Luxury Palermo Soho-Plasma TV, Hot Tub, Wi-Fi, Balcony

This is a condo in a modern building, a place that is clean, air conditioned, spacious and modern with a fantastic location.
We rented this place for one month, we are elderly (65 and ?? -she'd kill me if I said her age-).
Everything worked, the host is not there but only a phone call away. You can call on the cell they give you. We tried it a few times and they acted fast and called back right away. You can use their Apple equipment for Email or to get on line. ( we had our own portable and always had Wi-Fi ). We bought food from a Supermarket just one block over. There are 2 stores, but we prefered the one (make a L then a R then a R ) for some reason. We walked to the Subte ( subway ) just 5 blocks away. We took the bus (#5) sometimes from the Subte station and it let us off right in front of the door. To take the bus TO the Subte, walk one block over, in front of the Supermarket. We ate in every Restaurant around the Condo and all were good. We slept like logs at night. We did not use the hot tub, it was too hot ( 35 C ) to take a hot tub. But the A/C in the condo worked well and we were never hot in the Condo.
What can I say..... it is a good place. I bet you will have a hard time finding a better place in Palermo. Enjoy YOUR vacation or time in Buenos Aires. We sure did ! And the Condo was perfect for us.

This property has everything one would need for a wonderful stay in Buenos Aires. It is located in the best neighborhood in B.A. and within steps of restaurants, a gym, a travel agency, a venue for live concerts, a book store, produce stores, grocery stores, pharmacies, many trendy shops, a Saturday streeet market, buses and the subway. It is furnished beautifully and completely. The owner is very gracious and responsive. He employs a property manager and maid who strive to make the stay perfect. We look forward to returning as soon as we can and hope this apartment is available. The monthly rate is a great deal.

I stayed at this apartment for a wonderful week+ this August, 2011. The apartment itself is quite nice, with a very nice kitchen, nice furniture, wi-fi and a mobile phone. I had no trouble sleeping here (there's two pillow sizes, thankfully!, and plenty of throw-pillows too). There is a gym less than a block away with very inexpensive eight-uses-per-month rates (AR$35 when I was there), something that was important to me and that I normally look for in hotels. I have no complaints, whether about the apartment or the building.

The location is wonderful, being in walking distance to three major milonga locations: La Viruta, Villa Malcolm, and El Fulgor (where Milonga Diez is hosted), as well as the Fundación de Tango Argentino (where I attended a Tango workshop as well as private classes), and the "rural" (where the Tango festival is being hosted as I write this). El Beso is a short cab ride away (walking distance, in a pinch), as are several other milongas and prácticas.

Even closer -two blocks away-, particularly for the non-dancer, is a Plaza (on Serrano) full of nightlife, and, during the day, fairs. For those of you who don't know, Palermo SOHO is teh place to be in Buenos Aires, particularly if you want to find locals and foreigners both to party with.

Also nearby: "kioscos" and supermarkets (OK, not "super" by American standards, but you can get supplies and food, which is plenty good enough on vacation), as well as much shopping of all sorts (clothing, books, ...) and cafes, restarants, bars, restobars, ... On Santa Fe ave there are several banks, and since Santa Fe is busy at all hours it is quite safe to use these banks even at late hours (though folks who are not familiar with the area should still exercise extra caution even when using an ATM on Santa Fe).

Cabs are available at all hours, and so are policemen, who can be found on foot patrol every several blocks at night.

There's even a rooftop jacuzzi (though I'd not recommend even thinking about it in the winter), as well as free washer and dryer.

Finally, I cannot forget to mention that the owner and caretaker have been very helpful, and very nice (both speak English and Spanish fluently).

In short: comfortable, safe, and convenient in every way that's important when on vacation, at least to me. I can't wait to find the time to go back!

PS: I'm slightly worried that this review might cause it to be harder for me to book this apartment whenever I get to go back to Bs. As. :)
