We loved our 3 week stay at Martin's apartment. The location is in a great bohemian neighbourhood and the San Telmo market on a Sunday is absolutely brilliant and only at the end of the street from the apartment. The apartment is bigger than it looks on the pictures and has everything you need to have a true home from home experience. As we were here for so long it was great to be able to cook at apartment as we are travelling on a budget. It was also great to be able to do our own laundry too. Martin was a fab host - very responsive to our messages in advance of arriving and was there to greet us and advise on the apartment and places to go. On site is the building manager Tito who is also great. He doesn't speak English but my basic Spanish got us through and he was so lovely and helpful every time we needed to speak to him. Martin was so kind to let us leave our luggage in apartment on day we checked out as we had late night flight. During the 3 week stay we headed to Iguazu Falls for a couple of nights and to Colonia, Uruguay on the ferry for an overnight stay both of which are highly recommend trips. As we had the apartment as our base for the 3 weeks we left our cases in the apartment and were able to take just our day packs which makes travelling about so much easier. The availability of a SUBTE card in the apartment is great and so easy to top up and use between the 2 of us. A must if you're wanting to explore the city beyond those places within walking distance. We would recommend taking the BA free walking tours - one for downtown and the other for Recoletta. Both are excellent and the guide is so interesting and engaging. It's a tip only tour so it makes it accessible for all budgets. Food wise there are plenty of mini supermarkets nearby and tons of cafes and restaurants. Right nearby we recommend: - San Juan Italian restaurant on Calle Chile for excellent food and the best customer service. That was a mid range price. - The La Colonial pizza place on the corner of Calle Chile / Defensa was the best pizza and again a very friendly service. That was low to mid range place. - The Parrilla Argentina Bodega just around the corner on Calle Defensa is good for a lower budget lunch with the menu del dia The Cerveza Antares is a fabulous craft beer bar with great food. Big portions so don't over order! If you're into your yoga do look up Buena Onda yoga which runs English speaking classes only 2 blocks from the apartment on the same street. You can pay as you go and don't have to book in advance or your u can buy a weekly, 2 weekly...
