Very clean, fully-equipped, we especially appreciated the clothes washer and dryer. Located in the center of Recoleta, near restaurants and clubs. Consider a weekend visit after 10 pm to the nearby Casa de los Chillado Biaus, with Argentine folk music and spontaneous audience folk dancing.

A lovely 8th floor apartment in a great location handy for shops, bars and restaurants.Both bedrooms were very comfortable with ensuites.The kitchen was small but well equipped.The living area was very nice and the air-con was very effective throughout the property. Communication with the hosts was excellent both before and during our stay. Rodrigo and Nayla were exceptionally helpful and responsive. Our flight was delayed by 7 hours and we arrived at 2am, Nayla was communicative throughout and met us at 2am to ensure a smooth check in.We highly recommend this property.

We had a wonderful stay in this apartment. Coco the manager was easy to deal with when we had questions — responsive, understanding, and knowledgeable. The apartment is located in a trendy neighborhood with supermarkets, shops, and wonderful restaurants. Hailing a taxi was very easy. Walking to the cultural area was also a short distance. Can't wait to return to this wonderful city!

This apartment was perfect for my husband and daughter. The two rooms had their own bathrooms and an extra half bath when needed. The living room was large with a dining room table and a large sofa that allowed the three of us to relax together or watch tv. There was also a lovely balcony where we often had breakfast or just relaxed.The location couldn’t be any better. Lots of places to eat, lots of shopping, easy access to everything and safe. Check in and out: a breeze. Thank you!!

We enjoyed this property and would highly recommend it for 2 couples. Very well equipped kitchen. Loved having the washer and dryer. So close to good restaurants and grocery stores. Silvana was very good meeting us on time to welcome us. The wine and treats were a nice touch. She was good at communicating with if we had any questions. Thank you Silvana
The location is wonderful. Charming neighborhood, cafes, restaurants, kiosks, close to museums and places of interest. My husband and I were traveling with friends and found the apartment very comfortable for two couples. The kitchen is well equipped, the washer /dryer very convenient, comfortable beds, each bedroom with en-suite bathroom and an extra little powder room by the kitchen. Also nice to have the eighth floor view and balconies. Thank you Barry and your team for a very positive experience. Beth Janes.

Our stay at this wonderful VRBO was perfect.
The location is great for restaurants, grocery stores, great coffee
The kitchen is well equipped and modern. The layout is open and airy yet the two large bedrooms provide privacy when traveling with another couple.
Barry made our visit the best with great restaurant and outing ideas.
He was very available via text, responding quickly. His property manager sylvana met us both for checkin and check out and accommodated our every changing flight schedule.
1875 Arenalas is a great place to call home while in the amazing city of Buenas Aires

This apartment is located in the Ricoleta neighborhood just off Avenida Santa Fe. There are abundant shops and restaurants nearby and there’s easy access to the subway and busses. While the apartment was clean, it looks tired. It needs fresh paint, less harsh lighting and it is very minimally furnished. The pillows and linens were in need of replacement. Communication with the host was good.

Thanks for staying with us Randall and sharing your experience. Please know at our Casa Arenales we have all new art, lighting and furnishings in our spacious 2 bedroom home. All linens are always inspected regularly and sincerely appreciate your feedback. Barry
We enjoyed our stay here for several reasons: the apartment has 2 bedrooms, each with ensuite baths which is nice when traveling with adult family members. The beds are very comfortable. The kitchen is fully stocked and the living area is quite comfortable. The washer/dryer was also a nice feature you don’t find in a lot of places. The building is small and very quiet. Check in was very smooth and the apartment manager was quite responsive. The location is great-a grocery store is right next door, a great restaurant for breakfast is just across the street and an excellent gym is less than a block away. You can walk just about anywhere in Recoleta from there. We felt like natives rather than tourists. I would definitely choose this apartment on a return visit to Buenos Aires.

Ellen we can’t thank you enough first and foremost for being such lovely guests. Taking the time to share your experience for our future travelers is a big part of this community and we thank you for sharing your experience. Until next time….. Barry
The property was perfect! Two bedrooms, 2.5 baths, lots of light, space and comfort. And location was ideal! Walk out door and market 20 steps down the street, restaurants at each corner, and only one block away from main thoroughfare.
Only drawback was air conditioner in living room didn't seem to keep room cool, and air conditioner in master bedroom got very loud. We would turn off and use fan.
Otherwise, it is a wonderful apartment, centrally located. And CoCo was super. Met us at check in and check out and had all kinds of wonderful recommendations for us.
Thank you!!!

Hey Jim, thanks for taking the time to share your experience. This is the first we are hearing of any issues regarding either AC units as they are brand new and will immediately have someone to look at them.
All the best for 2020!

This apartment was absolutely perfect for me and my family in the Recoleta neighborhood of Buenos Aires. The location was fantastic, situated in the middle of the historic district and just a short walk, subway ride, or cab ride from all of the attractions that the city has to offer.
The apartment itself is spacious, with 2 full bedrooms each with its own bathroom, plus another half bath. The kitchen is well-stocked and it was all very comfortable for 4 of us.
Barry and his staff were exceptional in supporting us. Our trip was delayed repeatedly, and they were extremely accommodating, including showing up late in the evening to let us in when our flights were extremely late.
I couldn't recommend this apartment any more highly. You will not be disappointed.

Richard, we understand with so many of our guests coming from international destinations that sometimes these delays take place and we always do our best to be flexible. We really enjoyed having you all including your parents and we hope to see you all again soon.
We enjoyed our 2-week stay. Manager Rodrigo was friendly and very accommodating about early check-in and late check-out. Neighborhood was great. About the apartment:The pros- spacious - comfortable bed- good air conditioning- good water pressure - good internet- good washer/dryerThe cons- old building with unwelcoming lobby and small, noisy elevator. Hardly “luxurious.”- could have been better appointed - some maintenance required- a “how’s it going” from the owner/manager at some point during the stay would have been appreciatedBottom line, the apartment suited our purposes well, and the pros definitely outweighed the cons. It was a good deal for the price. We would recommend it, as long as you understand what to expect.

Thanks Alan for taking the time out to share the many things you loved about our completely renovated Casa Arenales Property. We take our entire hosting responsibilities very seriously, so we are disappointed to hear about your comment on lack of communication mid stay as we were in touch with you with many recommendations during your stay, which you shared with us how much you enjoyed. Thanks again for choosing to stay with us and we hope to see you again the next time your travels bring you back to BA. Barry
My friends and I spent three weeks here, getting to know Buenos Aires at our leisure.
I can only praise our treatment, starting with the prompt responses from the manager to our questions, to the kindnesses of the staff who went out of their way to ensure we had some Argentine pesos available at our Sunday check-in, to driving us to/from the airport.
The location of the apartment is in heart of the elegant (and very safe) Recoleta area, with dozens of restaurants, bars, cafes, bakeries, and stores within a two-block radius. My personal favorites are Covadonga across the street, Quotidiano Bar de Pastas a block away, and coffee and pastry in the garden restaurant of Como en Casa next to the apartment.
Before you arrive, study up on the history of Buenos Aires and you will be rewarded by the friendly and courteous portenos who are justifiably proud of their city and happy to explain it to foreign tourists.
I suggest you learn how to use the bus system, or simply hail one of the cheap and plentiful taxis in the area.
You will be glad to endure the long trip to Buenos Aires to experience the fine food, culture, and friendly people.
