Recoleta with History and Elegance (2,200 sq feet) 3 Bedroom* 3.5 Bathrooms*

Relive the history of Buenos Aires only 5 blocks from today’s Recoleta village. In 1894, when the country of Argentina was one of the wealthiest in the world with strong European ties, a Frenchman built this elegant residence on Calle Juncal. You can still feel the old world ambiance in the building’s beautiful church-like façade, tall ceilings, and architectural features, but you can also enjoy modern conveniences like a renovated 'American style' kitchen. This large three bedroom apartment (over 200 square meters or 2,200 square feet) has a large master suite with king size bed, walk-in closet and separate bath, shower and toilet areas. There is a second smaller loft bedroom (with 2 deluxe twin beds that can be converted into a super comfy King size on request) with its own bathroom with shower.

Importantly in a noisy bustling city like Buenos Aires, all the bedrooms are at the rear of the apartment facing into a common area courtyard, not the street.

An office/study with desk, broadband internet access and wi-fi connection is tucked into a loft with skylight off the master bedroom. (There is also a very small bedroom (with bed slightly smaller than a twin) and bath in what was formerly the maid’s quarters which could accommodate a 5th person for a brief stay but only on request as it is normally kept locked.) Recently renovated by the same architect who did the Art Hotel, the apartment features 15 foot ceilings in the living and dining areas and master bedroom. The apartment also contains many antiques and features art work by several local artists which we encourage you to discover and enjoy as much as we have. With each trip we make, we add to our collection of Argentine art in the apartment.

The apartment has its own private, elegant entrance with marble stairs up to the second floor (considered the 1st floor in Argentina - but there is NO elevator). World class restaurants, cafes, and gourmet grocery and wine shops are all in the neighborhood and within easy walking distance. Two blocks away you can enjoy the café lined Plaza Mitre for an early morning coffee before setting out into one of the most walkable cities in the world; three blocks in the other direction, you’ll find a Metro stop on Avenida Santa Fe. And with the apartment's central location in the city, everything Buenos Aires has to offer is a short taxi ride away.

Please note on some days when we have a guest checking in and out on the same day, the maid will not always finish the cleaning until 4pm, but you may checkin earlier on this understanding. If your going to arrive overnight between 6pm and 8am you need to have booked the extra night in advance and you will need to pay the concierge a check in fee of us$100 in cash on arrival. The apartment staff all leave normal family lives and this covers their overtime and expense at those hours. You pay out in usd$ cash 100/50 notes on arrival to the concierge who checks you in.

Normal check in Mon thru Friday is 2pm to 6pm and there is no extra charge. Weekends 6pm Friday to 8am Monday or public holidays incur the usd$100 ask out check in fee also.

Bookings are not confirmed until the deposit has been received. For stays of 14 days minimum an interim maid service is included to clean the apartment and change linen (unless otherwise stipulated).

Great apartment in an excellent location
We made a great choice of this apartment for our weeklong trip in Buenos Aires. The neighborhood had plenty of great cafes, panaderias, and restaurants, and we always felt safe. Located either walking distance or a quick Uber/cab to just about anything you'd want to do in the city. The property manager, Federico, did a great job making sure we got in okay and took care of any other needs or questions we had. We had a great experience. Highly recommended.

Great location in a comfortable apartment
The apartment is in an older building that shows its age but is commodious, clean and comfortable. Federico the concierge speaks excellent English and is extremely helpful and pleasant. It is a great place for a couple but the second bedroom is up a steep staircase with a low ceiling. Neighborhood feels safe with multiple dining options

We really enjoyed our stay in this property. It’s a gorgeous apartment, and we felt right at home in the neighborhood. We walked all over the city to experience BA authentically and felt very safe.

YOU MUST STAY HERE!
It was our first visit to Buenos Aires and we feel so fortunate to have found such a beautiful property. In a word MAGICAL! From beginning to end we had a great experience with the owner and the host. So helpful and thorough so there were no surprises during our stay. Federico was there for us to answer all of our questions from the minute we arrived to the time we left. This gorgeous residence is right next to the most lovely little pastry shop, near coffee shops and quaint little restaurants. It is just around the corner from a supermarket and right where you want to be located if you are exploring the city. If you are looking at where you want to stay during your visit to the area, we cannot recommend this home enough!!

Classic Argentina in a great central location!
Elegant and historic apartment in the heart of the city. Very spacious, full of light, and with french balconies to take the city in! The host and his partners were very available to us during the entire stay, making checking in, checking out, and anything in between seamless.

Fabulous apartment in a lovely neighborhood!
We just left from our stay in Buenos Aires and our family of 4 just loved the apartment and this city!! The apartment has great character, in a lovely neighborhood where we could walk to cafes and wonderful restaurants! We have two younger boys—7 and 10–and the amount of space was perfect for our family! We would stay here again in heartbeat. Hamish is a great communicator and we felt perfectly at home in our first time to Argentina! Miss BA already!

Paradise in Buenos Aires
The apartment was exactly as pictured. It was exquisite, living up to an apartment in the “Paris of South America,” exuding elegance with beautiful high ceilings. We felt we were “living the life!” It was very spacious and filled with all the amenities. Just steps outside were a bakery, a wine shop, a corner market, a fruit store, a grocery store, restaurants and fabulous empanadas!!! Federico, the concierge, is a true treasure. He answered all of our questions & more. We miss him already. Thank you Hamish for all that you provided. Our trip to Argentina was perfect.
