This charming one-bedroom apartment in the heart of Recoleta is an excellent choice for your stay in Buenos Aires. Located on one of the city's most elegant avenues, the apartment faces the back of the building and is thus, extremely quiet.

The truly special element is a private garden patio adjacent to the living room, where high walls and ambient lighting create an excellent space for dining, cocktails or answering emails. When you do head out, you'll find that the location is incredibly central. As an Argentine friend said to me, 'If you were going to put a pin on the most desired location in Buenos Aires, it would be on this apartment.' Countless shops and restaurants are right outside your door. The famed Recoleta Cemetery as well as the city's finest hotels are a few minutes walk away.

The space is both comfortable and modern. It features marble-accented bathrooms, a fully outfitted, granite finished kitchen and a large sofa area that is perfect for relaxing. The bedroom is an ensuite with a king bed and also has a small external patio. The living and dining area is spacious and huge (especially by Argentine standards!)

Recoleta is adjacent to several neighborhoods including Palermo and Plaza San Martin, both of which are a short taxi ride away.

About Virginia Lato

I design leather and fur clothing and handbags in Buenos Aires. Because of that, I am there a lot and wanted a home base for myself when I am in Buenos Aires. You will feel at home here. From the wedgwood china to the extra comfortable bed, this apartment is definitely outfitted to be the most enjoyable experience for both you and me!

Virginia Lato purchased this condo in 2005
Why Virginia Lato chose Recoleta

As one of my Argentine associates said to me, if you were putting a pin on a map of Buenos Aires, targeting the very best location, it would be my apartment. It is quiet, yet close to absolutely everything. You will walk the city from this location. The neighbourhood is thriving and alive with more restaurants and shops than you can possibly want, but safe and secure.

What makes this condo unique

People are astounded when they see the garden that is part of this apartment. Two complete walls are windows to the garden, making the whole apartment airy and open. I normally leave the doors wide open, allowing the breezes to flow through the apartment. Since we are at the back of the apartment, the most common noise is that of the birds singing.

To make it complete, the location simply cannot be beat! Restaurants and shops abound right outside the door. If you don't want to walk, taxis are easy and plentiful, while the subway is just down the street.

The apartment lived up to the description to perfection. A delightful, fabulously located place to stay. Comfortably accommodates 3 people and has all the equipment and facilities to make a real home from home experience. The patio is a sheer delight.Great assistance from the apt manager and everyone involved in the letting could not have been more helpful.

A Very Nice Apartment

5 of 5
Submitted: April 28, 2013 Stayed: April 2013
My wife and I stayed here for a week.

It's a nice one-bedroom place with a well-equipped kitchen and a garden/patio in the back. Even though it's on a major street, it's very quiet. The bed is comfortable, the bathroom is roomy, and the place is within easy walking distance of food shopping and some good restaurants.

The owner couldn't be nicer and more accommodating.

I highly recommended this apartment.

A Terrific Place

5 of 5
Submitted: April 22, 2013 Stayed: April 2013
This is a wonderful one-bedroom apartment with a garden/patio off the living room. It has a main bathroom with a nice shower, a well-equipped kitchen, and a very comfortable bed. There's a washing machine, a TV (which we never used), and a small safe.

It's in a great location, close to a number of good restaurants and a supermarket. Cabs are a snap to hail on the street on which the apartment sits. You can also walk to a lot of the city's attractions from here.

Virginia, the owner, couldn't be nicer. You really can't go wrong with this place.
Owner's Response: Thanks Kenny and Angela!
You two were incredible to deal with, so the pleasure is all mine. One of the wonderful unexpected consequences of renting this apartment has been the people who have come into my life.
Be well and thank you ever so much for sharing your joy with me.
Warm regards,
Virginia

excellent location, very comfortable apartment

My husband and I spent 3 weeks in Virginia's apartment in Recoleta. The listing description is very accurate as are the photos. The apartment is extremely well situated , we walked everywhere and only did a taxi for long distances, like the airport, or the bus depot. The property is clean and a cleaning lady comes twice a week and is excellent. Virginia was outstanding at answering emails promptly, providing information, almost a manual ,to acquaint you with the apartment and the neighbourhood. Virginia was very helpful and enthusiastic. We would highly recommend the apartment and certainly would stay again ourselves if we go back to Buenos Aires.
We enjoyed exploring all areas of Buenos Aires as it is a very diverse city. Lots of free activities too, if you know where to look for them. There are free classical music concerts every week with the BA Law school, and in addition lots of other free concerts and art programs through the various cultural centres. I simply googled free activities in BA and angloinfo Buenos Aires. Also the National Arts Museum is free on Tuesdays and the MALBA ( Latin American art) is reduced in price on Wednesdays. Both are great. The San Telmo market on Sundays on Defensa Street is amazing, and there are numerous touching political events such as the madres in Plaza de Mayo on Thursday afternoon. If you can attend a football game like we did ( we went as part of a tour and would recommend that ) it is a great experience., lots of fun. Buenos Aires is an amazing city with something for everyone.
An exceptional city , and a great location and apartment to explore from.

We agree- we too love the apartment and the location of that apartment!! It is simply a treasure that we were ever so fortunate to find.
You were a complete pleasure to deal with. Our world is better when we meet people like you!
Your extra tips for enjoying the city are perfect! We have spent a lot of time in Buenos Aires and you searched out things that I have never found. Your advice is ever so useful.
Take care and many thanks for enjoying our home in Buenos Aires.

Virginia and Don,

Caroline and I cannot say enough wonderful things about your place in Recoletta. It served us as the perfect location for all our day trips throughout BA. To both start and end our days out on the patio was truly amazing!!

It was a real treat to be able to also meet you and Don at Melo's (best in BA!!) and share stories about this wonderful city.

We are so glad we found this place and recommend it highly to anyone wanting a safe, clean and comfortable stay in BA.

All the very best,
Brian and Caroline

Owner's Response: Thanks Caroline and Brian! It was ever so much fun to actually meet you and have dinner together!!! I always knew that the nicest, most interesting people rented our apartment, but to have the opportunity to meet you, to drink champagne and malbec with you, to have dinner at Melo (I absolutely agree that it's the best!) with you and to laugh and chat til the wee hours was way too much fun. Be well and I sure hope to see you again soon....and maybe even to meet other people who rent our apartment!!
