The Hideaway

Spacious loft with a huge terrace and a great view of the church of San Telmo. Gorgeous furniture and lots of artsy details. Tall ceilings. Fully equipped kitchen. Weekly cleaning service. Friendly, helpful neighbors. The Hideaway is a great apartment to rent while on vacation here in Buenos Aires.

The Hideaway is a large one-bedroom loft with a double-sized futon (it sleeps four)  located in the same building as The Loft and The Pad. Incidentally, I live in this building, too. It’s the coolest building on the block and just two blocks away from Plaza Dorrego, the heart of San Telmo.

Turn-of-the-century building complete with a dome!

It’s perfectly situated for discovering San Telmo and the city in general. Tons of bus lines have stops right down on Paseo Colon, our street, and it’s only 8 blocks to the subte (Metro or subway). The Hideaway is in the back part of the building (off the main street) which means, like The Loft and The Pad, it’s incredibly quiet and peaceful.

View from terrace of San Telmo's church.

The view from the large terrace is of an old orphanage that the Spanish government has recently purchased and will convert into the largest Spanish Culture Center in all of Latin America. You can also see the top of the church of San Telmo from the terrace. This is my favorite part of The Hideaway.

Tall French doors lead to corridor and main entrance.

But there’s much much more to appreciate about The Hideaway. Like I said, it really is a home, filled with personal touches and details you simply can’t find in most other apartments for short-term rental.

Beautiful furniture and great light!

You’ll find all sorts of things to cook with (casserole dishes, grill plates, a citrus juice, a toaster, baskets for bread and fruit, and more).

The bedroom is in the loft area and overlooks the living room.

The bed is divine. It’s huge and there are a lot of wonderfully Argentinean blankets for the colder months. If you want added privacy, you can close the sheer white curtains that enclose the bedroom. There’s a study just five steps up from the bedroom with a double-sized futon where another couple can sleep. There’s no door separating these two “bedrooms” but the curtains that enclose the main bedroom do provide some privacy.
