This place is a real gem. It's bright, roomy, clean, has huge windows and is well stocked. We have to work a bit when we travel so we really appreciated the full-sized table where both of us could spread out with our laptops. Plus there is a breakfast bar so we didn't have to clear the table when we wanted to eat. The couch was a comfy place to relax at the end of a long day of sight-seeing. The queen bed was top-notch and the black-out drapes were a big bonus with the early spring-time sunrises. It was super-deluxe having one and half bathrooms. As if all of that wasn't enough, the washing machine is a huge bonus as well. Our clothes dried in a snap on the rack provided on the veranda. We cooked a fair bit and found everything we needed for simple meals. We had easy communication with our host and she checked in often to make sure all was well. This part of San Telmo (or Monserrat) is in transition, so there is a real mixed bag of dingy kiosks, new restaurants, ancient restaurants, industrial retail, dense family housing, abandoned store fronts, all next door to new hipster hangouts. The nearby streets are definitely not touristy, but they have everything a tourist needs. Some tips - There is a cool sliver of bookstore a block away. They have coffee and poetry readings. There was a Claro store less than a mile away where we went first thing to get a local SIM card. It was crazy cheap with plenty of data for our 8 day trip. Check out the bike tours at BA Bikes (also a short walk) we loved our first tour so much we went back for a second. We would stay here again in a heartbeat. The location and amenities can't be beat.
