I had a great time staying here. Cristina never made an appearance, and it looks from other comments like that's generally the case. Instead, there's a lovely older couple who will help you with anything you need. I had a bright, clean room, with access to the dining room, fully equipped kitchen, and a beautiful terrace. There's even a washing machine if you want to do laundry.

The only possible drawbacks of this place are that it is in the southern end of San Telmo, which is far from other parts of the city. It also doesn't have a living room, but the dining room serves that purpose fine.

I would definitely recommend staying here if you want a quiet, inexpensive alternative to a hostal or hotel.
