On the whole I was satisfied and pleased with your (and Augusto's) responsiveness to my biggest needs.
Check-in and check-out at Bulnes Rio went smoothly.  You are in good hands with Augusto.

Todd - Vancouver, WA

The reservation process worked very smoothly.  I think your website is awesome and it does not contain false advertising.  Things were as you said they were.  We thought Sara was great and really helpful for check in and check out.  We thought Libertad was very clean, very nice, comfortable beds and a great location for what we wanted to do in B.A.  Our only complaint was that the noise next door was a little irritating at first.  It subsided as we stayed longer and was completely fine over the weekend.

Perfect, perfect, perfect.  We enjoyed Bulnes Rio and everything was perfect. Thank you very much!

I thought the reservation process was great....you were incredibly detail oriented and it worked really well.  The check in and check out all went very smoothly as well.

 

The stay in Libertad was great!

EVERYTHING WORKED OUT VERY WELL.
I THINK THAT YOUR WEBSITE IS EXCELLENT.
SARA & AUGUSTO WERE VERY HELPFUL, WE ASKED THEM ALL KINDS OF QUESTIONS ABOUT THE NEIGHBORHOOD, THE BUILDING, ETC.  APT SANTA FE I WAS CLEAN, EVERYTHING WORKED WELL, THE LOCATION IS GREAT AND VERY SAFE AT ALL TIMES.
WE HAD A WONDERFUL EXPERIENCE!!  WE HOPE TO GO BACK TO BUENOS AIRES AND STAY WITH YOUR COMPANY SOON!!

The reservation process was easy, any question that I had was answered quickly by e-mail or phone.


I did not know what to expect in renting an apartment for the first time.  Augusto made it at ease. His recommendation of the restaurants and things to do were helpful.  He and his wife made a great team, especially with their understanding with airline's employees travel.  I would definetly rent again with you again.  Muchas gracias!!!


Mark, you were right regarding the location of Bulnes Vista. Great!

The studios were clean and the furnitures modern.  We did not cook during our stay, however all things were there if you needed them.

Augusto was great. He was on time and willing to help. He is a big asset to the company. The cell phone was a nice touch.

We were very happy with apt Pacheco de Melo. Thank you! And Augusto was exceptionally responsible, communicative and polite.  I would definitely rent through you again and also refer people to you.

Sherry - Texas

Hi, Mark, Sorry about the delayed reply. We changed our plans a little, and we aregoing to spend most of our remaining time outside Buenos Aires, so we will not need the apartment after all. But I would like to thank you for the apartments Bulnes Plaza & The Haven we stayed at - both were extremely nice, clean,well-furnished and safe, and we enjoyed them immensely! Also, thank you for the perfect organisation - Augusto and Sarah are so kind and helpful! We will recommend Argentina Consultant.com to anyone who wants to visit Buenos Aires! Have a great day,

We enjoyed apartment Libertad very much and the neighborhood was peaceful. The management team online and in BA was friendly and helpful. Thanks again for being professional and bilingual :)

 

Scott - Bellevue, Michigan

April 16, 2010

The location of apartment The Haven was perfect for us because we had near all we needed like shoppings, stores, avenues. I loved the apartment and mainly the bed! All was perfect!
Veronica T. - Mexico 

April 14, 2010

 

Location was great, nice safe area handy to what i wanted to do.
Was very tidy when I turned up. My only problem (which is may fault) was my lack of spanish and I couldnt understand what the cleaning lady was trying to ask me so I never got my apt
Jose Hernandez cleaned. Otherwise I really enjoyed my stay!

 

Rachael S. - New Zealand

I have rented apartments in many of the major cities in Europe and "The Haven" has been by far the nicest, cleanest and most comfortable apartment. The price was a great value and location was excellent. The beds were very comfortable. Augusto, who checked us in and out was so kind. When he checked us in he gave us a run down on the apartment and a briefing of the surrounding area and sites of Buenos Aires. I would rent this apartment again.

Many Thanks,


Paula - New Mexico 

March 3, 2010

We loved the location of apartment Libertad and because of the weather while we were in Buenos Aires (it rained a good bit of the time), we spent more time in the apartment than we originally anticipated. The location gave us access to a number of good restaurants that we could walk to.

