Monseratt turned out to be a great neighbourhood to be based in while visiting Buenos Aires for the first time. It was safe, quiet (for such a big city!) and close to the city centre, San Telmo and transport. Best of all it isn't a big touristy area and is filled with everyday 'porteños' going about their day which we enjoyed.

Ruy was very friendly and helpful giving us a quick run down on the city and some personal recommendations when we arrived. The apartment itself was great and the view was fantastic. There is a supermarket in the same building which turned out to be very convenient and there are also some nice little restaurants very close.
