This is one of the nicest and most unique places we’ve found on Expedia! Great place with excellent decor and awesome rooms. We chose a room with a loft. So unique and awesome! My wife loved it! Worth the extra few bucks to get the loft!! The thing that really “made” our stay at the Poetry Building was the people that work there. They were so helpful with giving us a few suggestions for things to see, what’s close (walkable), and what’s worth the trip across town for. Recommendations for culture, shopping, restaurants (steaks), and sweets (pastries). Our trip was quick (3 days, and we had rain during them ☹️) but the staff gave us great ideas (and umbrellas!) that made our trip awesome! This place IS the one to book for your Buenos Aries trip. Stop scrolling and book it!

Our stay at the Poetry Building was perfect. From checking in with Valentina to the 7 nights we stayed, our apartment was exactly what we had hoped for. We had private terrace and balcony spaces and a fully furnished apartment where we were able to prepare a few meals when we wanted. The pool and garden were great spaces for to relax with a glass of wine in after a long day of sightseeing. The staff at the Poetry Building were nice, friendly and very accommodating with helping us explore restaurant reservations, letting us borrow umbrellas and making some great overall suggestions. The location was also great in the middle of Recoleta where we could walk almost anywhere we wanted to explore the city. A few blocks away from Sante Fe Ave, where it was easy to catch a taxi and also a few blocks away from the Subte, which made our stay very convenient. Highly recommend a stay with Poetry Building, you won’t regret it!
