Casa Kohli is an amazingly unique place to stay, so much so that when our first week was up, we chose to stay there again for the rest of our time in BA! (We had originally planned to stay in Palermo for a bit.)

The building used to be an old textile factory and was built up by Emilio himself into quirky units with beautiful vintagey details. It isn't sleek luxury, but climate control was great, everything was comfortable and quiet, the terrace (oh my the terrace!) was lovely and intimate.

Flavia manages Casa Kohli for Emilio, and speaks at least Spanish, English, and Italian fluently. She arranged the cab for us from the airport and was welcoming and accommodating from the start. Both she and Emilio live in the building so they're there if you need anything.

It's a 3 min walk to the C/E subte station and under 10 mins' walk to Plaza Dorrego and the weekly San Telmo fair. San Telmo is a great neighborhood full of grit and character (though the dog owners nearby don't seem to clean up much). Plenty of supermarkets (incl. Carrefour), bakeries, and veggie stands nearby.

Staying at Casa Kohli is highly, highly recommended.
