We had a wonderful week at Ura's stylish apartment. Her house is spacious, comfortable and full of character. The building’s courtyard, with its flower pots, sleeping cats, and winding staircases felt like a refuge from the hectic city. The perfect place to come home to after a long day of exploring Buenos Aires in the sweltering summer heat. We especially loved the way Ura's own modern style fused with the turn-of-the-century charm of the building itself.

The location was perfect as well. Just north of the most touristy area of San Telmo but only a couple of minutes away from the famous Mercado San Telmo, where you can buy all the chorizo, fresh pasta, and vegetables you need if you decide to cook a meal in Ura’s well equipped kitchen. A Subte stop is right around the corner so transportation to other neighborhoods is a breeze.

Communication with Ura was fast and easy. Although we didn’t get to meet her in person, we were welcomed by her lovely housekeeper upon our arrival. In short: Staying at Ura’s place we really felt we got a slice of Buenos Aires live, which was exactly what we were looking for.
