We had a lovely cousins reunion at Lucy's peaceful San Telmo retreat over 10 days. Lucy and Manuel welcomed us with a thorough guide to the best Buenos Aires sights, eats, and events. The layout allowed each couple to have a beautiful private room and bath, whereas we all convened in the common room and patios for music, wine, and laughter. We easily found taxis day and night on our street corner, even during a strike. Palermo and Recoleta were 20 min cab rides. It's a short walk to San Telmo bars, cafes, restaurants and markets which were delightful, and of course the Sunday fair. On the block, there is a wonderful bakery and several corner shops for bottled water, beer, snacks. There's Wi-Fi in the common room, a stocked kitchen, and the always cheerful Marta the housekeeper kept the rooms in top shape. It's not noisy (except one barking dog) but do bring bug spray if you attract mosquitos like me. We really enjoyed our oasis in Buenos Aires!
