Guest Reviews

Theodosios (8/5): -
Patricia (5/5): buena - lo que mas me gusto fue la ubicacion, el baño no ventilaba al comedor(no nos resulto pues eramos un grupo). No cocinamos pero los utencillos eran los basicos basicos. sugiero que si no los limpian un dia domingo te permitan dormir hasta mas tarde maxime si uno viaja por algun evento nocturno habitacion sin ventana(interna ) y baño sin ventilacion
Maria (10/5): Excelente - La ubicación es excelente. El personal muy cálido. Y la modalidad del alojamiento es muy cómodo porque es autónomo

Rodolfo (7/5): Razonable, sugiero wifi y a/c - Ubicación, limpueza Espacio ducha solo para físicos muy pequeños; no es mi caso!
maria del huerto (1/5): PESIMA - Elegí por la Ubicación. 1.-La ducha es chica no permite ingresar de frente ya que el receptáculo tiene puerta y no son móviles ni plegable, entraba de costado y eso que mi contextura en mediana, incluso estaba roto lo que provoco una CORTADURA EN MI PIE DENTRO DE LA DUCHA, me cure en la noche y al día siguiente reclame al retirarme mostrándole fotos e me llamaron diciendo que inspeccionaron la habitación y que no encontraron sangre. Contestándole que busquen dentro de la basura el papel higiénico con que me limpie y el vendaje que me puse. Hice el reclamo privadamente sin repuesta favorable, diciendo entre otras cosas que accidente lo tiene cualquiera ( aclarándole que el supuesto accidente fue porque esta roto el receptáculo con perfiles en punta- foto) 2.-En cuanto a la cocina, el microonda no tiene accesible enchufe, así que lo trasladé hasta la mesada, que al ser tan chica no entraba. 3.-La puerta de acceso a la habitación, Tenes que empujarla con tu cuerpo, dado que es vieja. 4.-También me olvide un vaso de valor para mi, sin generar el reclamo dijeron que lo enviaban a mi domicilio, y ahora me dijeron que estará hasta diciembre disponible para que vaya a buscarlo a buenos aires, porque son hotel no transportistas. 5.- Las Almohadas son duras. Lamentable TODO... un poco de predisposición y una disculpa vale mas que el reintegro del dinero.
Giselle Susana (6/5): Lugar bien ubicado que elegí porque estaba cerca del lugar donde tenía mi evento - La ubicación del apart es buena y la habitación grande con una cama confortable El edificio estaba en construcción y no respondía a las fotos que miré en Booking. No me dijeron que la recepción estaba en otro edificio
Laura (10/5): -
Mendez (10/5): Excelente la atención - Muy linda la propiedad
Pui Sze (9/5): lovely apartment and friendly staff makes my day - locating at the center but still quite at the night, spacious apartment with elevator which is great for me with 20kg luggage!! very friendly and nice staff, can communicate in English without using google translate. the lighting of the apartment is quite dim but maybe it's a problem for me.
Pablo (5/5): Todo muy bien, excepto que no siempre tenía agua suficientemente caliente en la ducha. - El hotel es un edificio antiguo bien adaptado. En la ducha, no tenía suficiente agua caliente, y cuando había no salía muy caliente, esto considerando que fué en pleno invierno, la recepción no es 24hs y no pude realizar la queja personalmente.
Nicolas (8/5): -
Roxana (9/5): - La ubicación, la amplitud de lugar con lo necesario Había problemas con la llave de ingreso, cuando salía costada entrar.
Ani (10/5): Exceptional - An amazing and fancy property reflecting the felicísimo of Buenos Aires!
Francisca (2/5): Very poor -
Maria (1/5): the room was a joke. - I think my room was 3 E . So I do not need to explain why I am not pleased at all. everything.
Mihaela (6/5): Pleasant - The room had a beautiful terrace It was quite expensive and the furniture and facilities were old
João (7/5): Good place for a solo travelers;. - Room small, but enough for solo travels. Excelent to travelers who need a place to sleep and shower. The Sttaf are very nice and friendly. The location is also very good too.
Kevin (8/5): Very good -
Andrea (1/5): Bad -
Tobi (8/5): Very good -
Elias (10/5): Exceptional -

Cintia (10/5): Exceptional -
Francisco (9/5): a rare gem - everything
Patricia (10/5): excelent - location and easy access easy acces
William (8/5): Very good - Our checkin was delayed by a late plane but we were received well and he was very helpful with our unwieldy bags. Our room was large with a good TV and we enjoyed our balcony. There should be some noise insulation from the neighbours if it’s possible. The small step in the bathroom tripped my wife but could maybe be extended as a ramp towards the door?
