Mariana's place was everything we expected and we were very pleased with our visit. We were out visiting a friend and were able to easily walk to or take a short cab ride to most places we wanted to visit. With the apartment being in San Telmo you are walking distance to an awesome market down the street and located on Defensa which is fun to stroll down any day of the week but especially on Sunday when they basically shut the street down and host a market that stretches for many blocks (This happens every Sunday). The area is surrounded by awesome cafes, restaurants, and cool bars as you explore the city. The area is also very safe as most streets are well lit at night. Highly recommended if you are visiting the city for the first time and want to experience the culture and history that BA has to offer.
