This is a very stylish, beautiful period house in San Telmo. It’s huge, and has a large and pretty well equipped kitchen. The dining room is just amazing - over the top in the best and most memorable ways! You have easy access to the touristy part of the neighborhood - Plaza Dorego - but you’re several blocks removed on a side street. Parque Lazama is lovely and just one block away, as is Caseros and it’s wonderful, eponymous restaurant and other offerings. Street noise is unavoidable in a city as big and bustling as Buenos Aires, but the bedrooms were all buffered by the living room and the study from the street so they remained quiet for sleeping. It is an old house, so things like plumbing and door handles can be fussy - that just comes with the territory and for us was more than out-weighed by the aesthetic, the size of the place, and the huge center patio. Ximena responded promptly to all our questions and requests, and she provides a written guide to the house which is very helpful. Last but not least, Elizabeth, the local manager and cleaner, was very sweet and helpful throughout our stay.
