Just a few pics from our first apartment in Recoleta, we LOVED it! This trip was so last minute, we planned it so quickly. I literally did not read my Lonely Planet book until I hit the ground here. The one thing we did really intensley research before we left were our accommodations, all of which we booked on Airbnb. And we were so, so lucky to find Madi at Buenos Aires Cultural Concierge!!! She was a huge help in our apartment search. We sent her a list of our top pics, she narrowed them down and then visited our finalists! Madi told us if the apartment was in a good neighborhood, or if the stairs were kid friendly, she basically made sure that this experience would meet our expectations, which was wonderful! I think where you stay really does play such a major part, especially if you need to spend a lot of time there while kids are napping or if you want to have a casual dinner at home every now and then! We are renting three different apartments/houses over the course of our stay here. Most people don't rent their homes for a very long period of time, which is how we ended up in both Recoleta and Palermo Soho. I think it was probably for the best so that we could experience two different barrios. Here are few pics from our apartment in Recoleta, it was classic and very French. We fell in love with our Super, Carlos, who kissed the babies every day and let us park our stroller in the garage. He even took out our trash, we just left it in the hallway outside of our door, how convenient. The location was absolutely perfect. I was so sad to leave and wish we could have stayed a little longer. Here is Graham in the elevator (this provided hours of amusement for us).

Here are Steph and Lulu in the foyer. I should mention that the owner of the apartment is a Chef from Le Cordon Bleu in Paris, so the kitchen was fully equipped. She also had a few photos of her, her family and friends and I love it when people leave these things out, it gives you a little glimpse into their life. I certainly will do the same if we ever Airbnb our house.

Here's Lulu on the way out for an adventure.

Here's Lulu in the morning with my favorite little lamp, the Lumio, that I got for Christmas.

We picked up this little plant basket for like $4 at the Recoleta Feria but Lulu likes to wear it as a purse.

She is shouting "UNO, DOS, TRES"!

We spent a lot of time in this spot, watching the world pass by each day.

I love this shot, really shows the kids bonding. I think that this trip has really brought them so much closer! They only have each other to play with and it's been so sweet to watch this transformation between the two of them.

Our apartment was the entire third floor of this building.

Here's G in the kitchen with his Cindor chocolate milk.

Daddy home from work! Yah!
