Reviews of Property: Valentino's Palermo Soho Penthouse

The building is perfectly located in the heart of Palermo Soho, which is the trendiest and safest area of BA. The flat itself is very tastefully decorated, and offers all the confort anyone could possibly think of. What's most impressive about this flat is its exceptional terrace, which is spacious and offers a really inspiring view. Petit plus: a jaccuzzi on the roof... enjoy!

We have just returned from a four-week stay at Valentino's Penthouse in Palermo Soho (VRBO#98536) and enjoyed our time so much that we're planning to return next year. The accommodation was very comfortable and well-equipped; we made use of the balcony for our breakfasts and the wonderful patio for late afternoons and evenings outside. We left for a three-day stay at an estancia; when we returned we felt that it was great to be back home! The neighborhood was so pleasant with tree-lined streets and so many restaurants to choose from within easy walking distance. Grocery stores large and small were close by and the metro stop was about a ten-minute walk.
We enjoyed the weekend markets at nearby Plaza Palermo Viejo and Plaza Cortezar. We visited lots of BA neighborhoods but were happy that we'd chosen this location.
The apartment manager, Guille, was very accessible and handled any problem we had quickly and efficiently. We felt very lucky to have her so readily available. Miriam kept the apartment in great shape cleaning it weekly; we only wish we'd been able to communicate more with her!
This was our first time renting an apartment and our experience with VRBO and with Thom Downey in particular was all that we could have hoped for. Everything went smoothly from start to finish and we look forward to returning.

I absolutely loved my experience at the soho penthouse! The apartment is a perfect size, has amazing light, a fantastic terrace...I can go on. Thom and Guille were great and I felt right at home as soon as I walked in the door. I can't wait for my next trip back to BA and I will most definitely be staying at Thom's apartment again!

Fantastic!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!
Well I have been here for almost a month now and I don't want to leave. This place is great, both Buenos Aires and and the apt. I do not think you could do better,
I had a couple of friends come down for my 50th birthday. They each rented their own apts, my apt was the best by far and one friend payed a lot more.
So stop your search if this place is available book it, you won't be disapointed.
Thom and his fantastic manager Guille are the best and even the cleaning lady they use was great.
I have not one complaint, well one, I do not want to go home.
I am calling the airline to see if I can change my ticket to stay another week, just by chance the apt is available.
I loved the area so much I am meeting with a real estate agent to look at buying in the same neighborhood. But it will be hard to find a unit as nice as this.
Thanks again, a future tenant for sure!

I rented this apartment for a month and I am extremely happy with it for several reasons. First, after having visited all the neighborhoods, I find Palermo Viejo to be far and away the best. If you like great restaurants, cafes, bars, people watching, walking, and outdoor green spaces, this is the place. The apartment is located within walking distance of all these as well as several grocery stores and a subway stop.

The place itself is quality with nice furniture and two decks with gorgeous views. It is very special to sit out on the deck on a spring morning or during sunset with a glass of Argentinian wine.

Thom (owner) and Guille (manager) are outstanding. The whole experience rates a perfect 10.

We had a wonderful stay at Valentino's Soho Penthouse! The apartment was perfect. The location was very central and in a very safe neighborhood. Thom and Guille were a dream to deal with. Let Guille arrange a car for you from / to the airport Aldo and Luciano are great. It was so nice to arrive after an overnight flight and be welcomed by Aldo.

A couple of fun places near the apartment:

La Cabrera Cabrera 5099 y Thames (Awesome Parilla with great food and friendly service)

Casa Cruz Uriarte 1658 (Ask Inez to make you your favorite cocktail, she is a master! Beautiful Restaurant as well)

Bar Uriarte Uriarte 1572 (Great place for Drinks, Lunch or Dinner)

Don't hesitate to book this apartment it is better then advertised! We will be back soon.

My son, age 14, and I stayed here for two weeks
the middle of June. We had a blast. The apartment
was perfect, right in the heart of everything.
Location, location, location 100%; The apartment
was large enough that my son and I were not on
top of each other and we each had our own privacy.
I would highly recommend this property to anyone
visiting the Soho area. Thom, the owner was great
as was his assistant manager. Everything worked
out fine, smooth transaction. Any questions,
please feel free to contact me as I highly
recommend this property to anyone wanting to be
in the heart of the action.

Four of us stayed at the condo for a week in late May. Before leaving for BA, my son talked to a friend who had stayed recently in a hotel in the "Microcentro" (city center)area - the friend said he spent most of his time traveling to the Soho area - I knew that we had chosen the right location with the Soho Penthouse! Everything we wanted was within easy walking distance: ATM, grocery stores, bars, restaurants, coffee shops, etc. La Cabrera is several blocks away and a particularly good restaurant that we highly recommend. When we ventured further, the subway was an easy walk. The condo was modern, comfortable, and exactly as described. We enjoyed playing cards on the large balcony each evening before going out to a late dinner.
