MINIMUM RENTAL: 3 NIGHTS
This magnificent loft was recently featured on the cover of the Argentine architecture magazine, Para Ti Deco, and is superbly located at the heart of Palermo Viejo (Palermo Soho). Literally no expense has been spared converting this space into one of the best apartments in all of Buenos Aires.
Built in 1905 and originally used as a shoe factory, this loft space was gutted and professionally rebuilt with a design blending Japanese minimalism and local architecture from the barrio. The 1000 foot living area has been impeccably furnished with a 10 foot Italian sofa and a professionally restored 1911 Steinway O piano. The 18 foot wide sunken kitchen is a culinary dream featuring Carrera marble and the finest Italian appliances. There are two full bedrooms with the best bedding available, two full bathrooms including a jacuzzi in the bathroom upstairs, and a state-of-the-art front projection home theatre in the living area upstairs. The loft has wired and wireless high-speed internet access and an internet phone for free calling to the US or Canada. There are two local cellular phones for use around the city.
Just outside the 3 huge sliding glass doors leading into the loft there’s a patio/deck with a pond, running water and a hammock. Step out the front door and you’ll find an unbelievable selection of restaurants, cafes clothing stores, boutiques, bookstores and art workshops/galleries lining the cobblestone streets and elegantly blending into the community. (You can find listings and reviews of Argentine restaurants at www.guiaoleo.com.ar). On weekends, both locals and tourists alike flock to the neighborhood to shop, dine and attend the weekend art fair located at the neighborhood focal point - Plaza Cortazar (Plaza Serrano) - located one half block away from the loft. And if your interest is tango, you’ll find two world famous tango salons, La Viruta and Salon Canning, within five blocks of the loft.
This ultra-quiet luxury loft is perfect for travelers seeking a exclusive retreat while residing in the center of, arguably, the best overall area for shopping, dining and culture in the city. It’s a wonderful alternative to staying in a hotel, and considering what you’d pay at a hotel for the quality, convenience and location, it’s also a bargain.
