Affordable Luxury in Midtown with 3 bdr/3baths and Central Patio with Parrilla
Think of living in the luxury of the Argentine bourgeoisie of the early 20th century but with the modern conveniences of the 21st! Our flat revolves around a large, open, Spanish-style patio with ample seating and the essential parrilla. Off of it is a huge master suite with seating area, an over-sized marble walk-in bath, a dressing room (California closet) and a boudoir; a family room decorated in Spanish colonial style; an entirely tiled and well-equipped galley kitchen; and a large bath with deep jacuzzi tub. Beyond the family room is a formal living/dining area with a cozy fireplace, a den/office space with a pull-out bed, and a balcony facing the street. Above the kitchen is the old maid's quarters, now converted into an "industrial" loft bedroom with a private bath.
But wait! This is in the heart of Buenos Aires--half a block from Corrientes (the Broadway of BA) with numerous theaters, cafes, restaurants, shops and clubs. Recoleta, the city's swanky neighborhood, is an easy 15 walk away along beautiful tree-lined streets and French-style buildings. Four subway lines within a three-block radius connect you to the rest of the city's popular areas: Palermo, Puerto Madero, San Telmo, and Boca.
Talcahuano is a busy commercial street known for its many musical instrument establishments and colorful, artsy, individualistic neighbors. North, it leads straight into Recoleta; go four blocks south, and you come to Avenida de Mayo—the city's most beautiful avenue, flanked at one end by the Parliament (capitol building) and the other by the Casa Rosada (the presidential mansion).
Our staff, who speak Spanish and English (and can communicate in Portuguese), are natives and can help you with any issue related to the city and its vibrant cultural life.

Unbelievable hospitality - our host was accessible, responsive, helpful, and accommodating. I cannot speak more highly of her! The flat was spacious and comfortable - perfect for our family to enjoy meals together, play games, and relax with a book. We visited during an incredible heat wave and the rooms stayed nice and cool. Highly recommend!!!

Liked: Check-in, communication, listing accuracy
The host was very responsive and helpful. Nice older apartment with lots of charm but it could have been cleaner. Especially the kitchen floor. We were surprised by the two homeless people that slept on the sidewalk directly across from the apartment every night, although they didn’t cause any trouble. There is a small store next to the apartment that had people standing out front until 2-3:00 in the morning most nights playing loud music which disrupted our sleep. All in all we enjoyed the apartment and the close proximity to everything. The music and noise coming from the store was quite frustrating though.

I’m very disappointed to hear that the apartment did not feel adequately clean. I manage the flat from far away and have never had this complaint. I will be sure to address this immediately. I’m so sorry you had this experience.
The property was beautifully decorated! It is obvious that each piece of art or furniture was thoughtfully picked. The property manager was so sweet and very helpful. She arranged airport transfers for us. We had a very nice stay here.
The location and apartment were amazing! Everything is within walking distance. The apartment is stunning and well equipped. We will be returning. Thank you Rodney and Lia for everything! We loved your apartment!!
Our family of 4 had a great stay here for a week in February. Beautifully decorated and a new smart TV for binging Netflix at night. Great communication with the owner and his helpful neighbors made this a much easier transition for us. The little store underneath the apartment is a hidden gem for good quality wine at very reasonable prices.
This apartment is spectacular, very roomy and amply furnished for all your needs. The apartment is about a 4 block walk to all the action in the Obelisk area with anything you could want for food and entertainment . The host and his agents are amazing-very attentive anaccommodating. accommodafSMH
Great location for taking walks, or using the subway or buses. Just two blocks from Teatro Colon and other theaters. The street itself is a bit tacky but we had no problems either night or day. The apartment itself is beautiful and unique. The apartment manager, Nenina, was especially helpful. Uber is also good for getting around.

