Part 4: The Stay
We knew exactly where to go to find our apartment, since we had been to Faena Hotel + Universe many times before, however the instructions that we received prior to our stay were incredibly detailed and we would have had no problem finding it if we had not known its exact location. The apartment, which can be accessed through its own private entrance, is managed by the company Apartments BA and is located in the Puerto Madero barrio. Upon arrival, the doorman greeted us and sent us up to the apartment where we were met by a friendly host and a dozen red roses. She took us through the apartment and told us everything that we needed to know in detail. I am sure if this had been our first time in Buenos Aires or that my husband was not a Porteño, she would have been able to give us excellent recommendations in English on things to do and see. We insantly loved the apartment, which was actually a studio, however it still felt very spacious due to its strategic layout. There was free wifi, a TV with hundreds of channels, and a cell phone to use if we desired. Our favorite part of the apartment was being amongst the Philippe Starck furniture — we are huge fans of the talented designer! Included in our stay was access to Faena’s luxurious pool and gym. For an extra fee, we could have hired a housecleaner.
Part 5: The Photos
Part 6: The Conclusion
The best part about renting an apartment is that you instantly feel as though you are a local — a feeling that I think is priceless! The extra space is a huge plus and although I typically eat all of my meals out while traveling, having the option to cook or have food delivered is always welcomed as well.
Andi, I don’t think I’ve ever seen red orchids before!
The apartment looks nice and charming.
It was sooo lovely!
I would just stay in the apartment the whole trip and never spend any time in Buenos Aires itself!
Well….that’s what unfortunately happened since I was so sick, but I am so grateful that I was at least surrounded by so much beauty and comfort!
That apartment looks absolutely stunning! I definitely would find it hard to leave!
I was so blessed to have been staying there, because I was sick and it was the perfect place to be sick haha!
very nice and we love renting apartments
It’s pretty awesome!
I love renting apartments I love to be able to cook my own food! This one looks beautiful!
It was sooo beautiful! We cooked a lot of breakfasts, but nothing else. I wish I knew how to cook more!
Looks pretty swish Andi! I may have to stop there myself 🙂

Super swish, love that word! If you end up staying there let me know!!!
What a gorgeous apartment! I’ll have to keep Roomorama in mind should I find myself on an extended stay in some exotic location! 🙂
It was sooo gorgeous!!! I loved all of the details. I wish that I had felt better while I was there, but I’m sure we’ll stay there again in the future! 🙂
AMAZING AMAZING photos.
Thank you!!!!!
WOW!!! I think I’d like the apartment too much to leave!
Hahaha that might have crossed my mind! 😉
Understated elegance. I would expect nothing less from Faena.
That is the perfect way to describe it!!!
This place is so unbelievably stylish! And it looks really big for a studio. How fantastic that you got to stay at Faena again…I like these apartments even more than the hotel room photos I’ve seen…
One day the 4 of us…maybe by then even with our children…need to all stay together in a Faena apartment!
Wow that apartment is only a studio? It looks so big. It’s staged really well: beautiful furniture, bright colors. Looks great, good luck on your stay 🙂
Yeah, they staged it perfectly!!! Isn’t it just gorgeous?
Um, WOW! I actually love studios, such efficient use of space and don’t let you collect too much junk. If I settle back in NYC ever, it’s the only thing I could afford so good thing I like them 🙂
My husband LOVES studios too! He wants to buy one and while I like them a lot, they are not so practical with children, you know?
Wow, fantastic place!
Yes best of the best!
Wow, what a fabulous place! I absolutely love it! Wish I would’ve known about this studio when we were looking into apartments to rent in Buenos Aires – I have bookmarked it should we return to BA in December 🙂
Please let me know if you come back in December! I will help you plan an incredible trip!!! Besos chicas!
