About this apartment rental
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. This is Recoleta at its best. The new and modern underground metro station Las Heras, at just one block from the apartment, can take you anywhere in Buenos Aires for just 30 cents of a US dollar.
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 and wireless Internet.
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. (Note: Our promotional discounted rate is based on two-passenger occupancy; there is a supplement for larger parties).

The apartment is very spacious and plenty of room for 4 adults. The mechanical window blinds were nice in order to keep the heat out during the day. It's located a short walk to many popular sites, one of the hop on / off bus stops, many restaurants, shops, the every weekend art / crafts festival, etc. Maria was a wonderful hostess who was very responsive to requests / inquiries, and provided a thorough tour of the apartment upon arrival. My group only used the fridge for the 3+ days we were there, so can't speak to it other than to say it is well equipped with whatever you would need. Would definitely stay there on a return trip!

This apartment is very spacious,comfortable, and light filled. The building is located on a quietish area of Recoleta and is very secure. We had 3 adults staying and the convenience of the apartment and ease of use was superb.

We had a great experience staying at this apartment. The master bedroom and second bedroom with two beds were large and really comfortable. The third bedroom is small and more out of the way but has an attached bathroom. Check in and check out were great experiences. There is a place to exchange money by the cemetery and lots of places to eat and buy groceries close by. The street felt safe at night. The wifi did not reach the second and third bedrooms easily but was strong in the living room. We would definitely stay here again.

Great location. Great communication/check-in process. Lovely place.
4.9
The apartment is very spacious, with a large living room, and a desk with ergonomic chair (I used daily to edit photos on my laptop). All the furniture was clean and comfortable.
Great area – quiet, close to parks, the famous cemetery, and shops. The major supermarket Carrefour is a 15 minute walk on Vicente Lopez while the “express” version is 5 minutes away. Also on Vicente Lopez is a large indoor shopping mall, and the amazing leather shop Uru.
Other pros:
- A/C in living room and master bedroom work well
- Beds were very comfortable
- Never heard neighbors – quiet nights
Cons:
- Only one bedroom has A/C, so in the BA summer season, bedrooms 2&3 can be too hot
- Minimal amounts of some supplies on hand – we were there for about 10 days and ran out of napkins on maybe the third day
- Access to bedroom #3 is through the kitchen and was once a maid’s quarters. It’s somewhat separate from the rest of the living space. It wouldn’t be suitable for small children – although a preteen/ teen would probably enjoy their own space.
Would we stay there again? I think we would – but not during their summer season. Some days were very hot and humid. Having experienced a wide range of accommodations, when using VRBO, we have found that seldom is everything perfect. But this apartment has a lot going for it.

A lovely stay in Buenos Aires
Great location, lovely apartment. Host was very responsive and easy to communicate with. We would recommend this apartment. Longer stays might require laundering and the washer is not what you might expect if you’re from the US. However, all the other positives made up for this short coming. If I had it to do over, I’d have laundry service.

This is a great property with 3 bedroons and 3 baths. Very confortable for a family of 5. Building has some yesrs but the apartment has been maintained and is very clean. It has all appliances needed to cook and do laundry.
Property manager was very responsive and helped with check-in and check-out. Mery also helped providing great advise for trabsportation, restaurants and other.

Gorgeous apartment in an amazing neighborhood
My husband and 10 year old daughter and I stayed at this property in early March. We had a wonderful experience. The building itself is very clean and safe, and the elevator door opens directly to the apartment so there is very little shared space for those with COVID concerns. The apartment is gorgeous. The owner has impeccable taste and it includes everything you need for a comfortable stay. We were pleasantly surprised that the apartment is very spacious and the beds were very comfortable as well. It is in a quiet street that nevertheless is within one block of everything you could need- a subway line, parks, shopping, great restaurants, grocery stores, etc. A car is not needed but for those who are driving, free parking is pretty easily accessible on nearby side streets and garages are plentiful. We had a fabulous stay in Buenos Aires thanks to the comfort and convenience of this property!

