Although I'm a German national, I have
actually resided outside my native country for almost
half my life. My first venture abroad was to Greece
where I worked in guest relations at a premier hotel
in Athens. From there, I moved to Sydney, Australia
where I held an exclusive post as personal assistant
for a major politician within the Australian Parliament.
Soon, with a desire to be more independent, I followed
my natural entrepreneurial instincts and opened, managed
and ultimately sold for a profit, two very successful
natural food/juice bars in Sydney. It was then, in 2004,
I decided to return to a place I had visited some years
before: BUENOS AIRES, ARGENTINA--and now, it is the
place I call home! I started BA4U to give other foreign
visitors a comprehensive insight to vacationing, property
investing and living in the "Paris of South America"-Buenos
Aires!
Tomas Rapallini | Manager
I was born and raised in Buenos Aires.
My studies in design, filmmaking, and English language
frame and speak of my curious personality and diverse
interests.
Now in my late twenties I discovered how rewarding and
amusing is to help visitors from all over the world
to get to know the most beautiful spots of the city
in a different way: we want to show you the real Buenos
Aires not only the tourist one.
Being in this business for more than
a year, I fully commit to the BA4U project to continue
giving professional, thoughtful and friendly assistance
to all those who really want to explore this fascinating
country and go through a different travel experience.
From bringing the best accommodation options to revealing
the hidden treasures and tips for first time visitors,
I truly enjoy showing the city I grew in and the city
I love.

Andrés Alvarez | Customer
service
I am a customer service assistant for
ba4u apartments. I live in Buenos Aires, the city in
which I was born. I studied law and also worked as a
multimedia editor.
I love languages and, as well as speaking my mother
tongue Spanish, I am fluent in English and Portuguese.
I am also studying Japanese.
I recently joined the team at ba4u apartments and I
very much enjoy working for the company. This is the
first time that I have worked with tourists, and I have
discovered a new and interesting world.
Our goal at ba4u apartments is to provide clients with
a professional and friendly service. For me, it provides
an excellent opportunity to show visitors what it means
to be Argentine, and to reveal the depths of our culture
and the beauty of Buenos Aires and the country.
