Our story
DiscoverBA.com was established in 2006 by Alfredo Candal and his wife, Valeria, as a unit of HomeCall International Communications Inc. , (A Connecticut, USA Corporation). We started out by choosing the best part of BA, Recoleta, and bought some apartments to renovate there. Family and friends soon also purchased apartments, and gave them to us to manage on their behalf. Soon we came to manage several apartments in different neighborhoods of BA including trendy Palermo. We have also made arrangements with local agencies to provide airport transfers, city tours, and activities for our guests, and are focused on one basic tenet: Taking advantage of our multi-cultural experience in treating our visitors as well as we can, while providing them a very highly personalized service. The other rule: we only work with apartments in which we ourselves would feel comfortable staying.
In 2011 Alfredo published an ebook guide on Amazon.com called “Buenos Aires Made Easy!” It is full of tips for visitors. In 2018 he followed up with an updated version, and new editions will likely be published in upcoming years.
