Casa Serrano must be one of the best places to stay in Villa Crespo. I loved it. Completely renovated 'casa chorizo' style house with a fantastic roof terrace.
Lots of thought has gone into all the details: mix of modern and old, gorgeous tiles in the bathrooms, great showers, original wooden floors, lighting, a fully equipped open kitchen.
It is cosy and spacious at the same time. Feels open while being private. Super comfortable.
I loved the immediate area too, on a leafy street with a brilliant cafe/bakery/restaurant right across across the road (Marvon) - I went there for breakfast, lunch, and afternoon drinks - and bought lovely fresh bread from there too.There are lots of other cafes, bicycle hire, shops, and a mix of classic and new restaurants etc. It is well positioned for Palermo, but also for getting around the city. I hired a bike and made use of the 'bicisendas' (bicycle lanes/network) right outside the front door.
Matthew is great host, English, but has lived in Argentina for many years and has great recommendations and just wants to make the stay at Casa Serrano the best possible experience. I would definitely stay again, and will be recommending it to others.