Kirsten (7/5): Great value for money. - The location was excellent for where we wanted to visit (cemetery, transportation museum). Close to AEP. We were in BA for just one night and this was very convenient and affordable. Very spacious apartment but basic. The grout in the shower could have been cleaner. No 24hr reception.
Ian (9/5): Good central option in a stylish building - Very cool old building with some imaginative remodernisation. The room was a good size for the price and had a charming balcony with two chairs and table (french style). Location is not bad - a walkable distance from Retiro and the cemetery in a busy area with cafes and nightlife. Fully monitored by security although the area does not feel sketchy. The kitchen was practical (although the coffee maker required coaxing into life) and the bathroom and shower all satisfactory. The reception team was helpful and friendly. Wifi is reliable but weak.
Ricardo (8/5): Very good -
pichbubdi (8/5): A great location - We have stayed here several times and love this place. Great location and a super staff. Easy walking distance to many great sights and we have always felt safe in this area. So many great restaurants too.
evelynhazzard (10/5): A Quaint Boutique Hotel - Sitting out on a balcony on a warm evening, enjoying a glass of wine, in February, is a supreme treat for Canadians! We were in Recoleta, steps away from restaurants, coffee shops, wine stores, & the best ice cream in town. We had an old fashioned lift, a supremely secure building, an apartment with 2 beds, a little kitchen, & a balcony! We felt like we were in Paris. I had booked Leonardo months ahead and confirmed weeks ago. Communication was always immediate & helpful. Even though I requested 'superior' & 'balcony', the price was still less than one of those big impersonal hotels. We were so pleased with ourselves for discovering this treasure.
Zuzana161 (6/5): Good location, choose a room with private pool - Location just few steps from Avenida 9thJuly, older hotel, with older furniture, but room With private pool has a charm.:) Room is spacious, beds comfortable, kitchen and bathroom old. Space around pool is a little bit dirty, but it was maybe after the night storm. This accomodation doesnt offer breakfast, but breakfast cafe is one minute walking. There is also An old lift and night guide
genem552 (10/5): Best stay in BA - This is a great find- I have been to Buenos Aries with family 4 times this year and of all the places to stay, this was my favorite. Large sunny rooms, privacy,helpful staff. great location. This is a Apartment stay, so do not expect usual Hotel accommodations. However the kitchen comes in very handy.
btdugan (10/5): Short term furnished apartments - The staff has been very accommodating for the month I've so far been here. The apartment is well complimented, upscale and sunny. The location I know well as I used to live 2 blocks over. Calle Libertad has 7 cafes within a block or so; laundry and pharmacy on the same block and a dry cleaner around the block. Prices are certainly higher than a long-term unfurnished lease, but very good when compared to hotels of equal accommodations.
ceciliaschneider (8/5): Satisfied and would stay again - Originally I had requested a single room but opted for the Departamento with a small pool. Federico was very acomodating allowing for an early check-in and we could even go into the room way before the 2:00 time. We also learned that for half of the full price we could get the room until the following day at 2:00 which made it easier for our late departure. The ladies who took over reception were not as helpful. AND they charged my credit card (I had specified paying cash) for the second day, with a full fee rather than the discount if you pay with cash. When calling their attention it was changed and they accepted my cash at the accorded amount. The room was clean and a respite from the humidity of the summer. The pool was wonderful. Towels a bit old, but clean. The kitchen was complete and there are many places nearby to purchase either take out or groceries. There is a working elevator. The desk will make reservations for radio taxi. The place is in a safe and agreeable neighborhood and within walking distance of many sites to visit. I would stay there again. And hope to!!!
wanttotravelmore123 (10/5): Perfect For Us - We entered and exited Argentina through Buenos Aires. We stayed here both times. We had only booked it on the way in but were so satisfied we made a reservation here for the way out. The hotel was very accommodating. We got in about midnight our first night and check in was a breeze. We were given a key and taken up to our room. Because it was late we dealt with the money the next day. No problem. The gentleman who let us in was able to point us to an ATM. Getting money in ATMs in Argentina can be challenging sometimes. That evening we dropped our bags and immediately went out for dinner and a drink. The hotel is good for that. We didn't have to go far to find something. On our way back to BA our bus came in at 8:30am. We knew the hotel would hold our bags for us but they had a room that was ready to go so they let us check in. I can not say enough how awesome this was. It was great to be able to take a shower and head out for the day feeling good. Everyone was here was very helpful and friendly. I loved our rooms. They both had their positive features. I would recommend this hotel to anyone.