 

The apartment was in good condition and the electrical problem that we had was fixed as soon as possible.  Augusto was delightful and very helpful. We would certainly rent from Argentina Consultant.com again, should we find ourselves back in Buenos Aires.

Tilda K. - Atlanta GA 

January 22, 2010

Augusto was fantastic. He was there to meet me right on time both at check in and check out. Apartment Bulnes Rio was great and I had a wonderful time in Buenos Aires.

Mark,

We just wanted to say that we could not have been more pleased with our accommodations at The Haven. We had never been to BA before, so we were a little hesitant in booking online and not really knowing what we were doing. It was a great experience for us all.
We do plan to return again, and will certainly use your service.

We all work for a major airline and look forward to letting our workmates know how pleased we were. It was a great trip and we can't wait to go back!

Augusto,

 

Thank you so much for your kind letter.  I loved Buenos Aires and apt

Bulnes Plaza!  It is a wonderful, vibrant city.  I could have spent a month there and not done everything I wanted to do.  The food, the parks, the buildings, the fairs, the buses, the subte, the people – all awesome!

 

You made me feel welcome and I appreciate you being so accommodating with my late check out.

 

I hope to come back someday!

 

Thank you again for everything – it was a joy to meet you.

 

Ciao!

 

Patty

Hola Augusto,
 
Muchas gracias for your last E-mail. We were very touched by it. And we do understand that you have to work and are very busy. After all, estamos jubilados...
 
Our holidays in B.A. was wonderful and we thouroughly enjoyed it, thanks to you Augusto. Bulnes Plaza is in a perfect location, 24-7 security, swimming pool, balcony and the security staff was very nice as well.
 
Buenos Aires is a beautiful city with a rich history. We left your country with fond memorie.
 
We arrived home safe and sound and have been very busy with the family, particularly seing our children and grand children.
 
Give our warm regards to your wife Sara and your two beautiful children.
 
Con mucho carino.
 
Renata y Wayne - Ontario, Canada 
Dear Augusto, 
 
Thank you for being there.
 
We are looking forward to our return to Argentina - April 1st -
with friends from California who will be staying in apartment Riobamba II with us for two weeks.
 
YOUR PROFESSIONALISM IS REFRESHING.
 
Thank you again!        
 
Barbara and Norman - travelers of the world (most often by cruise ship) 

Hello Marcelo,

 

I hope all is well with you and your family in spite of the chaos we are perceivably dealing with. Thank you very much for being such a gracious host and helpful landlord of apt. Ciudad de la PazI thoroughly enjoyed our time together and look forward to more enlightening conversations in the future.

 

Best wishes,

Hi Mark,

Just a short note to let you know that Martin was a pleasure to deal with at check in and check out of apt. Riobamba I.   When we encounter good service we like to acknowledge it so Susan and I want you to know that Martin is very professional and courteous.  And in terms of good service, thank you for always responding back to my inquiries in a timely manner.

Regards,
Wayne and Susan - California

Hola Augusto,


Espero estes bien y que hayas encontrado todo bien en el apto. Te escribo para comentarte que regrese bien a Colombia. Finalmente llegue a tiempo, ademas porque el vuelo estaba retrasado, salimos cerca de las 11am. Gracias por la estadia en tu depto. Santa Fe I y obviamente los recomendare cuando sepa de amigos, familiares, colegas que visiten Buenos Aires.

Saludos,
Ricardo - Colombia

Hi Mark,


We are back from Argentina and Chile, sadly. Loved every minute of the trip. Hope to get back to BA for a month sometime in the next couple of years, and definitely will want to stay again in apartment Gutierrez. The location can’t be beat, the apartment is sunny and bright, the small building lovely. Thank you so much. Also, thank you for getting in touch with Juan on Sunday. When we returned from our day out and about, the toilet had been fixed. We really appreciate your responsiveness and will definitely recommend your site to others.

In retrospect, Palermo was absolutely the right location for us. Much better than Recoleta. We walked to Recoleta and to Palermo Viejo, and took the Subte everywhere else. In Washington, we live by the zoo so it felt “normal.” And such a lovely neighborhood. Much more our style than Recoleta.

Thanks again.

