Fantastic experience - couldn't have asked for a better start to our 5 week trip. San Telmo was the perfect location and the apartment itself is amazing. An historical building, right on Plaza Dorrego and within a few minutes walk of the food market, subway and Plaza de Mayo. Lots of great restaurants really close by too. San Telmo is an authentic, safe neighbourhood with a great vibe and plenty of soul. Definitely our favourite of all the areas we visited.
Norm and Yamilis have put a lot of effort into maintaining the authenticity of the building and making the apartment a very cool, clean and comfortable place to stay. We were a family of 3 adults and the layout worked perfectly for us. We loved everything about it, including the sounds from the internal neighbours and their concert piano playing in the late afternoon (although you hear no street noise at all).
The kitchen is well equipped (although we ate out) and the washing machine/drying racks came in handy over 5 day stay.
We were lucky to have Norm on hand to welcome us and provide us with local tips but if he's not around, the info/plug adaptors/maps/guide books provided are super helpful.
We would stay here again in a heart beat! Thanks Norm :)
