This is a classic conversion of an old San Telmo apartment. Like almost all apartments in San Telmo it is crumbling elegantly. It's less crumbly than most because it seems to have been renovated about seven years ago, but the plumbing (as with everywhere I've stayed in San Telmo) has its moments and the location of light switches seems pretty random. Also if (like me) you are six foot or over, you will crack your head on the odd steel beam. On the other hand, the location is perfect, there's space to dance indoors, there are lashings of hot water, it's remarkably quiet for Buenos Aires and Grisel is a constant source of reassurance and assistance. It has character and if you want to live in a San Telmo apartment, it's about as good as you're going to get. If not, characterless international hotels are readily available in the city.