Lorri and Russ

Mark,

I had the most wonderful time of my life. I left my heart in Buenos Aires. My friend and I enjoyed the apartment so much. The apartment was perfect and in a perfect location. We were able to walk everywhere we wanted or take a taxis or the subway.

 

I met many wonderful people, even had mate with the fellow at the laundry where we took our clothes. I loved the food! La Madeleine and El Cisne are both fine restaurants and we ate there often.

The parks and the beauty of the city architecture are beyond description. As an artist I was overwhelmed. Buenos Aires is a city I could return to every year. I can't tell you how much I enjoyed the city and its people and culture.

Thank you so much for all the arrangements you made. I was a little nervous about everything but it was all planned so well. Thank you. There is no question that I will recommend your service to anyone going to Buenos Aires.

Again, thank you.

 

Linda - San Diego, CA

hi mark,

 

i fell in love with argentina and cannot wait to return.  keep in touch---sorry i did not get by to see any of your rentals, this first trip was a chance for me to get "the lay of the land" as they say.  in the meantime, three friends have asked me about recommendations for BA and I would be happy to refer them to your company, as well as another one I rented a small apt from for a week in Recoleta.

 

Leslie, Santa Barbara

 Hi Mark,

Just wanted you to know that we loved apartment Gutierrez in Buenos Aires. We are thinking of returning for a prolonged stay at the end of this year or early 2009 if it is available.

By the way, we had to leave for the airport before Sara came to inspect the apartment and return our deposit. We left our address with her so that she could send the money. Would you check to be sure she got the message and all is okay.

Thanks again for our lovely stay.

Kathy and Roger

Hello Mark,

 
Thank you so much for checking back. We had the

most wonderful time, we are in love with it and the

Palermo Hollywood Lofts were fantastic. We ended up losing our passports and they were very helpful. The staff was amazing.

We are definitely going back.

Thanks again,

 
Anna – New York

Hey Mark,

Thanks for all your help. You made it very easy!

I will touch base with you again a week or two

before I leave so that you can charge the security deposit to my credit card. I would also be interested

in ground transportation from the airport to 

apartment Pacheco de Melo.

Thanks again,


Robert - Chicago, IL.

I just came back from B.A. and Bariloche 5 and 4 days on each destination. It was an excellent time in Argentina....my family is very happy to visited Argentina. We want to go back next year...!!!!! I miss Bariloche...beautiful!!!!!

Rented 2 bedroom apartment in Belgrano B.A. from www.argentinaconsultant.com great service from Mark and August very professional and took care on every detail. Great location at very nice part of town, a little bit far from downtown but not big deal with a Radio Taxi and the "subte". Great food ("Siga la Vaca" rules!!!!) and very nice people.

August 14, 2010

Mark, Thanks for your hospitality and my thanks to Augusto & Sara as well. My stay at The Haven went very well, a few minor matters needed attention, but the place was quite nice and I enjoyed the visit. You are reliable and straightforward. I don't think you've got any competition in Bs.As. in this regard.  I've rented from you I believe 4 times and have come to feel confident of your honesty and dependability. These are important qualities not so common in Buenos Aires. Augusto does an excellent job. The Haven is an appealing apartment. Bathroom could use a bit of an upgrade, I'd say. My Best,

Thank you so much for help and prompt replies! I did enjoy the Bulnes Plaza apartment a lot.  It was a great area and I felt very safe there.  I will definitely find you again when I am back to Buenos Aires or refer you to friends.

The apartment Santa Fe I was wonderful. It was perfectly located for my needs, and I enjoyed the view as Argentina won the first few games during the world cup. I'm glad I wasn't there for the game with Germany. It became a sad day for me, as well. Also, Augusto and his wife were absolutely wonderful to work with. They were professional, friendly, and graciously helpful in answering all of my questions and helping out with any of my needs. I hope someday to work with them again on another trip to Buenos Aires.

It was a really pleasent stay in apt. Larrea.
Very nice and helpful people working in the house as well!
Me and my friends really liked the apartment a lot.
It is very sunny, bright, clean, modern, has a good matress and sofa good to sleep as well.
Last but not least I enjoyed yours and Mark's service, the immediate assistance what - or whenever requested and knowing I could contact you for whatever problem.

