Home description
The apartment is situated in a very quiet upmarket area called Playa Chica. It is situated on the top (8th) floor of a very nice building, with secure entrance and on-site caretakers. The living room, kitchen and bedroom all look out over the sea, with a balcony running the whole length with doors opening from the living room and the bedroom. The apartment block is approx. 25 years old with two excellent elevators.
The caretakers are available for help at all times and the owners live six blocks away.
The apartment has under-gone extensive modernisation and is now ready for use (mid-October 07).

The Central Argentina / Buenos Aires Province region
Mar del Plata is situated in the Province of Buenos Aires, 400 kms (250 miles) south of Buenos Aires, on the Atlantic ocean. Summer is from December to March with temperatures ranging from 15-30 degrees. June to August is winter and although it can get very cold, the daily temperatures still reach about 10 degrees with blues skies and sunshine.
Mar del Plata area
Mar del Plata, known as "La Ciudad Feliz" (the happy city) lives up to its name. There are no shortage of restaurants, cafés, clubs, pubs, discos for the young and old alike, including many traditional events of Tango. There are also many theatres and cinemas (with English speaking films) and of course the casino. You will also find many musical events and tango on the sea front in the centre of town, where everybody can join in.
As well as the best beaches and golf clubs, there are every kind of water sports available including waterskiing, surfing, diving, sailing, canoeing and of course swimming. If you aren't too keen on water, how about horse riding, trekking, cycling, polo, football, volleyball, basketball, hockey, rugby, quad biking, paragliding, go-carting, fishing, cruising, walking and many more. For the less sporty, there are museums and buildings of different architectural beauty.
Only want a relaxing holiday, then spend your time lazing on one of the many private beaches. You don't even need to get up as waiter service extends to the beaches.
How to get there
Mar del Plata (MDP) is 400km (250 miles) south of Buenos Aires and is situated on the Atlantic ocean. There are daily flights from Buenos Aires (BA) to MDP which take approx. 40 minutes. MDP airport is located on the outskirts of the city, about 14kms (10 miles) from the centre of the city. Alternatively, and the most popular route is a 5.15 hour coach journey from Retiro bus station in BA, to the bus terminal in MDP. These coaches have seats that can be semi-reclined or totally reclined. The prices vary from 9-10 pounds each way and is non-stop. The coach has a toilet and hot and cold drinks machine. You will also be provided with a snack. There is also a train service between BA and MDP, but have been told it is not really recommended and can take as long as the coach or longer. This service is being modernised and updated, but will take a few years. For a large party of people, a private mini-bus can be hired at a cost of about 150 pounds. There are many car hire companies if you prefer to drive and it will take about 4 hours, depending on stops.
Please note the code for Mar del Plata airport is MDQ.
