Buenos Aires holiday

We stayed in Buenos Aires for a week in early July 2009 at this apartment which was located very close to Plaza San Martin and the train/bus station. The apartment was clean, fully stocked, and very comfortable. The supermarket is a block away, which was very convenient. A short walk to the subway allowed us to get to anywhere we wanted, and of course there were enough taxis at all hours.

The apartment itself was everything we expected after reading the description, a large bed (a bit hard), all the amenities we could ever need, and plenty of towels.

Overall, Hugo was very thorough, making sure to confirm our flight, have a taxi available for us upon arrival, and someone to meet us at the apartment to give us the key. The deposit was returned without any problems.

My next trip to Buenos Aires will definitely go through this apartment again. From the original email to the owner until our departure, the experience was very smooth.

We recently returned from our trip to Buenos Aires. We chose this apt. for a 7 day stay after reading the VRBO description and comments and we totally agree with the previous guests. The apt. was very comfortable and well appointed. We did not lack for anything and really appreciated the 24 hour security person in the lobby. Our friendly greeter met us punctually, explained things about the apt. and the area and then was only a phone call away if we had any additional questions or concerns.
The location was fantastic. It was easily convenient for us to have a morning cafe con leche and medialuna at a restaurant, pick up freshly washed and folded laundry at a llavadero, purchase items at a supermercado and have para llevar (takeout) from a pizza place. Restaurants nearby that we enjoyed incl. El Mirasol and JuanaM (great salad bar). One evening in between outings, we were relaxing with a vino tinto on the balcony and were serenaded by the lovely sounds of a singer who was giving a concert in a nearby outdoor courtyard.
BA is a very walkable city and we explored Recoleta, Microcentro, San Telmo, La Boca, Puerto Madero and Palermo. The subte (subway) was close by if distance or time was a consideration though we needed the walking to offset the culinary pleasures of BA. A day trip to El Tigre was also memorable. Retiro train station was within a manageable walking distance and the cost of the 55 minute train ride was extremely inexpensive.
We would have absolutely no hesitation returning to BA and to this apt. We did some homework about what to see and do in BA and area (incl. going across to Uruguay), brought our Spanish phrase book/dictionary, spoke some very rusty high school Spanish and enjoyed the trip immensely. This apt. was a great home base from which to experience the charm and excitement of Buenos Aires.

Great location. Walking distance to Recoleta, Av Alvear, Santa Fe, Florida, Av Libertador. There´s a supermarket near by. Great Restaurants all around. Was clean, well equiped. just as describe. We really had a great time in BA, the place was an excellent choice, will go back anytime. Thanks
