I stayed here with my girlfriend for a little over a week and had a wonderful time.

Clara and her brother were excellent hosts. Very responsive, friendly and accommodating.

The loft is excellent. Very clean and spacious. Great bed. Lots of closet space. Powerful hot shower. A ton of natural light. Comfortable couch, Cable TV, dvd player, very fast wireless internet, towels provided etc.

The location is very good. We began each morning at the little bakery around the corner on Calle Bonpland and Santa Fe. Always a steady stream of locals coming in for their breakfast pastries! We then generally walked all of Palermo and also went the other direction on foot to the Botanic gardens, Japanese gardens, El Rosedal (the rose garden) etc. It's all very safe too. Not once did we come close to encountering any problems.

I particularly enjoyed the shops in Soho and also the restaurants all over greater Palermo. Don Julio is easily the best lomo (filet mignon) in town, delicious!!! And not particularly expensive. My girlfriend and I enjoyed 3-course dinners there a few times for about $60 USD total. La Cabrera is another good one too.There's a ton of cool stores and restaurants just a short walk from the loft.

We also took the city tour bus (we walked from the loft to the stop beside Japanese Gardens) which takes you to all ends of the city. It's a hop on, hop off deal, so gives a lot of flexibility. Boca and Caminito is a pretty interesting and different stop along the way.

I spent one Saturday at the horse track too which was great fun. Very nice track and easy to watch the horses parade before each race, then place bets. Tip: If you want to access the nicer part of the stands make sure to wear dress shoes, not trainers. There is also a big Polo grounds right beside the horse track, but unfortunately there were no games running during my trip. Both are an easy stroll from the loft.

I also spent a day wandering the San Telmo market (only on Sunday's) which was good too - and then continued further up to Evita's pink palace, the obelisk, Teatro Colon and other local sights.

There is also a train station just a couple of blocks away which can take you to Bartholomew Mitre station where you can change trains and hop on the Train de la Costa to visit Tigres, a small town in the greater Buenos Aires state where you can take boat rides up the river. There's also a subway stop a block or so away from the loft as well as tons of buses, though I didn't use them - preferring just to wander by foot.

I'd recommend this loft to anyone looking to fully enjoy Buenos Aires. We found it perfect in all aspects and it really added to the overall comfort and enjoyment of our trip.

Thanks Clara!
