We stayed in SanTelmo with our 2 sons in their 20’s for 10 days in June.
We totally loved it ! We had a great holiday and concluded for us SanTelmo was a great choice !
The apartment is charming -full of elaborate pieces of furniture which give the place a great deal of character.
It is spacious and in a great location and has everything you need.
Unfortunately we agree with a previous review - it has been sadly neglected and needs a great deal of tlc to achieve the standard that we would expect. The photographs do not reflect the reality !
We have given very detailed feedback to the fabulously warm and generous host Aisha who was so super helpful and attentive so hopefully things will be improved. (Unfortunately the owners live in Australia and have not visited in a while and it shows ! )
However we all agreed it’s rather ‘ shabby’ appearance with its rather dysfunctional appliances didn’t really impact on our stay . We loved all the bars and restaurants locally and in Buenos Aires.
Check out the Mercado for loads of quirky food stalls/cafes, the noodle bar round the corner, El Federal for a drink/ coffee / cheese plata ( traditional ). Also locally Grandes Carnicerías del Plata and Nápoles also Todo mundo club on the square for live and late music !
Further a field Don Julios for steak feast and Roux ( book ahead for both ).
Would so recommend popping into Dan Travel on Defensa ( 2 mins down the road ) they were so helpful and took the hassle out of booking trips to a local Ranch, Tango show and tickets to Colonia.
