Four of us stayed at Casa Palermitano for 6 nights before a month long exchange in North East Argentina. Three of us stayed in a clean and comfortable room. Lorena and Andrea are great!! We had so much fun with them. They have a great sense of humor. They are more than accomodating and will help you plan whatever you would like to do. They set up a soccer match for me and a bike tour for one of the other girls. On the last night we had an asado with them and some of the other guests. It was so much fun, but some of that is "off the record."

They were not only helpful when we stayed, but before our arrival. I received emails from Lorena with advice about which cabs to take and how much it should cost and where to exchange money for the best rates. Really, unbelievable customer service. We even got a few emails from Lorena after our trip following our journey.

They have a computer with skype which was nice for keeping in contact with home. Breakfast is great and the coffee is good too!!! The parrot (Luke Skywalker) is a great addition.

I would definately recommend staying here, especially for the price. You can walk to the different neighborhoods, stop to buy some Quilmes, wine, and some food and enjoy the patio.

Great bed and breakfast. The rooms are clean and comfortable and the location is fairly central. There are two subway stations within a 10-15 minute walk and most major attractions are a quick cab ride away. The owners are extremely friendly and helpful. They do everything possible to ensure that you have an enjoyable stay. For instance, I had my camera stolen on the subway and one of them helped me figure out how to get a police report accompanied me to the station for over an hour to act as an interpreter.

My husband and I stayed at Casa Palermitano for three nights in early May. We could not have been happier. The location and the hotel itself were great. Not to mention that Lorena and Andrea went above and beyond to help us get around the city. The breakfast was great (pastries, fruit, bread, coffee, and real orange juice). Our room was pretty big and clean.

I highly recommend this B&B if you really want to experience Buenos Aires. I would stay here again and again.

Gracias Lorena y Andrea...se pasaron! Saludos a Lucas :)

We were lucky enough to spend 12 days at Casa Palermitano in late March - early April. There were 3 of us, and Lorena thoughtfully gave us adjoining rooms. The rooms were very comfortable, with high ceilings, polished wooden floors, decorator bathrooms, and sheets especially selected to go with the color scheme of each room. Breakfasts consisted of delicious fresh bread and pastries, and a wonderful assortment of fresh fruit, plus juice and tea or coffee. Lorena and Andrea were excellent hostesses, very knowledgeable about restaurants, bus routes, tango shows, and which taxis you should flag down on the street. They are ably assisted by Norma, who fixes breakfast, cleans your room, and adds her own charm to your stay. Casa Palermitano is not in the trendiest part of Palermo, but the neighborhood feels safe and you can get to other parts of the city easily via bus, "subte," taxi, or on foot. Neighborhood businesses are more than adequate to fulfill your coffee, grocery, or supermarket needs, including excellent selections of Argentine wines. Lorena recommended a taxi driver, Jorge, whom we used several times because he was reliable, courteous, and honest. Our stay there was so long that we came to feel like members of the family, especially when Lorena's parents came for a visit. We made empanadas together one night, using Andrea's mother's recipes, and then enjoyed them in the patio with several bottles of Argentine wine. One warning: if you change money at the change booth located in the bottom floor of the Abasto shopping center, count your change carefully before leaving the window. We were shortchanged one time, and a few days later another person staying at Casa Palermitano had the same experience -- only we had warned her, so she knew enough to count her change before putting it away and leaving the change booth. (They grudgingly gave her the rest of her money.) From our standpoint, you couldn't find homier or more comfortable accommodations, nor friendlier or more helpful hostesses, anywhere in Buenos Aires.
