Norm’s place is a fantastic base for exploring Buenos Aires. Such a great location--literally 20 steps from the leafy plaza that is the beating heart of San Telmo: have a glass of Malbec, watch daily tango and peruse the amazing antiques at the Sunday feria. There are so many restaurants, bars, museums, shops and points of interest within a short walk, or a short ride on the many buses that pass through the neighbourhood to every part of the city.
The apartment is modern, but historic, spacious for a couple like us, with fast WiFi, pulsing hot showers, robust AC, a bright atrium dining room, personal touches that make it homey, and a pretty well-equipped kitchen. Despite being at the centre of the San Telmos action, it’s as quiet as a library. Norm was instantly responsive throughout our stay (despite being on the other side of the world) and Jose the on-site portero was helpful, funny and friendly. We stayed almost a month here and would not have stayed anywhere else.
