Photos and Description of the Recoleta vacation condo rental
Condo, 3 Bedrooms, 3 Baths, (Sleeps 5)

For most foreign visitors, Recoleta and Palermo are the top residential neighborhood choices in Buenos Aires. The best-kept secret is that just between them lies La Isla (The Island), an exquisite, small hill surrounded not by water but by parks and grand staircases that keep major traffic at bay.

Gelly y Obes, just two blocks in length, is the main street of La Isla, the address of the mansion of the British Ambassador and that of the most aristocratic and private Argentines. During your visit to Buenos Aires, you will have the chance to stay in La Isla, at a fantastic 140 square meter NON-SMOKING apartment comfortably appointed for four or five guests with great living room/dining room, study, three bedrooms, three bathrooms, wireless Internet, phone land line and a complementary cell phone to keep in touch with your travel companions.

You will be at walking distance from Recoleta, with it's restaurants, cabarets, multiplex, artisan street fairs, and cultural center. You will also be at three blocks from the Museo de Bellas Artes and two from the National Public Library. But you will be above it all, in a capsule of comfort and peace, that you can leave only when you are ready for noise and excitement.

About Carlos Munoz

I am a film producer with properties in the Caribbean, New York, and Buenos Aires.

Carlos Munoz purchased this condo in 2007
Why Carlos Munoz chose Recoleta

I was thinking about making a real estate investment, but was undecided. When I saw this apartment, I fell in love with it. It is extremely spacious, has a wonderful balcony on a very quiet cobble street, it is so centrally located yet in an exclusive area of the city... I just couldn't let the opportunity escape.

What makes this condo unique

I love how quiet and comfortable the place is. It is really my home away from home.

Beautiful, well-designed, home away from home

5 of 5
Submitted: December 5, 2012 Stayed: November 2012
Truly a lovely, spacious apartment we enjoyed coming back to each day. Ingenious design means you can close various doors of the apartment so that people can still be lively in the living or dining room and others can still be sleeping in the bedrooms. Each bedroom is also quite separated from the others as well. The light is more ample in the living room and bedroom than they appear in the photos - and in the evening, there are plenty of light sources which brighten the main rooms. Nice and quiet for a city apartment, with persianas which darken rooms for a deep sleep, and many shops, cafes and bars are close by as well as some gorgeous sites. Many thanks to Maria and the owners.

After three weeks of rather arduous travel in Chile and Argentina’s Patagonia region, this apartment was the perfect respite for four adults. It is just as the owner described and enough space for four to each find a private corner for reading or catching up on emails. We prepared dinner in the apartment several nights during our week long stay and found the kitchen to be well equipped and several mercados nearby from which to select fresh food. Buenos Aires is a vibrant city with traffic congestion and considerable street noise. The apartment is on a quiet secure street and only a block away are ATMs and ample taxi service. An excellent choice and we will book it when we return to BuenosAires, one week is not enough to experience this wonderful city. We would highly recommend this apartment to friends and family.

Wonderful stay in Buenos Aires

We three adults rented the apartment for two weeks. This is a tastefully decorated, large and airy apartment. It is on a very desirable street, ideally located, a few blocks from Recoleta Cemetary and the Fine Arts Museum. The building is relatively new with a door attendant, elevator and is well-maintained. The apartment is in top notch condition and is managed efficiently by an agent in BA who arranges for the weekly, no-charge maid service, calls taxi services and helps out in any way needed. In summary, we thoroughly enjoyed staying in the apartment and it enhanced our sojourn in Buenos Aires..

Exceeded Expectations!

Submitted: January 30, 2012 Stayed: September 2011
First of all, this review is well overdue. We initially had planned to stay in one of the owners' other apartment, but there was a slight issue and they graciously offered up this apartment as an alternative. This was our first apartment rental and were a little hesitant, but the owner was incredibly easy to work with and very responsive.

The condo exceeded our expectations. It was incredibly quiet, immaculate, luxurious, and in a perfect location. They have ample amounts of reference information for you on hand, e.g. personal restaurant reviews, shopping suggestions, etc. This was extremely helpful as we didn't always have enough energy at the end of the day(s) to do our own research!

I can honestly say we could not have asked for anything more. Thank you for making our stay in Buenos Aires such a fantastic one!
Owner's Response: Thank you for your kind remarks. It's always a pleasure to contribute to make someone's visit to Buenos Aires an unforgettable experience. Carlos.

My family stayed in this well-appointed and maintained apartment while we attended a wedding and did touring of the city and area. Very comfortable and centrally located. Laundry and wi-fi were great. The description on VRBO was accurate. The owner was very helpful and Maria the local agent was outstanding in getting us organized and responding to requests. We would rent again.
