Do you read Wallpaper or Dwell? Are you design conscious? This beautiful apartment is spacious and airy with hardwood floors as its polished concrete counters and ceiling gave off a modern luxury feel without that unfinished loft look. Houseplants (hey, I thought they were real) added botanical lushness just like our quiet tree lined street which is characteristic of Palermo. When you open the shades, natural daylight floods the space without being harsh (perfect for your morning makeup routine,) and the bathroom has a long white marble counter space for two. My bf and I never felt crowded. Our balcony was huge- you are above the trees for evening drinking organic Malbec from the neighborhood health food store Flora Almacen.
Tina is a kind, responsive host. She knows Buenos Aires well, especially if you seek local yet epicurean experiences. Thanks to Tina, our mornings started off with a walk down the street to Salvaje- an organic cafe with its own bakery upstairs. The neighborhood in general is very walkable and at night, it is safe. It’s a hip area without being gentrified or attracting the college party crowd. I’m officially in love with Argentina and need to stay here when we come back!