Beautiful apartment in an excellent location! Owners and property manager were fantastic.
We stayed for one week and used this apartment as a base to explore all of Buenos Aires. All the comforts: WiFi, tv, washing machine, AC, full kitchen. Subway is across the street. Walking distance to key sights, great restaurants, and shops. Carlos and Alex were attentive and very organized, and Maria (property manager) was thorough and patient in explaining everything to us. Three bedrooms and three baths (one is smaller and “maid’s room”) allowed us to spread out and feel comfortable. Highly recommended!!

Beautifully located apartment - quiet.
We enjoyed staying in the apartment very much. It comfortably accommodated five adults and is located near many restaurants, shops and museums. Carlos was a pleasure to work with; responding immediately to questions and anticipating in advance, information we might find useful for our stay. Buenos Aires is a beautiful city with much to see and explore. We recommend this delightful place to others.

We were 5 adults staying at this apartment after our cruise and we spent 4 nights here. The apartment had plenty of room and all the comforts of home. The cemetery, cafes, shopping and weekend craft market are a short walk away. I would highly recommend this apartment for anyone wanting a roomy, safe place to stay in beautiful Recoleta. Many thanks to Carlos, Alex and Maria for being so helpful to us.

My 2nd stay at this wonderful apartment was even better. As promised, Carlos had a bottle of Malbec waiting for me. Maria the manger was wonderful and helpful as ever!! I am a man, traveling with 2 women. The 3 bathrooms were very much appreciated. The place is perfectly located. Close to all, plenty of cabs available if you don't walk. But it is very quiet and peaceful if you just want to relax. Maria recommended a bicycle tour which we loved. You get to see places you never would get to on your own. 4 hours with plenty of stops and lunch on your own in La Boca. (Don't miss it...Go on your own if not by bike) Make sure you visit the Cemetery (just a few blocks from the apartment!) Go to a Tango show! (Maria can help with that too!) Have a Parilla lunch or dinner. Take a day trip to Uruguay. Enjoy the great City and people of B.A. and make this apartment your base and a grand place to come home to at any time!!

Before I rented this property I had so many questions and they were ALL answered by owner and manager. We were looking for a place to unwind after a day out in the city and this was IT. 3 bedrooms and 3 baths with plenty of room for 5 adults .Maria was their to greet us upon arrival and with lots of information. Buenos Aires is a big city, overwhelming at times so no matter where you rent you will need to cab it or use their public transportation. This apartment is located in a quite and safe neighborhood with a concierge on hand. There are plenty of restaurants within walking distance. The only thing I would recommend to management is to replace the pillows on the beds. We had people traveling from USA and Chile and we all love it. Definitely will recommended.

This is a great apartment for a family or even 2 couples. It's very conveniently located in the heart of city on a quiet street. Maria is a doll - welcoming, warm, fluent in English and a great help! It was nice to have 3 full bathrooms, although the 3rd bedroom is quite small. The apartment is very clean and everything was in good working order. The kitchen is fully stocked, so you can cook (even just breakfast) easily. BUT be sure to head out for Argentine's famous steak for dinner!

Excellent location, value & amenities
This apartment/ flat is an excellent value with superb amenities/decor and located in a safe and affluent part of Buenos Aires. I thoroughly enjoyed my stay in Buenos Aires, loved the apartment and the wonderful service and assistance provided by the owners Carlos & Alex and Maria, on-site office administrator. Everyone was so helpful in providing good advice and suggestions on what to see and do in Buenos Aires. More importantly, Carlos, Alex and Maria are a real pleasure conducting business with and are extremely professional, polite and good people. The next time I travel to Buenos Aires, I would definitely like to reserve the flat again. It truly is a home away from home. Thank you Carlos, Alex and Maria for your kind hospitality!

