About this property
Luxury Restored Parisian Penthouse perfectly located to see all of Buenos Aires
Beautifully restored penthouse apartment on the fourth floor of a Parisian-style building with only 8 apartments. Fantastic location to see Buenos Aires. The apartment was restored over 9 months to reclaim the grand living at the beginning of the 1900s. No expense was spared to recreate the rich feeling with the imported wood while still modernizing the kitchen and bathrooms. Weekly maid service included for longer stays. Furniture and linen upgrades were done in May 2022. Flexible check in and check out times to match your flights are available. We also can recommend a driver to be waiting for you at the airport.
Very high ceilings with ornate plaster work characterized by the wood detailing and original Pinotea Norwegian wooden floors which create a warm atmosphere. There is an entrance hall, separate lounge/living and dining room, a master bedroom with a luxury queen size mattress and bedding with an en-suite bathroom complete with Jacuzzi bathtub and shower.
Second bathroom 'loft-style' above the kitchen with a double bed and a half-bathroom. Designer kitchen with gas stove, dishwasher and refrigerator. Clothes washing machine as well. Living room has a Bose Wave stereo and cable TV with a Smart TV connected to the internet. High-speed wireless internet in the apartment. Mood lighting in every room. Air conditioned for summer and central heating (water forced radiators) in winter. There is an elevator (Parisian style wrought iron) so you don't have to walk up 4 flights to the top floor (unless you are working off all the great food in Buenos Aires).

The apartment is in a great location, spacious, clean and extremely comfortable. Everything was perfectly clean, well decorated and superbly well maintained.
Staying here was one of the highlights of my time in Buenos Aires. The apartment is beautiful. The bed is comfortable. The kitchen and apartment are well equipped. The location is convenient to grocery stores, lots of shopping, two Subte stations, and even language schools. Dave and Miguel are both attentive and helpful. I hope I'll get to stay here again!
we loved our stay in the beautiful, centrally located apartment. dave and miguel were readily available and helped us with everything from using the keys to accessing the building’s trash. the linens were lovely. we’d return in a heartbeat.
Great location. We rented for nearly 3 weeks, while we flew in and out of areas of Argentina. Property has a ton of character with wood floors, doors, trim, all in great shape. Highly recommended. Any challenges were quickly dealt with by the property manager.
This apartment is all it was claimed to be in the ad: a beautiful and charming two bedroom (tho one bedroom is quite small) apartment, nicely furnished and equipped, in the heart of the Palermo district in BA. There's a small grocery store two doors down, a nice cafe across the street. Dave and Miguel kept in touch through a group chat on Whatsapp and they were very responsive and helpful at every step. Highly recommended.
Comfortably located for visiting the diverse neighborhoods of BA, the apartment captures the Paris of the early 1900s, complete with an “ancient” open elevator that works perfectly. More relevant, perhaps, is that you could not wish for more attentive and helpful hosts than Dave and manager Miguel. Important to my wife and me, the firm bed was very comfortable, the WiFi was fast and reliable, the shower pressure great, the kitchen very adequate, and a good AC (summertime stay). The apartment has a spacious living room and dining room.
This is a remarkably beautiful period apartment with high ceilings, polished wood floors and tasteful decoration. In a safe neighbourhood need to the underground and quiet enough for uber pickups we enjoyed every minute of our stay. Dave, the owner, gave us lots of helpful information and Miguel arranged an early check in and very early check out. Dave also arranged Hector, his trusted taxi driver to pick us up so we didn’t have to worry about getting a cab before 6am. The apartment is on the top floor and the quaint Parisian style cage lift was very reliable- just make sure you close both doors on entry and exit. We ate out on a couple of occasions but enjoyed the freedom of making our own food when we wanted to. The kitchen is equipped with everything you need. It’s an easy and interesting walk to Recoleta Cemetery for a fascinating guided tour with Simon, an English guy who hangs out there every day. We also enjoyed exploring nearby Palermo Soho. Dave’s house book also has lots of tips. We wish we could have stayed longer than 4 nights.
We stayed in the apartment for two weeks, and had an impeccable stay. It is on the 4th floor or a nice building with elevator. The apartment is very central, walking distance to almost everything, and in a very good neighborhood. It is close to Ave Santa Fe, so it is not quiet, if this is what you are looking for. The owner as well as local agent are great to work with and very responsive. The apartment is very well equipped with all you need, stable internet that allows working from there also (whereas the apt. is not set up with a desk or table to work from). Bedroom is to the courtyard and there was no noise. Owner left book with great recommendations for BA. If you want to visit BA for vacation, this is a great place to stay.
We had a perfect stay in this beautiful apartment! The apartment is situated in a great Neighborhood and is absolutely gorgeous. Communication was clear and Miguel was very responsive. We would stay here again!
Fantastic apartment that more than meets expectations.
Great apartment full of character in a good area. Everything as described if not better. First class communication at all times. Good guest information brochure. Check-in & check-out easy. Couldn’t recommend more highly.
The historic building and apartment are wonderful- in character and location. We loved staying there and would happily do so again. Both the owner and Miguel the manager are very nice. We were greeted with fresh fruit and water bottles. The actual flat is nicer than the photos show- high ceilings, much historical architectural interest. The owner has updated the primary bedroom with a new white duvet and matching white sheets. Please note the second bedroom and extra half bath are in an open loft above the kitchen which is accessible from some stairs which have no railing on the open side. Perfectly nice once you are up there but probably not for young children who might forget to tread them carefully. There is a wonderful produce grocery just next door and plenty of small other grocery stores around the neighborhood. The other residents of the building are very nice. Highly recommend!

Amazing apartment!
I am an Argentinian living in the US. This apartment was the perfect one for me and my family when visiting our country. The location is perfect (not Recoleta as advertised, actually Palermo), near public transport and walking distance to a lot of restaurants, shopping mall and ant kind of shops. The building is a super quiet one, and the few neighboors we met were really nice with us. The apartment is super quiet, no noises from street or from neighbors, and you will find everything you will need to cook or have a breakfast. The internet was not working properly in the beginning but Miguel was super responsive and diligent to solve it. Even dough he was capable to find someone to come to fix it on January 1st!!!
My only concern is the water heater, it doesn’t work properly and thet was frustrating. Impossible to have a good shower. Too hot or cold are the options if its working... if not working (most of the time) the only option is cold water, wich wasn’t a big deal because we were on Summer.
I would rent it again if needed, I really love it!!!
The owner and local host were beyond wonderful in helping us navigate all aspects of our trip! We can't thank them enough!! The property is lovely and a great location to see all of the different areas of the city via public transportation or walking.
