This place was amazing. We enjoyed every minute we were there which unfortunately wasn't long enough to fully enjoy it. The two balconies add a nice touch as you have an area to spread out on nice days/nights and we were looking forward to stretching there after our runs (that never happened). I will definitely plan to stay here again when we return to Buenos Aires.
Some things to note for others prior to booking.
-The bed is more on the firm side.
-There is air conditioning and it is really good. The upstairs room is a little warmer than downstairs so if you have split the place upstairs and downstairs make sure the person downstairs has an extra blanket.
- As with most places in south america, the walls aren't super thick and you can hear the neighbors. Because this is a split level, one morning we hear our neighbors leaving and it sounded like they were coming into our apartment. Once we realized it was just the sound of them locking their door, the next few days were fine and we didn't notice anything. Just more an FYI as it caught us off guard the first day :)
- The pool is nice but it is smaller than I initially thought. We didn't end up using it because by the time we returned from seeing the city it was late in the day and starting to get cold. I bring it up as I wouldn't rent this place for the pool but it is a nice add on.
- You get one key that you need to enter and leave the apartment. This is good to know just in case you are staying with friends and plan to split up at all during the day.
- The Wifi is strong and while I don't remember the exact measurement, it was over 10 MBPS up/download.
- The location is great, right near Palermo and about 5-10 minutes walking to most of the main bars/restaurants in Palermo. Also if you go the opposite way from the main area of Palermo, there are three great bars about 2-3 blocks away. Two are across the street from each other and owned by the same person. They focus on beer and have a ton of options. The third is a block further and has a ton of wine options. We did not eat at any but the drinks and staff were great.
0 One of the recommendations was to go to "i Latina" for dinner. WE HIGHLY recommend it if you have the money to splurge. It comes out to about 4.900 pesos for the food and 1.600 pesos for the drinks (about $100 USD in total for both) per person. A similar tasting menu and experience in the US would cost closer to $400-500 per person. They recommend making reservations and we made ours 1 day before.