Happy-traveler539 (6/5): Words cannot express my disappointment - The room was a decent size, and comfortable. The most disappointing part of it was that I had some of my belongings stolen during my stay there obviously by the cleaning staff, as one day when I came back into the room the cleaner was still there, and to my shocking surprise I found the blouse that I has left in the wardrobe was out and placed on top of the pillow on the bed, that's when I immediately felt that something was not right considering that the cleaner could not look at me in the eyes and say hello, as though she had a guilty conscience, and on top of it the place was not cleaned properly or maintained as my towels were only changed twice in the 2 weeks that I stayed over there, also I had to ask for soap when I ran out instead of them having placed some spare soap in advance so that one did not have to out and have to ask for a replacement. Floors were never washed during the time I was there, even though you could see foot prints on the floor boards. Beds were not properly made. the over all experience was not to my liking and therefore I would not recommend this apartment as a good place to stay. I feel that the place is not hygienically maintained, and it left me with a lot to be desired.
Samoline (10/5): The best deal in town! - I have stayed in few hotels in BA, this is by far the best, very well located, few meters from it there is a paid car park which was convenient for us as we were renting a car, the room was really romantic, specious, with a dining area, equipped kitchen and good sized balcony, we were on the 5th floor and had not a bad view of the city, the staff at the check in was pleasant, price was very good comparing to other hotels we have stayed at, it was cheaper and way better in every aspect, if I am going to BA again, I am staying there for sure.
BrysonSeattle (6/5): Its a place to sleep - We chose this place for its location because it was closed to where the rest of my family was staying. The apartment we got was not as pictured. It has everything that you need (bed, bathroom, kitchen) but it is not a place where I would want to hang out in as a break from the city. It does its job as a place to sleep but very bare place with no character
LunitaLoca (8/5): Nice and bright apartment - The hotel management was professional and very friendly and we had very good communication during our stay. The apartment we rented had a very nice and large living room with lots of light. The view from the long balcony is over a large open area, where one can see the roofs of several buildings until the buildings on the other side rises. One cannot see the street scene from the balcony and with the neighbour buildings so far away it felt like having a private area. Sun from 14 o'clock until sunset. There is air conditioning in both the living room and the bedroom. They worked very well for both heating and cooling. The kitchen is extremely small and has no exhaust fan or window. Therefore, we often went out to eat. As there are lots of nice restaurants within all categories in the neighbourhood, we really enjoyed. There are also lots of delicacy stores - so it's easy to buy something nice to enjoy at home. The porter in the building ensured that we always felt safe evening and night. We could notice that the building is not “soundproof”, but apart from some sounds in between, we experienced a quiet and peaceful stay. We enjoyed ourselves very much here and we will gladly return.
Ruby_Gamgee-Took (10/5): Really nice apartment - We stayed here for 3 nights and were pleasantly surprised by how nice and clean the room and entire building was. Beds were very comfortable. we mostly spoke with the security guard due to the times we were there and he was really helpful from giving us the wifi password to booking us taxis.
samcrowe (2/5): Not what's advertised, poor management - We read great reviews and looked at photos on the website, so we were pretty excited to find this apart hotel that has a great location and is reasonably priced. We went ahead and reserved an "Economic" room (3 person capacity) for a month. Even with the knowledge that all the apartments are different and "unique" we were not happy with what we received. It was not what was represented in the pictures, in layout, quality, nor cleanliness. - The kitchen, which in a poor planning decision was somehow smaller than our bathroom, had dark spots on the counter that look suspiciously like mold. - Rather than a queen bed, we had two twins that were velcro-ed together. - VERY dirty bedskirt, stained and faded blanket (I suppose this was supposed to be a "comforter"). - Awkward layout. Upon entering the room, you are in a hallway with a bed in a small recess to the left. - The bathroom doors needed to be closed with quite a lot of force to fit in the doorways. Even with a good slam, one of the bathroom doors tends to open of its own device (no lock to keep it in place either). This can make it a little awkward with 3 grown adults staying here. - Had to call and request mattress sheets and pillowcase for the additional bed. It was just a mattress with a blanket covering it and the pillow upon arrival. - After hanging a towel next to the sink hook, it fell right off the wall. - For having such ample room in the bathroom, not sure why the toilet was in the corner just inches away from the wall (my husband's knees hit the wall when he sits!). - Within a minute of the shower running you are standing in a puddle of water that is not draining. Had to periodically turn off the water during a single shower to allow the water to drain. - Thin walls and lack of sufficient curtains means that we can hear people in other rooms talking at a regular volume, cell phone rings, and more. - The bedroom is bright as soon as the sun comes out, no curtains for the large top window (if you're sensitive to light when sleeping like I am, you'll have a hard time here) - There is a small hallway-like patio with a wooden fence separating it from the neighbor's patio. Upon check-in it was pretty dirty, complete with a dead cockroach occupying it. Rain moved the cockroach, so it's not in the pictures. We arrived on a Saturday for a month-long stay and our "Economic" room wasn't ready due to a hot water issue, so we spent the day after our flight walking and wandering nearby. We thought our disappointment at the room might be due to our exhaustion so we waited until the next day to talk to the staff. The staff showed us three other rooms in the "Superior" category that had just been vacated (but in need of cleaning and service) to see if we would rather move to another room and pay the difference. Though we appreciated this effort, we were still disappointed in the quality of all the rooms. With a third guest staying with us we did not find another place to stay until he left. When we tried to settle our tab and dispute the charge for the nights we did not stay there, we were kicked out of the hotel that very same day by the manager. I just honestly don't understand where any good reviews are coming from. Unless you can handle low-quality rooms, bedding, and terrible management, I would not recommend staying here. As an avid traveler with many types of accommodation experiences (hostels, hotels, you-name-it), I can say with certainty that this was the worst stay and experience I have ever had in my life.
