The neighborhood of San Telmo is like a town in Tuscany tucked into Buenos Aires. It's incredibly charming. Magdalena's classic antique Spanish-style apartment is up above it all on a quiet street. It's a charming, classic old building. Sharing the apartment with Magdalena, you're living with a real porteno -- a smart lively talkative retired but young-at-heart professional who knows everything and is happy to help you practice your Spanish, find your way around, share a meal, and have some good laughs about her adorable dog and cat, maybe even with a friend or two over a glass of wine. There's no better place to be based on a visit to Buenos Aires.
