Las Canitas is a gem of a neighborhood in the Palermo section of Buenos Aires. Manuela's apartment is located at the end of boulevard-like street, a lovely canopy of trees runs down the middle of the block. It's a super quiet location and the windows of the apartment look out onto the Polo Field. Pity there were no matches when I lived at this Delightful Loft! Cafes, restaurants, lots of Gelato and all the essential stores are at your doorstop. There is a high end mall within a 10 minute walk. And the wonderful Palermo Park is a 10 jog minute jog away. Buses, cabs, right there and subway not too far by foot.

There is really no noise and you will appreciate how special the location once you have spent a few day in Buenos Aires which is a large, bustling city.

If you haven't been to BsAs before, please know that the City is huge and spreadout. If you plan to spend most of your time in the Center or San Telmo, please know it takes awhile to get to and from downtown no matter where you live in Palermo.

Manuela's duplex is 'new,' very clean and comfortable. Kitchen had all that I needed to eat-in if I wanted to. I appreciated the regular housecleaning service and the apartment has a washing machine which is pretty rare and a great convenience.

The on-site building super was very helpful and responsive, although it helps to know a little bit of Spanish. But that advice applies to most everywhere is South America.

Met Manuela's Mom at the apartment and she help me get situated. Although Manuela was not in town she was super internet-accessible.

My recent visit was my third trip to the City but my first in an apartment. I consider myself exceptionally fortunate to have found Manuela and her home. She'll be my first call when I go back for my fourth journey to Argentina!
