The Pad

Our bright and spacious two-bedroom apartment for rent is in the same building as The Loft and can comfortably sleep four. The wall of windows in the living room and sunlight above the kitchen give it excellent light. The decor matches this light and breezy feeling, making The Pad a peaceful home, perfect for those who want to feel like they are living in Buenos Aires, not just visiting it.

The building is one of the oldest and best preserved in the neighborhood. Back then a floor was much more than just a place to throw down some carpet. They were part of the decor. Thought went into the design of these original tile floors. We’ve restored the floors and left the original brick walls because this is, after all, San Telmo.

The kitchen is fully stocked with an old 1950s refrigerator, a microwave (for reheating those amazing meals you couldn’t finish the night before), a stove and oven. The skylight from the terrace highlights the mosaic designed wall.

Have breakfast at the bar in the morning light, or head up to the terrace on the second floor and get some sun. With a view of San Telmo’s church, the terrace is a great place for a romantic dinner or tapas and wine. What makes The Pad special is the details. Stained glass windows, vaulted brick ceilings, and artistic touches throughout. Natalia has outdone herself again!

The upstairs bedroom can also serve as an office or study. Just turn the bed into a sofa and pull the desk to the window.

And the master bedroom is bigger than my entire apartment (well, almost). So many of those who’ve stayed with us this past year in The Loft have come to Buenos Aires to write. The Pad is peaceful enough to inspire, roomy enough for you to get a change of scenery when you’ve reached a block, and quiet enough to make you feel like you’re in the country instead of this city of millions.
