Great communication and the view is indeed great
The property is as described. Everything you need is there. The location is great. I am a regular visitor to BA and I will stay here again. What is important to me is great communication. Valarie and Alma provide that. There is nothing worse than standing at the curb wondering if you will get in. No worries here. I recommend this property for a couple or single traveler

Great communication,excellent location and truly, WHAT A VIEW!
We stayed for four nights in this Recoleta apartment, conveniently located for exploring Buenos Aires. The linens and bath towels were excellent quality, and our sleeping was sound! The best part was communication before, during and after our trip. Valerie gave us helpful information. Cata met us at the apartment when we arrived, as well as when we departed. She also contacted us to make sure everything was fine during our stay. The small apartment, in an area that felt safe, with an amazing view is perfect for a base to explore Buenos Aires.Buenos Aires.sleepincomfortable.

Perfect Stay
We are SO HAPPY we picked this apartment for our first visit to Buenos Aires. Everything was top notch. It is situated in an ideal location for restaurants, hop on hop off bus, galleries, etc. The neighbourhood is safe and clean. The apartment was everything as described, clean and spacious. The building itself has a friendly concierge who is on hand, if needed. Thank you so much Valerie and Alma for looking after us. If we ever get back to BA we will definitely stay with you again.

Recoleta Perfection
This comfortable apartment is in a desirable neighborhood in a very secure building. It has everything you could possibly need. The views of the cemetery can't be beat. We were here over New Years and had an amazing view of the fireworks from the balcony. The owner is the most responsive owner I have ever dealt with and her local representative, Alma, is the same. We were met at arrival and shown around the apartment and everything was explained. All questions we had were answered. They arranged a ride for us from the airport which was greatly appreciated and the cost was very reasonable. I would stay here again in a heartbeat if I ever get to return to Bunos Aires.

Great Stay
Wonderful quiet location close to everything we needed, high floor with, yes, an excellent view. Not fancily decorated but it was comfortable and immaculate and that's what matters to us. Owner lives in Florida but her agent in Buenos Aires was extremely responsive and informative. Complete kitchen we didn't use much since we went out all the time (although it could use some paper towels.) One potential maintenance issue: it was quite hot while we were there and while the air conditioning in the living room worked perfectly, we couldn't get the thermostat in the bedroom air conditioning to work and as such it was on constantly and it was always quite chilly in there. Given the outside temps, that's better than the alternative.I had great difficulties getting the VRBO site to work and their customer service people were awful, but the owner jumped in, communicated directly with me and worked with VRBO to eventually get the site working well enough that I could do the rental. Wouldn't have happened without all her efforts.Only criticism is that the bed felt much more like a queen than the advertised king. Maybe size definitions differ there, but it was definitely smaller than the king size bed we have at home.

Hidden gem!
For our first, but definitely not last, visit to Buenos Aires, we chose well with this Vrbo. The location is ideal, near shopping, good restaurants, a famous cemetery, and close to one of the city's airports. The members of the management team - owner Valerie, Ana Maria, and Máximo - were solicitous, friendly, and helpful with suggestions for activities in the area and places to eat. That said, we have to get to some tango next time! Great place to stay for two people.

Valerie, Max and Ana were available to answer questions. Ana met us and had picked up sandwich and water for us since it was lunchtime- she was very informative and helpful. We miss it already Anne will be back.

Great Location!
We decided for our first trip to Buenos Aries to stay in the Recoleta neighborhood and this condo was the perfect option for us. Great location, well equipped, comfortable, bright and airy one bedroom. We loved the beautiful view of the Recoleta Cemetery and the balcony for morning coffee and afternoon wine. Max, the local property manager, could not have been more helpful. Great restaurant and local activity suggestions. Spoke perfect English and was very quick to respond to questions or requests.

Good location with a great view
Stayed for 10 weeks, working remotely. The wifi was excellent the entire time. The building is quite old with two small elevators, but the flat has been updated with most everything you need. We rarely cooked as eating out was more fun and, when we were there, less expensive. Max (the flat manager) and Valerie (the owner) responded to all requests quickly and even replaced the A/C unit when it malfunctioned. The location is safe with a vibrant night life of clubs, restaurants and bars on the street below. Easy walking to many of the museums and interesting attractions. One last note: Due to extreme heat much of the city was subject to power outages (sometimes for a week or more) but we never experienced loss of power for more than a couple of hours one night.

Valerie is great to work with as she is very responsive and gets back with clear recommendations. At the apartment, Max is truly awesome to work with. He is extremely helpful and got us situated right away. At the apartment, everything you need is in few minutes walking distance. The building has two well maintained elevators. The entrance to the building had two sets of locked doors with attendant on site during the week. The area is very safe. Families and kids are out late in the evenings when we visited in December 2017. The subway station is 5 minutes by walk. Taxis are easily available. Thank you Valerie and Max for your hospitality.

Fabulous Location and HOST!!!!!!!
I cannot say enough nice things about Maximo, who welcomed us with open arms from the second we got there. He had a bottle of wine waiting for my mom and I as well as helped us with our suitcases and answered any questions that we had when we first got there. Unfortunately on the second day my mom got really sick and Maximo called an ambulance and he stayed with me for over four hours, and took care of absolutely everything…..this man deserves an award!!! He went above and beyond…..I honestly cannot say enough nice things. Fortunately everything is fine with my mom and the rest of our stay was absolutely fantastic!!! The location is key and is near absolutely everything from coffee to bars to shopping and of course amazing sightseeing! The view is absolutely spectacular. The air conditioning is a Wonder!!!! Maximo kept in contact with us during our entire stay with whatever I needed. He was there to help!!!! And then, of course, on the day that we were leaving, Maximo showed up and helped us to our Ubers with our suitcases! A perfect host and wonderful human being!!! Thank you again for everything!!!❤️❤️❤️

About the host

Hosted by Valerie

Host profile image
After working on and off in Buenos Aires for many years, in 2003 we finally came for vacation. We had such a great time...we loved the people, the architecture, the art...and of course the food. We decided we'd like to spend more time in Buenos Aires and in 2004, we cashed in our stock options for this apartment. Today, we live in Naples, Florida, but have a great manager who meets and greets our guests.

Why they chose this property

We wanted to own an apartment in a major city that didn't require us to drive - a walking city, with good mass transportation or inexpensive taxis. It needed to have great architecture, style, art, music...and of course, incredible food.

We found Buenos Aires to have all this and more...and at a much lower cost than Europe. Like New York or Paris, every neighborhood is a new adventure.

We love the sidewalk cafes, the weekend art fairs, biking through the parks of Palermo. And while we always heard the steaks were great, no one ever told us about the homemade pasta...incredible.

What makes this property unique

Incredible view of the Recoleta cemetery. Jim took the initial listing picture from our balcony in the early morning. He won 3rd place in the Miami Herald photo contest for this image.

The location of this property makes it convenient to visit all of Buenos Aires. The Micro Centre, San Telmo and La Boca are to the South, while Palermo and Belgrano are to the North.
