Bright, airy, good karma apartment for rent

Vital Stats:
—Apartment is on the eighth floor in the Recoleta, corner of French and Anchorena. Lots of shopping, stores, cafes nearby (read about the barrio in Chapter 18 of TAALS – click for the excerpt)
—Great public transportation – not far from the main downtown milongas.
—It’s about 500 sq. feet –  a one-bedroom, good for a couple, great for a writer or solitary artsy type.
—it’s fully furninshed – has  a double futon in the living room; two twins in the bedroom (can be pushed together to make a king).
—No air conditioning, but there are nice  ceiling fans in both rooms.
—Rent includes internet and phone. No TV, but there is a radio/CD – great wood floor.
—two small balconies add lots of charm.

The place rents for $600 by the month or $200 by the week.

The owner is Irina LaRose, a tanguera in the SF Bay Area – she’s been a great land lady. You may contact her directly for info on renting: spiritusvero@yahoo.com.

I lived and worked as a writer here for more than a year, through all four seasons – and I can vouch that the place, though not fancy, has “mucha buen onda” – lotsa good vibes.

    Hola Camille from Little Rock, Arkansas! Still hoping you can stop in for a Saturday night milonga when you are in the south. I plan to come back to BsAs in November of this year for 2 months. I will contact your friend. Thanks for taking time to send this. Are you writing a new book or just there to dance? Trying to learn Spanish now.

    Abrazos,

    Paula BirdSong
