After 6 months of traveling through South America, staying in this lovely apartment in San Telmo was a treat. It is charming, quiet, well decorated, and very well located in a great neighbourhood. It very quickly felt like home to us. It was nice to spend time in the little courtyard, prepare meals in the kitchen, dine at the big table or relax in the living room watching a movie. Having a washing machine was a much needed bonus. And being a block and a half from Plaza Dorrego, the apartment is close to lots of great restaurants, bars and cafés, plus the San Telmo market. If you are there on a Sunday evening, go and watch the tango in the plaza.
As a host, Maria was great. She had lots of great recommendations for places to go and things to do in the neighbourhood. And when we had any questions regarding the apartment or Buenos Aires in general she was always quick to respond.
One more thing. In the description of the apartment it says not for tall people. I am 184 centimetres and I had no problems whatsoever.