Good location. Clean and well appointed.
Very nice. There were minor inconveniences, but they are not important enough to complain about.
Beautiful apartment with room to spread out. The location was perfect to be able to walk to the many bakeries we found. The fireplace kept the apartment warm and added to the charm. Rodney was amazing and helped us get a ride from the airport as well as took us to exchange money. He had tons of suggestions and was easy to communicate with.
Our family of four (2 teens) loved this apartment. The kids each had their own rooms, and we loved having coffee in the courtyard in the mornings. The street it's on is a bit gritty, but it's easy (and very affordable!) to grab cabs on the corner of Corriente to the more tree-lined neighborhoods (Palermo, Recoleta, Retiro) for museums/restaurants, etc. Rodney was a very attentive and helpful host.
This is a 3 bedroom, 3 bath located near the Obelisk and Teatro Colon. We spent 3 weeks there and enjoyed it. It has everything you need. It is on a busy street near 24 hour shopping, pharmacies, good restaurants and cafes. The caretaker does not speak English but we communicated easily with a combination of Google Translate and WhatsApp. The Metro is 2 blocks away and Ubers are easy to find. We recommend it
Everything about our stay at this apartment was perfect. Our host Rodney was easy to communicate with, so check-in was a breeze.
The apartment is so comfortable and inviting; we hated to leave. There was everything we needed in the neighborhood. A good local store right next to the apartment, restaurants, bakeries were all available within walking distance.
I would recommend this apartment to anyone interested in a safe, comfortable stay in Buenos Aires.
A classic Argentine comfy and spacious appartment on 1st floor. High ceilings and traditional furniture. Outdoor parilla fun. Safe area. Great location. We were there with our 2 adult children who loved it! I would say comfy for 4 people max. Take Uber or taxi(pay cash, very cheap) to Palermo, a fun neighborhood with bars and restaurants (did a foodtour there) So much to do in the city that 6 days was perfect. Weather was not the best, rainy 18-20C. Half day bike tour was great, highly recommend. Tangoshow in La Ventana was fantastic. Recoleta cemetery fabulous. Do San Telmo on a Sunday. Loved being back after a long time.
The apartment is charming and comfortable. Walking distance to many attractions. The use of Uber made getting around simple. There is a washer but no dryer. The host stayed in touch and gave us two methods of any help needed while in the apartment. The host also arranged for a driver to meet us at the airport for transport to the airport. This was huge. Exceptionally helpful. The only downside was there was often a group of individuals congregating just outside the door approaching us for handouts. It was uncomfortable but did not feel unsafe.
My daughter fell in love with this apartment immediately upon seeing the photos in the listing. She wanted to get a true Argentine experience. I was looking more at modern apartments with some amenities. The host was quick to respond to a few questions we had prior to booking and communication throughout the rental process was exceptional, including a very detailed message with useful information. The apartment was exactly as it appears in the photos and is well equipped. We thoroughly enjoyed taking a break each day to have mate with local pastries in the private courtyard. The building is located steps away from Avenida Corrientes, one of the cities main avenues and very close to many of the tourist attractions. We were in and out of the apartment at all hours and safety was never an issue. Overall, a very positive experience. Thank you Rodney for being an excellent host and a big shout out to your local agent Emir.
Es hat alles gepasst. Der Vermieter ist freundlich und sehr hilfsbereit, die Wohnung so groß und stilvoll wie es die Bilder zeigen, und alles Sehenswerte in Buenos Aires ist in kurzer Zeit zu erreichen. Wir haben nach den Stadttouren aber auch gern und ausgiebig den Luxus des Patio und des Salons genossen. Ein echter Tipp für Freunde des urbanen Lebens (das auch mal laut sein darf) und des nostalgischen Flairs.
Somos uruguayos y fuimos pasar Semana Santa, muy buen apto y tremendo servicio el del inquilino. Todo en tiempo y forma, el apto es igual a cómo se ve en las fotos.
Recomendable 100%
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.

About the host
Hosted by Lia Rodriguez
I'm a retired professor who fell in love with Buenos Aires because of its architectural beauty and world-class cultural infrastructure. So I bought a retirement home and totally refurbished it.
Why they chose this property
I love the neighborhood; it's a bit shabby-chic but architecturally it's one of the finest in the city. And no neighborhood is more centrally located! I can walk almost everywhere, and my beloved Teatro Colon is 2 blocks away!
What makes this property unique
Location, location, location! And a beautiful open-to-the-sky central patio with a parrilla. Wait til you see the master bedroom opening unto the patio and you'll understand why I love this place.