Me gustó mucho el departamento Bulnes Plaza  es igual que las fotos de internet. La cocina y el baño están muy bien y el lugar es buenisimo, lo único que me desagrado un poco es que las sabanas de abajo se safaban del colchon al acostarse, se necesitan sabanas nuevas. Pero aparte de eso todo estuvo perfecto.

Me parecio muy bien todo, desde la decoración hasta el lugar.  Sin duda la proxima vez que vaya a Buenos Aires, volvería a rentar un departamento ahi. Todos fueron muy amables. Y es muy agradable llegar después de un largo día, a un lugar tan lindo y cómodo.

Hi Mark, Augusto, 


I'm leaving Ciudad de la Paz apartment today, after living here during March.  And as I spent a great month I wanted to share it with you. The apartment is very comfortable, is lovely furnished and very well kept, the same as the other facilities in the building (swimming pool, terrace, etc).
 
Marcelo, the owner of the apartment, is really nice, he was the best of the landlords and was always concerned about what I may need.

For those who wants to be in Belgrano area I really recommend Ciudad de la Paz apartment.

Regarding argentina consultant I also had a very good experience, everything was according to planned and expected. 

Thanks and best regards.

Bulnes Parque was very clean and well equiped. could have used a few more cooking utensils. Security people in building were very nice and willing to help. I really appreciated how well maintained all of the areas were: elevator, pool area, lobby - all were clean and welcoming.

I forgot where Augusto said that the gym was. some written info in apartment would have been helpful. Augusto was helpful and offered his contact number if we had any problems. I appreciated being able to communicate in English all through this process since my Spanish is so limited.

The thing that I probably appreciated the most - having a cell phone, while I was there. This was very thoughtful and helpful.

This is all. loved my stay. thank you for making it so convenient and pleasant. will definitely recommend to my friends and family coming to Buenos Aires.

Great experience renting Baez II in Buenos Aires. Totally easy, fast and reliable. Big thank you to Augusto. He's been totally friendly and helpful.

About the apartment: elegant, sunny and spacious. However: no washing machine - which was a bit of surprise at the check in, but luckily there is a laundry service 30 meters away. A kettle would be nice for tea lovers. Quite a walk to the subway station, however taxi is really cheap and always abundant at any street.

Overall, good option for a two week stay.

You guys (Mark/Augusto) are Great! We really had the best time ever on a vacation and you two are a big reason why. We were in a bind when we arrived and you helped us out Big time. Also letting us back in apt Bulnes Rio on Friday night was ever so helpful;) The location was great, right near Alto Palermo mall.

Hi Mark:  Hope you are well.  I just returned home to the States yesterday and wanted to thank you for your assistance with my accommodation needs during my time in Buenos Aires. 

 

In particular, I wanted to compliment the staff at Palermo Hollywood Lofts for their professionalism and consistent willingness to assist me and my traveling companions with our various needs.  In my travels, I have rarely come across an operation as responsive and professional as yours. 

 

Lastly, I was impressed by the quality of the properties of yours which I saw or stayed at and will be sure to recommend them to my many colleagues who also love to travel. 

 

Best regards, Pierson S.

Augusto,

 

How nice to receive your email...we also thank you for making our time in Buenos Aires easier and enjoyable with a nice apartment Bulnes Plaza! Next time we'll spend time together, but maybe it is your turn to come to Tucson and let us show you our city this time.
 
Our son has gone to Bariloche and is loving it.  Unfortunately his program at the hospital has been cancelled because of the flu, so he will probably go to Uruguay for a few days.  

 
Thanks again for your hospitality and for making our stay easier.  We hope to see you again.  Regards to Sara.

Hi Mark, Augusto,

We just wanted to follow up and say how much we enjoyed our stay at the apartment Bulnes Plaza.

Thanks for the great service and we will certainly pass on recommendations to our friends.

Augusto, It was nice of you to bring over the Hair Dryer for Tina and the seating for the balcony.

We would be glad to provide a customer testimonial if you'd like.

