What a great apartment. The upper floor with bedroom and ensuite opening up onto a rooftop terrace was a retreat within a retreat. We had several guests come and go during the two months we were there, and the layout, with the main floor bedrooms opening off a sunny corridor accessed through a full glass door from the large kitchen area, provided the luxury of privacy.
Ebbe stressed in his preview of the apartment that the street-facing windows had been upgraded during his renovation, giving relief from street noise. I can't stress enough what a bonus this was. Coming into the apartment from the bustle and noise of this amazing city was incredibly calming. Everyone who visited us was struck the sense of home and security they felt.
Ebbe may be an 'absentee' landlord, but he stayed in touch to make sure all was going well. And his man on the ground, Pablo, was beyond helpful. He responded quickly and efficiently to all requests and was also a font of information about the city and making the most of our stay. It was like having our very own, totally charming concierge.
Location was perfect for us,. San Telmo is the liveliest, and to my mind, most interesting area of the city. Their are certainly ritzier neighborhoods, but this is where Buenos Aires began, and it still feels like the heart of the city. Thanks Ebbe, for creating such a wonderful home away from home.
