Fairly easy process. We selected a different place first but it cancelled on us 3 days before we were to leave. Got lucky to get this place

This apartment may be the most stunningly opulent and beautiful place I've ever stayed. Our stay was broken into two sections so we could visit Mar del Plata for a few nights, and as we headed back to Buenos Aires we joked that we couldn't wait to get back to "our palace." The candelabras, eclectic art, gorgeous inlay furniture, and dreamy balcony windows made me feel like the main character in some sort of South American Moulin Rouge fantasy. I'm a sucker for tile work and the lush patio with its decorative plates and greenery is a showstopper. We had many a coffee out there in the mornings and many a Fernet con Coca there in the evenings. On the less glamorous but no less important side of things: Amenities! The kitchen is well-equipped and we were thrilled to have both a dishwasher and a washing machine so we could do laundry during our stay. The wifi was reliable, and the water pressure in the shower was great. The place couldn't be more central and conveniently located. It's just around the corner from El Obelisco and Teatro Colón, with a Carrefour and a Dia grocery store both within a couple minutes' walk, plus some lovely parks, plenty of shopping, and places to eat. Much of the city is reachable by foot if you're game for putting in some steps: Puerto Madero, Recoleta, and San Telmo are all pretty close, and we took the Subte or taxis for more far-flung (or late-night) adventures. Rodney was an excellent host: super responsive to our questions, and gave us some great recommendations for restaurants and live music. I would absolutely love to come back one day, perhaps at a different time of year. It was pretty hot out while we were there so we never got around to using the huge Jacuzzi tub, and that's going to haunt me.

If you want to truly experience the old world charm of Buenos Aires, this is the place for you. The apartment is a design from early in the 1900's with a central patio (open air) with access from all other rooms. It allows for indoor/outdoor living and gives you a feel for living in a different era. The apartment has been refurbished while keeping the charm and quirkiness of a prior era. High ceilings, huge windows/doors, completely furnished with antiques and art. Wonderful living spaces. The location also worked for us. This is not a residential-only neighborhood, but one that is close to the sites you will want to see and experience. It's a little gritty, but was safe and convenient. The master bedroom is tucked away from the street and is nice and quiet. The street can be a bit noisy at times in the living room and study, which are above the street. Rodney was very helpful in arranging an airport pickup, tour guides, money exchanges, etc. Staying here helped us to have a wonderful Buenos Aires experience.

If you like old architecture and antique furniture, you will love this place. The ceilings reach to the sky and the inside patio is actually open to the sky. The apartment is spacious and works quite well for two couples as in our case. So much nicer than the typically sterile apartments one tends to find in vacation properties in Buenos Aires and elsewhere. The front room has a comfortable Murphy bed but the traffic was quite noisy. Quite tolerable with ear plugs. The location is ideal in terms of access to all the main sites in the centro, some good but not great restaurants, and amazing architecture. We recommend this highly.

Very nice. There were minor inconveniences, but they are not important enough to complain about.

This apartment was well located, beautifully set up and furnished. Its closeness to Corrientes made it easy to catch taxis - and direct taxi drivers home late at night. Towels, bed linen and kitchen equipment were plentiful, with a weekly cleaning service making life easier. Shelving and storage space was abundant. Being on the first floor made it easy to reach either by stair or at the end of a long day (and night) by the delightfully old fashioned lift. The rococo furniture gave a sense of luxury and provided a perfect setting for late afternoon drinks. Absolutely loved the whole experience. And the 'red book' with information, ideas and suggestions was invaluable.