All the best, we hope to be back to BA really soon :-)

Mark:
I like to thank you, our stay at Riobamba I the apartment was wonderful.
I'm now in Viña del Mar, Chile and my wife called me a couple of days ago, she told me that she left a pair shoes at the apartment.
Can you please check to see if the shoes are there?
A pair of black woman shoes.
If are found I can go to the building and pick them up.
I'm going to be in Buenos Aires from the 13th to the 16th.
Thank you again for your attention.
Best Regards,
Luis

 
Hi Augusto
We did make it home and have cool weather but its nice to be home.
 
We just want to thank you for your help and professionalism with our check in and out at apt. Corrientes we will surely recommend you to friends.
 
Thanks again
Debbie and Sonny

Augusto-
Thanks so much for yesterday. It was great to drop our things off

at Bulnes Rio for a number of hours and enjoy the city one last time. We will be back sometime! If you are ever asked for references please feel free to give my name/email.
Thanks again,
Melissa

Hey Mark,

Thanks for apartment Soler. Everything worked out great. I was just wondering if I could get a little information from you about buying apartments in BA as a foreigner. My brother in law is interested. Can you take loans down here? What are property taxes like and other fees? Thanks a lot Mark!

Brett

Hi Mark,

Thanks again for all your help. I think this is a great location and a nice apartment. We've already recommended to our friends who are coming later in the year as well as a coworker who is coming the last week of the month. By the way, do you have availability 25 May - 5 June? They are booked at a hotel, but can cancel if it's free. They may have already emailed you.

Just wanted to confirm we can still stay here at the Apartment until the car picks us up for the airport at 16:00 tomorrow (Saturday.)

Your staff was helpful when we checked in and everything went well.

By the way, our best meal was definitely Sirop on Vte. Lopez 1661. They were very friendly, comfortable, excellent food and a great wine list.

Kind Regards, Dan~
  

Hi Mark,

Sorry for my delayed reply. I've been inundated with work and taxes! A rude awakening after a lovely vacation.

 

We had a fantastic time in Buenos Aires. I was very impressed with how friendly and open people were to us; they were incredibly patient hosts with tourists who speak only rudimentary Spanish:-) Cab drivers would give us information as if they were tour guides, recommending restaurants and pointing out beautiful buildings.

 

The food (despite the embargo into the city) was top notch. Our favorite Italian places were I Due Ladroni on Fitzroy and Bella Italia. I was partial to Lo de Jesus (not quite sure of the name), as well.

 

We basically spent each day wandering a different part of the sitting, relaxing in cafes, checking out stores. I was disappointed that the Teatro Colon was closed for remodeling, so we'll have to return someday. We went to a River Plate soccer game (sadly 0-0) and took the Boca Juniors stadium tour - a definite highlight. We already are thinking about returning in the fall, we enjoyed it so much.

The Palermo Hollywood Lofts were perfect. We were impressed with the apartment's size! It was nice to have the flexibility of an apartment with the amenities of a hotel. We loved the breakfasts in the cafe across the street.


The staff was great, and my only comment would be that there were so many people working the desk at different times that it was hard to get to know anyone. One other tiny recommendation: a larger mirror somewhere would be a great help.

It was a fantastic stay, and we would go again in a heartbeat. Thanks for helping us with it!

Best,
Kristen

Mark -- we did have a great trip. Buenos Aires is a terrific city, I have been telling my friends that it is like New York with Miami's weather. We spent a lot of time walking around, and we enjoyed the diversity of the neighborhoods, the different restaurants and shops, and the different feel in the different areas.

 
The area around Palermo Hollywood is, of course, clearly an evolving area. Reminded me of the Pearl area in Portland. The number of restaurants and bars within walking distance was staggering.

 

Recoleta was beautiful and upscale. Murillo was more middle class, and normal feeling to us. The downtown areas were full of those things that a big city has. San Telmo was a lot of fun.

 

We went to a synagogue on Friday nite during our stay, and met some wonderful folks, even got invited to a family home for dinner. We enjoyed a soccer game, and a nite at a Milonga. All in all, Buenos Aires lived up to all our expectations.

 

Re: the hotel, Palermo Hollywood Lofts, nice set up, great location, very helpful staff, very spacious living arrangements. A good product for the price. The bed and linens were nice and comfortable.

Hi Mark,

Just a note to say that we enjoyed staying in Los Galgos very much. A beautiful place, and a beautiful location.
