Maria's apartment is centrally located in a quaint building in one of Buenos Aires' most traditional neighborhoods, San Telmo. It is walking-distance to bars and cafés full of Porteño history. It is also a short taxi-ride away from most of the important sights in the city. You probably won't meet Maria, unless she's in town from Uruguay, but that's okay because she is quick to respond to any of your messages and her assistant, Jose Luis, is a gem! My husband and I befriended him quickly and were lucky to have him for recommendations and suggestions for sight-seeing and navigating around Buenos Aires. He wants all guests to return home with a good impression of porteños and we did. We even want to go back soon just to see him. The apartment feels like a home away from home. It is cozy with a courtyard view and cute antique decor reminiscent of what the San Telmo Barrio is known for. We would definitely return to Maria's apartment when visiting Buenos Aires.