tobydog2004 (10/5): Kevin J - This was the third time staying there and I highly recommend the quaint hotel. It's really in a great neighborhood and easy to walk to most everything. The staff is exceptional and when we needed help or advice and suggestions Flor and Federico were flawless, I wish they worked for me.
jds88 (8/5): Great Apartment in a great location - We enjoyed our stay in the apartments of Leonardo Da Vinci Residences. Our accommodation was a studio apartment over Easter in 2013. Kitchen was adequate for self catering. Great balcony overlooking the street to eat our meals on. Very clean. Fast wifi.
judyr460 (10/5): Small, Comfortable and Charming - Our friends who live in Buenos Aires found this hotel for us, primarily because it was in a safe neighborhood and met our budget constraints. It turned out to be much better than just in a great neighborhood (Recoleta) and VERY reasonably priced. Our room was lovely, big bath, big bedroom with a very comfortable king bed, sweet balcony overlooking the Argentinian FBI building and a tiny kitchen with fridge, microwave, coffee pot, wifi, phone in room. good airconditioning. Clean as a whistle, working elevator, someone in the office all day and a security guy on at night. It was clean, comfortable, very pleasant English speaking staff and extremely affordable. We paid (off season and a long, 11 day stay) about $45 a night. It's small, maybe 30 rooms in two buildings (one of which has a private swimming pool!!), there's a little market next door, a bakery down the block, and we recommend the Café Arenales on the corner. Convenient to the river and lots of museums and restaurants, it's a jewel.
svr43 (10/5): A Jewel in Buenos Aires - We were 2 couples and supposed to move into an apartment we booked online. It turned out that none of the amenities in the apartment functioned. Luckily, we tried this LDV residence and they had 2 last premium apartments vacant. It was a salvation for us. The place is clean, beds are comfortable and the kitchen had all we needed. The location is the best in BA (this was our 6th time in this great city). It is safe, 2-3 blocks away from the opera house and in walking distance to all attractions on both sides of the main Avenue - 9 de Julio. The receptionists speak fluent English and are very nice and helpful.
Paulaintorrespain (8/5): Great location and value - We stayed at the Da Vinci for 3 nights in December 2012 and thoroughly enjoyed it. The staff were really helpful and spoke good English. Our room didn't have a balcony but the windows opened onto the street so we could watch the world go by and listen to the birds in the trees on the rare occasions we were in the room. Location was perfect - just about anywhere we wanted to go was walkable. Having the kitchenette was a bonus as we could make coffee and light snacks. For value in an otherwise expensive city we couldn't fault it.
newt2 (8/5): Good budget accommodation - A great budget option. The room had everything necessary for a pleasant stay - including a well-equipped kitchen. The hotel is central and provides easy access to the city. The building is old so it has some funny quirks but I enjoyed my stay. The staff pretty much left me to my own devices and weren't as forthcoming with tourist information as I expected, but I was happy enough with the service.
703SamM (10/5): Better than reviews - After reading some of these outdated reviews I was pleasantly surprised at the apartment.. Great room on the 5th floor with a balcony. Beautiful wooden floors and just a pleasure to stay in. Walking distance to many great areas. The kitchen was sufficient however lacking some basics (sharp knife). If I was gonna be picky then the bday didn't work but let's be honest who uses them? Very clean with the maid service every day and clean sheets every 3 days. Value for money one of the best in South America!! ( Argentina is expensive )
