This is a charming, extraordinary house. Located in SanTelmo, surrounded by trendy or friendly restaurants and cafes, it is very convenient. Of course, it was sparkling clean, and we had every amenity (including fast internet)... but what was so special was the style and charm: turn of the last century apartment with 3 large bedrooms, 2 bathrooms, a great kitchen with covered verandah - dining room, living room, study - arranged around another veranda open to the sky... old world charm; appropriate furniture and decor - we felt like Evita might walk in at any moment. There were 6 of us old professors - but the place made us feel young and wanting to tango! Ximena's colleague met us and showed us the "character" of the house; and for any questions, Ximena was instantly available, even though she was on holidays in France. We happened to communicate in French - but Ximena also speaks English. This place was a treat that all 6 of us would happily recommend: don't miss out!
On different note: we kept hearing about "being careful" ....- not for a moment did we feel unsafe anywhere in Buenos Aires at any time, day or night: it is a cosmopolitan city with a great, international vibe and atmosphere!!! ...a very liveable and loveable city.