Perfect location; well kept; helpful owner
We went to BA to pick up our daughter who was finishing a semester abroad at the University of Palermo. As long time VRBO users, we spent days looking for the best value - and think we found it! This apartment is perfectly situated on a nice side street very close to the Cemetery, the weekend markets, restaurants, and the main streets to catch buses, cabs, etc. The apartment itself was perfect for 5 people - doable with a 6th for a few nights. Carlos (the owner) was very responsive and Maria (his local manager) equally as so. From check in, to mid week touching base, cleaning, and check out - this was a great value in the perfect location and we would stay again. Thank you!

Houston traveller
Our daughter, who was studying in Montevideo, had a week off, so we decided to meet her and her boyfriend for a week in Buenos Aires. The owner of this apartment was very flexible with our arrangements so our daughter could come 1 day earlier than us.
The apartment is well-located in an excellent neighborhood. We did have to take the small elevator twice to get all of us up to the 7th floor.
Having the walk-around space of an apartment and the ability to prepare some meals, plus free wireless, makes this option so much better than using multiple rooms in a hotel.
Not too fancy, but all is in good working order, which I guess is already a good thing for B.A. (this was our first time). Definitely recommended to stay here!

Wonderfully apartment!
We were so thrilled with this apartment for so many reasons. We were a group of 5 and it was so wonderful to have three bedrooms and three bathrooms. I found the price very reasonable and there were lots of amenities such as wi-fi, a local cell phone, laundry and a fairly well stocked kitchen. The location is great and we found we could walk to Palermo and even downtown, though it was a long walk. Museums and the Recoleta Cemetery are close by. I appreciated all the helpful advice left by the owners, such as restaurant recommendations and info about taxis. When traveling, it is so nice to be able to stretch out and have personal space, which doesn't happen in a hotel and this apartment is very spacious. It is a secure building with a very friendly doorman.

Exquisite Warm Home!
This home is absolutely beautiful! It is bright and in immaculate condition, affording all the comfort and luxury that a home could offer. The building is located on a quaint cobblestone street with a ton of restaurant and tasty shops nearby in the heart of Recoleta. It truly made our vacation that much more enjoyable for some of the more quiet days when you just wanted to sit at home with a cafe on the balcony overlooking the city.

Gelly y Obes Stay
This was our first visit to Buenos Aires. After many hours of traveling (from the USA and Brazil) it was great to arrive at this beautifully-maintained apartment. Everything was just as described and depicted on the website: the bedrooms were spacious and comfortable with plenty of closet space, the bathrooms were large, the living-dining-studio area was very cozy, and the balcony provided lots of light. The apartment had plenty of heating (something to appreciate in winter days and even more than we are used to) and lots of hot water!! The owners (Carlos & Alex) and their manager (Maria) shared with us lots of information, more than we could even use: about restaurants, taxi, safety, money exchange and information about the neighborhood. The apartment also had lots of books and write-ups about Buenos Aires and Argentina. The location of the apartment was perfect for us, in a quiet street with easy access to the entire city. We walked everywhere, day and night, and felt safe arriving late at night to the apartment.
We wished we had had more time to "hang out" at the apartment. We had sunny and lovely winter days and spent most of the time out, enjoying the city. We will be happy to recommend this apartment to friends and family. We would love to go back for a longer stay.
Recommendations: Do not miss the Teatro Colon, go for a tour and try to see a performance (any!!). If
you want to get tickets to any of the theaters, try to get them ahead of time. Buenos Aires has one gluten-free restaurant, Sintaxis (Palermo). La Querencia (Recoleta) is a cozy neighborhood restaurant with several gluten-free options.

Beautiful, well-designed, home away from home
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.

The perfect location -- Recoleta's best kept secret
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..

Wonderful Two-Week Stay (Nov 2011)
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.

Beautiful Apartment with lots of space

Restaurants, groceries, bank and more within 1 block as well the famous Recoleta Cemetary. Well maintained and the apartment manager Maria is incredibly gracious and helpful. Would stay here again!!
