Hello all, Roe here from Lake Tahoe Ca. I manage houses on Airbnb in Tahoe, so lots of experience here.
I stayed for over a month in Sophia and family's place. Overall it was a joy!
The apartment is in a very cool neighborhood in San Telmo with cobblestone streets and lots of shade trees. You can walk easily to bus, metro, little markets, supermarket, and tons of really cool restaurants. Lazema park is a block away is delightful.
The apartment is on the top (2nd) floor of a historic 1901 building. It has charming hardwood floors and red brick ceilings.
The main room is 17' square, plus tiny kitchen and normal bath. Sleeping quarters are up in the large loft, overlooking the place.
I wanted real Buenos Aires and that's what I got. The whole place and contents are in fair to funky condition, and it added to the Bohemian charm. The 20' tall red velvet drapes are the bomb!
The queen bed in the loft and single bed under the stairs are great.
The street in front has a lot of bus traffic, but it is not noisy with the gorgeous hardwood doors/windows closed. The Ac works great if it gets too hot.
The place really needs a nice sofa and coffee table, and really everything in the kitchen needs to be replaced or upgraded. I like to cook, and I did struggle there.
Sophia and family were very kind to me and supportive. They will be interested in your happiness.
All in all, despite drawbacks and shortcomings, it is a really cool place at a good value, and I would stay there again.
Saludos, y que disfruten!
