‘Enjoying Buenos Aires’ Apartment Rental Services

From my point of view, when planning you trip to Buenos Aires and thinking about your accommodation options, it makes a hell of a lot of sense to throw short term apartment rentals into the mix.

Why? Well, when the choices are either to pay US$300 and upwards per night at a luxury or design hotel, versus the same price or less per week for a luxury apartment rental in Buenos Aires, with the same high levels of quality, comfort and design, all of a sudden the apartment option appears to be the most sensible option.

What’s that I hear you cry? Hotels have much higher levels of service and convenience that apartment rentals cannot offer? Well, I recently found out that there is another option to hotels, that matches them in these key areas, and yet beats them every time on value.

When my family came to visit me recently in Buenos Aires, I decided to look into apartment rental companies for them. A friend-of-a-friend knew of the owner of one such company, Enjoying BA, and recommended them highly to me. We ended up using them, and my family found both the quality of the apartment (in Recoleta) and level of service from the company to be of an extremely high standard. And so, here’s a nice review for them…

Enjoying BA is a relatively new player on the Buenos Aires Apartments scene, a small company that puts an emphasis on quality, not quantity, and so offers an extremely personalized service with their rentals – in fact, they even have their own concierge staff, whose mission is to make your stay in Buenos Aires the most comfortable, happy and interesting time possible.

Making the Most of Your Stay in Buenos Aires

It is because of the fact that Enjoying BA is a relatively small apartment rentals company in Buenos Aires that it can offer such a personalized, quality service.

Other larger Buenos Aires accommodation rental outfits have so many apartments in their inventory that it seems likely they accept just about any apartment they can get their hands on into their ranks – there is no assurance that you will be getting a quality place to stay.

Enjoying BA on the other hand has a select number of apartments, instead putting their emphasis on comfort, quality, design and superb location, over sheer quantity. In fact, all of their apartments are located in either Recoleta or around leafy Plaza San Martin – two of the most upmarket and nicest places to stay in Buenos Aires.

But the biggest advantage of using a small company like Enjoying BA is their ability to offer a highly personalized service from your first contact with them right the way through to when you check out. Large apartment rental companies, from my past experiences, do not offer this – you feel like just another client to them. Whereas Enjoying BA will do everything in their power to help make the most of your time in Buenos Aires, including in-the-know local recommendations and advice.

So for example, they won’t send you off to the overpriced, touristy, packaged bus tours and tango shows like others would – instead they will attempt to show you the best of the city from a local perspective, therefore expect recommendations on where to see, hear and dance authentic tango, the best places to try local food such as empanadas and parrillas, and so on. This advice is imparted by their trained, local concierge staff, whose presence really is a major benefit of renting your apartment in Buenos Aires through Enjoying BA.

The Comfort of a Hotel, with the Independence of Home

The Enjoying BA motto is the comfort of a hotel, with the independence of home, which encapsulates their approach to service and quality detailed above. You can also be sure that it is a reliable and well-run company, by people who know the tourist accommodation business in Buenos Aires inside out – as Enjoying BA it is a unit of MIA Global, whose owners are ex-Hyatt, Sheraton and Marriott.

Recoleta and Plaza San Martin Apartments

As I already mentioned, all of Enjoying BA’s properties are located in two of the best areas to stay in Buenos Aires, Recoleta and Plaza San Martin, with the majority found right in the heart of Recoleta. Due to this, not only are the apartments all located in very pleasant areas, but they are also very close to the large majority of tourist attractions, such as Recoleta Cemetery, Plaza San Martin, Florida pedestrian shopping street, the Obelisk, Plaza de Mayo, and Puerto Madero.

Their properties range from studio and 1 bedroom apartments, which can accommodate 2 to 4 people depending on the apartment, to 2 bedroom properties, which can all accommodate up to 4 people. All are of course fully furnished and carefully decorated, and include everything you would expect and more – bedding, crockery, a selection of teas, towels etc – again, all with an emphasis on quality. The different apartment’s prices range from US$170 to US$440 per week, which is about the same range you would expect to pay per night for a luxury hotel in Buenos Aires!

The place that my family stayed in was a studio apartment in Recoleta, for a maximum of three people, located on Vicente Lopez and Callao. They loved this location, because it is right in the heart of Recoleta, a couple of blocks from the famous cemetery, the bars/restaurants strip, and the extremely posh Avenida Alvear with all of its designer label shops and delightful old French architecture. The apartment itself was spacious, decorated nicely in a modern manner, and with a well equipped kitchen and bathroom.

However, what most impressed them was the experience manager from Enjoying BA, who they could contact at any time. This was a godsend for me, because I was working during the day, so my family had another local contact to help them with any questions they had about Buenos Aires. In addition to the included maid service, this helped make their apartment stay a very comfortable one. And all for the very reasonable price of US$235 a week!

I also had the chance to look around a different Enjoying BA property, another studio apartment for two people located in Recoleta, this time on Azcuénaga and Juncal. This one is a little closer to Avenida Santa Fe, an excellent avenue for shopping in Buenos Aires, and also even a little cheaper, at US$195 a week. It was a little smaller than the apartment my family stayed in, and meant for a maximum of two people, but still fairly spacious, warmly decorated, and beautifully furnished.

Enjoying BA Special Studio Apartment Offer

At present, Enjoying BA has an excellent special offer to take advantage of. You can get two nights (three days) in one of their Studio apartments (located in either Recoleta or Plaza San Martin), a round trip transfer from the airport on the day of your arrival and departure, and entrance to a quality, authentic Buenos Aires tango show (dinner included), all for just US$165 per person.

This is a great deal, especially when you consider that many people will be paying that for the airport transfers and tango show alone, but you will also get two nights of luxury accommodation into the bargain!
