchen utensils, bed linen and blankets, even umbrellas! Federico’s associate was nice, he welcomed us on our arrival, and even helped us get matches for the gas stove and an adaptor as Argentina has a different electricity plug than the States. It would have been a perfect stay if only the heater and air con did not have a problem with the switch that got stuck, so we did spend a few cold nights without the heater, luckily the place was furnished with lots of blankets. Overall, a very pleasant experience!
