The flat is in the middle of the action, so it won't suit people who are looking for a quiet retreat - for the rest of us, though, it is perfect: there is a gentle soundtrack from the nearby Plaza Dorrego all afternoon and evening, as well as the sounds of a busy city going about its business. Everything in the flat is in good working order. Grisel went above and beyond as a host. She provided an extremely thorough and helpful guidebook as soon as we booked and provided us with a variety of advice and assistance during our stay. We already miss Buenos Aires and our San Telmo home.
