Photos and Description of the Palermo vacation apartment rental
Luxury studio, 1 queen Murphy bed, 1 full bathroom, sleeps 2

The Humboldt Studio is a luxury studio apartment in the trendy Palermo Hollywood neighborhood of Buenos Aires, Argentina. No expense was spared in furnishing this apartment, from the high-end rug to the custom-built Murphy bed (cama rebatible). The Humboldt Studio has every amenity for your stay in Buenos Aires.

The apartment is less than one block to the subway and walking distance to some of the best restaurants and bars in Buenos Aires. Palermo Hollywood is a trendy new neighborhood, and a central starting point for all your adventures.

I'm an American expat living and working in Buenos Aires. I will meet you at the apartment when your flight arrives, get you checked in, explain the apartment amenities and give you a quick overview of the neighborhood. I can also answer any questions you may have about the city, tours, dining, nightlife, language, etc. Since we live close by, we're available to help with any problems or even store your luggage if needed.

Why Dave McComb chose Palermo

This is a beautiful studio apartment located less than one block to the subway. After searching for apartments for awhile, we knew this was the one as soon as we saw it. We added a lot of personal touches and custom furniture and furnishings to make it as comfortable as possible.

Never been in Argentina before and coming to a country that you never been before can add stress to any traveler. I was coming out of Brazil and had some problems clearing customs. I lost some documentation. I finally found my documents and away I was to one of my best vacations ever. After arriving at the apartment Dave brother-in-law, Andres was waiting with a welcome basket that included wine, bananas, apples and some sweets. I was at ease with this apartment. It had everything you will ever need in when you are on vacation. It is home away from home. Andres was even willing to exchange some of my U.S. Dollars at the Blue Market Rate! This was extremely helpful. The pictures of the apartment are exactly what you are getting when you arrive at this apartment. Internet connection. There is even a cell phone to use just buy the sim card and start calling. The programming with the cable was varied between Spanish and English. The remote had a feature called SAP where you could switch between languages on most networks. The apartment is situated in Palermo. It is one of the safest areas of Buenos Aires, with quick access to the main avenue for all of your transportation needs. There are plenty of restaurants and stores to shop. I will have no reservation to stay here in this hidden gem in Buenos Aires. Thank You Dave and especially Andres for all of your help.

Fantastic Apartment in Buenos Aires

My wife and I spent a week at the Humboldt Studio in August. Our stay could not have been better. The studio apartment is in an ideal location just a few blocks from the Palermo Subte station and Santa Fe bus artery as well as the Palermo Hollywood and Palermo Soho dining options. We opted to walk to most of the rest of the city, which is certainly feasible from Humboldt street.

The amenities inside the apartment are everything that you could ask for and the balcony is a really nice added feature. The pictures accurately portray what you can expect from the Humboldt Studio.

Dave's brother-in-law, Andy, took care of us while we were in Buenos Aires including a really informative welcome package. We would definitely stay again on future visits to Buenos Aires.

Great location and neighborhood!

My brother and I went to Buenos Aires for 2 weeks and stayed at Dave's Palermo studio. The location is excellent, super close to a lot of buses and the train (subte) station. The neighborhood is also full of great restaurants and bars that are within walking distance as well. The apartment itself is ideal for two people. Very cozy and spacious for a studio. The furniture, appliances and amenities are in excellent conditions. The balcony was our favorite part! The building is also secure and we felt safe the entire time. On top of all this, the service that Dave provided was EXCELLENT. We were greeted by his brother-in-law, Andres, and he took great care of us the entire time we were there, checking in, offering recommendations, etc. Overall, a great great great experience and I'd definitely recommend it! I'd definitely stay there again :) Saludos Dave y Andres!

Fantastic apartment in great location!

This apartment is fantastic! You get a lot of bang for your buck. The location is unbeatable. There are a ton of great restaurants within a 5 minute walk. Palermo Soho is a 10 minute walk. The area is very safe feeling. Best of all is the apartment's close proximity to the subway, which allows you easy access to the entire city. Best of all is dealing with Dave. He was always available throughout the month that we stayed there. He is a genuinely nice guy. If you have a question about the city, he will have an answer for you. Combine a cool landlord with a friendly guide and that's Dave.

The Buenos Aires Good Life

I lived in this apartment for three months and can assure you it's a great value. The apartment has all-around quality, maximizes space and is centrally located. As far as the apartment itself goes, my favorite feature was the space-saving murphy bed. It was very comfortable and sleep was just as good my bed at home. The apartment has plenty of storage space and is furnished with everything you need from kitchenware to textiles. Plus, the in-unit washer was a huge convenience. The air conditioning worked like a gem, and TV and Internet reception was extremely reliable. Oh, and the wine shop on the first floor is a bonus.

The location of the apartment in Palermo Hollywood is perfect and in a safe neighborhood. I frequently used the subway, which is just a couple blocks away. If you prefer taking the bus, there are many routes nearby. Cab rides can quickly take you to your destination at a very affordable rate. And, I walked to most places, whether it was to parks and tourist destinations, grocery and retail stores, "restaurant row" on the next street over (Fitz Roy), or to the many bars and clubs in neighboring Palermo SoHo. It is ideally located near, but not in the middle of everything happening. As a result, the apartment is a quiet, calm and peaceful haven.

Another thing that made my experience at the apartment so enjoyable was the kind and hospitable owner who is very helpful and full of suggestions to make the most of your time in Buenos Aires. And, I must add that your trip will be incomplete without doing these two things: 1) eating empanadas just a block and a half away at La Pascana (Paraguay & Humboldt), and 2) eating the very best steak at La Cabrera, which is close by in Palermo SoHo (Cabrera & Thames).

This apartment is a sure winner! I'm excited for you!
