Recoleta Apartment Reviews June 10, 2011
Our visit as tourists for 30 days greatly benefited from the excellent location of apt Riobamba II. Several excellent restaurants and grocery stores were within easy walking distance from the apartment.
Visiting popular tourist sights took just a short taxi ride. Very convenient!
It was easy to get a taxi right by the front door of Riobamba II. The taxis were safe and inexpensive.
The apartment management is business-like and professional. Mark, Sara and Augusto were very friendly and did everything to make us feel welcome and comfortable. We appreciated them arranging our transportation to and from EZE; it was on-time, easy and worry-free. Checking in and checking out was quick and efficient with a nice orientation to the apartment and the area. We felt secure knowing that if we needed help, we could easily contact someone by phone call or email. José, the building supervisor, was friendly and helpful to us, as well.
We appreciated several features of Riobamba II: very comfortable beds, quiet, the room darkening shutters in the bedrooms (even a light sleeper would sleep well here!), having a secure safe, plenty of closet space, and great collection of travel books and guides. Having access to WI-FI was valuable keeping us in touch back home, and we used the internet for maps and information pertaining to Buenos Aires--like having our own personal concierge. Internet made it easy to be away for 30 days.
Our stay was very enjoyable, and we want to return next year. Sara recommended several restaurants, and every one we tried was excellent. Our favorite restaurant was La Querencia, at the intersection of Junin and Juncal--unforgettable food and service! Buenos Ayres Grill on Av. Santa Fe is a first-class place with great food, service, and it's so lucky it is so close to the apartment. We also enjoyed several meals at La Cholita, just a few blocks over on Rodríguez Peña, delicious food, nice casual atmosphere. We loved the Italian food at Broccolino's, Esmeralda 776, between Córdoba y Viamonte, close to such tourist attractions as Teatro Colón, Galerias Pacifica or San Martín Plaza.
We shopped for groceries in at least 2 Disco stores nearby, and the Coto store, but mostly at the Carrefours across Av. Santa Fe because of its convenience and prices.
As a tourist destination, we found Buenos Aires a beautiful, exciting and friendly place.

June 4, 2011 Yes, apartment The Haven in the Recoleta district, is close to restaurants, shopping, bakeries, and grocery stores. I found it very conveniently located. Check in and check out were both very easy. Augusto was very helpful showing us the features of the apartment and making recommendations within the neighborhood. He also helped with taxi arrangements for our return to the airport. The overall appearance of the apartment was very appealing. I especially liked the large framed artwork in every room. The beds were extremely comfortable. I wished that I could take the organized master bedroom closet home with me. The chairs in the bedroom and living room (both the same style) were very comfortable and attractive. Linens were very nice. Our stay at the Haven was much more fun than it would have been staying at a hotel. We enjoyed cooking breakfast and dining in the lovely dining room one night. We also relaxed in the living room after spending many long hours touring the great neighborhoods. It was an ideal place for my sisters and I to spend time together. There were two Disco grocery stores within walking distance from the apartment. The one slightly further from the apartment was cleaner and had a better assortment than the closer store. They also offered a good selection of Argentinian wines. Marie H. - Baltimore, MD
