Whether you’re a family, a pair of couples traveling together, or a few friends on vacation, having your own private oasis in the middle of a city that never sleeps can be a blessing. This spacious home fits up to four, features a private pool and garden, and is perfect for those who want a little privacy from the city as well as each other (there’s a large patio that separates the two bedrooms). It’s nestled in Nuñez, an up-and-coming area with much to offer. For longer stays, the in-unit washer and dryer, private office, and garage are particularly appealing.

The property boasts more than 9,000 square feet of living space, complete with a private spa.

For the host or hostess

Bed & bath: 4 bedrooms, 4 baths
Top amenities: Private 3,000-square-foot patio, hot tub, in-unit washer and dryer

While slightly smaller than the other option on this list for big groups, this property is still well-suited for hosting a full crew. The private terrace spans over 3,000 square feet and features a hot tub, sundeck, and dining area. You’ll get incredible city views while relaxing in the hot tub, and it’s in the perfect neighborhood for exploring. It is particularly good for families or groups of friends thanks to the unique bedroom configuration: two double bedrooms and two rooms with three twin beds each. The apartment sleeps up to 10 guests, but you’ll likely spend most of your time on the expansive terrace.

For the digital nomad

Bed & bath: 1 bedroom, 1.5 baths
Top amenities: Private terrace, fully renovated interior, fast Wi-Fi

As a digital nomad, Buenos Aires is one of my favorite places to spend a few months working remotely. This one-bedroom duplex is located in Palermo Hollywood, one of the best areas in the city for expats looking to meet fellow travelers, making it great for solo travelers or couples. For those working remotely, there’s a dedicated workspace and fast Wi-Fi to help you stay productive on the road. Plus, you have a private terrace with great views. The fully-equipped kitchen and comfortable division of space are added benefits for nomads looking to stay awhile.

For a hotel-like experience

Bed & bath: 1 bedroom, 1 bath
Top amenities: In-building amenities, smart lock, premium location

There are certainly plenty of hotels throughout Buenos Aires, but I’ve found that if you want to stay in the prime areas and feel more like a local than a tourist, you need to rent an apartment. This property gives you the best of both worlds with hotel-like amenities in a perfect location. It’s next to the Recoleta Cemetery, a must-visit attraction when you’re in town, and is perfectly situated for a walk around the beautiful neighborhood. The building features a gym, spa, sauna, and hot tub, and the apartment has premium sheets and high-speed internet. The design feels very high-end, with tasteful furniture, blackout curtains, and a beautiful bathroom.

For solo tranquility

Bed & bath: 1 bedroom, 1.5 baths
Top amenities: Private pool, storage, air conditioning

You don’t have to travel with a large group to score a private pool: This one-bedroom apartment in Palermo has a patio with a plunge pool and outdoor grill. If you travel solo but still want your own private oasis, this is the perfect property for you. The living space is small but functional, and since the apartment is on the top floor of the building, it’s bright and airy. The walk-in closet provides excellent storage space as well. The building has a full gym, free garage, and laundry area accessible by a code you’ll receive upon entry.

For views of the Obelisk

Bed & bath: 1 bedroom, 1 bath
Top amenities: Incredible views, elegant design, easy access to the subway

The shining star of this elegant property is the balcony, which features unobstructed views of the incredible Obelisk—an iconic part of Buenos Aires in the center of the city. You’re unlikely to find a better view of it anywhere else. Being so close to the Obelisk means you’re in a prime space near extensive public transportation and can easily access any part of the city. The kitchen is tight but suitable for a few days on vacation (there’s a mini-fridge, microwave, dishwasher, and electric stove), and the view from the patio more than makes up for it.

For the business traveler

Bed & bath: 1 bedroom, 1.5 baths
Top amenities: 24-hour doorman, on-site co-working space, large kitchen

If you are traveling for work without an office to go into, you’ll appreciate this building’s co-working space. The apartment itself also has a dedicated workspace, meaning you can be productive day and night. Located in historic San Telmo, you’ll have some of the best food right at your fingertips, as well as museums and shopping. There’s also a park across the street, which is beautiful for a daytime stroll (but it’s best to avoid at night). The open kitchen, rooftop pool, in-building laundry, and fully equipped gym are just the cherry on top. Overall, this apartment provides tons of amenities while keeping affordability at the forefront.

For families with young children

Bed & bath: 2 bedrooms, 1.5 baths
Top amenities: Garage, balcony, child-friendly features

If you’re traveling with young children, you’ll appreciate the amenities available here, including a crib (upon request), children’s books and toys, a baby bath, children’s dinnerware, a changing table, and safety gates. One of the bedrooms has two twin beds, ideal for those with multiple young ones. It’s also located in Nuñez, one of Buenos Aires’ most family-friendly neighborhoods. Plus there’s a bathroom with a bathtub, making it one of the more accommodating properties in the city for both kids and those with limited mobility.

For pet parents

Bed & bath: 1 bedroom, 1 bath
Top amenities: In-unit washer, private patio

I travel full-time with my cat, Isabelle, and can attest to how difficult it can be to find a pet-friendly apartment. This apartment fits the bill, and is located in Palermo Soho, right in the middle of some fantastic restaurants. It’s well equipped for longer stays thanks to the full kitchen, patio with a grill, and location far from street noise. The aesthetic of this apartment is quite homey, which can make you feel like you’re living in the city rather than simply visiting. Plus, you can do laundry using the in-unit washer, which is relatively uncommon in Buenos Aires.
