15 Reviews of Property 183228 San Telmo, Argentina

We just returned from 10 days in this great apartment. It is spacious enough for eight adults to be together for dinner or talking and yet everyone could have their own private space as well. The kitchen is great and we took advantage of the local foods three times to make our own Parilla!
The property manager is Ruben and frankly we all want to return just to spend more time with him and to have more of his great cooking! We were greeted at the airport by him, he showed us the apartment, gave us an amazing tour of the city and was helpful in just too many ways to list. He found us a tango show, tango lessons with Alejandro Puerta (a must) and a wine shop Vinotango (the best wine selection and ask the owner to sing for you).
The place was immaculate, well stocked with kitchen and household items, having 110 available was real advantage to our group of i-pad lovers. The wifi really made us feel at home.
The location in San Telmo made you feel immediately that you were a local. Everything from great bars, restaurants, shopping and sightseeing are within walking distance. The buses are also close by for those trips to other parts of the city.
If you are a family or a group of friends this is a great place to stay!

Hi, Ruben

Bob and I wanted to thank you for taking such good care of us on our recent visit to Buenos Aires.

Right from the moment we met your at the airport your knowledge of the city and its history enhanced our visit.

We especially enjoyed the day we spent with you touring the city using public transport. Lunch at the local restaurant was a highlight. Our comfort with the bus and subway system after that day really allowed us the freedom to tour the city on our own.

The tango show and the river cruise were both wonderful. We appreciated your help in arranging the tours.

The apartment was wonderful. It allowed us to spend some wonderful time with the kids that just wouldn't have been possible if we had rented hotel rooms. San Telmo was wonderful - the Sunday market, the area restaurants were highlights of our stay.

Thanks for your time and great care while we were in Buenos Aires.

Bob & Vivian

We (three adults and one teenager) stayed at this San Telmo apartment for 11 days in December 2011. The apartment was a perfect pied-a-terre for us to relax after long walks and excursions or to do a bit of work on the computer. We found it exactly as described on the website. The apartment is generously sized in a beautiful old building, nicely renovated, well maintained and very comfortable. As far as amenities, it is not missing anything. We loved that it was outfitted with 110V and US type sockets and a station that allowed us to charge our various iphones, ipods and ipads at night. It is close to many restaurants. Bus stops are only a couple of blocks away and the orange bike rental is right around the corner. Having rented this apartment on Carlos Calvo made our stay so much more pleasurable. We would recommend this place to anyone traveling to Buenos Aires.

My three friends and I just returned from spending 11 days in Buenos Aires, staying at this lovely, well-appointed apartment. Beyond the perfect location, spotless decor and friendly on-site management, what I loved most was how the owners of the apartment helped us prepare to have a really great time by sharing their insider tips and encouraging us to use their names at some really great restaurants and shops. Clearly they carry weight, because we were treated like family everytime we mentioned their names.

The owners are very thorough in their instructions and labeling of appliances throughout the apartment so that everything is easy to use. They even have wifi, Vonage and 110 power so if you're like our group, you can stay connected to home if you feel the need.

The location is close to more good restaurants than you could possibly enjoy in a year's time, and shopping is incredibly convenient, including being a block away from the best Sunday street fair this side of London's Portobello market.

The apartment is a bit bigger than it looks, so I encourage you to watch the video tour. I stayed in the bottom floor guest bedroom and it was plenty big enough, considering I felt the need to bring half my closet.

The value of this hideaway is very good and the convenience of having laundry and a gourmet kitchen cannot be underestimated. I would stay here again in a heartbeat and will recommend it my friends.

We recently stayed in this wonderful apartment for 8 days. Our traveling group have stayed in many VRBO rentals and we all agree that this one has been the best! The owners has done every imaginable thing to make the guests as comfortable as possible. From their detailed labeling and instructional blookets to their wonderful collection of information for Buenos Aires travellers... there was no detail omitted. The listing description was accurate and the photos do reflect the beauty of this masterpiece apartment. We had the pleasure of meeting Dina and Kerry during the last few days and personally congratulated them for their efforts in creating such a beautiful home away from home.
The location is ideal. A block from a major roadway and a block from the old town's square - Plaza Dorego where you can eat and savour tango dancing as well as sevillanas while eating a wonderful meal. The apartment is surrounded by many restaurants and cafes if you do not care to cook in the apartment's faboulous and well equipped kitchen. There are antique shops all around. A wonderful fair occurs on Saturdays that span many blocks where you can buy arts and crafts as well as antiques and clothing. You have minimarts and a fresh fruit and vegetable market close to the apartment for those who will want to use the apartment's kitchen. We had a fabulous time in Argentina and I know that part of it was because of our wonderful home away from home.

Everything was as described on the site. Nicely located in San Telmo, with the Sunday market just 1 block away. Also the guided bicycle rental was just around the corner (a must do). To discover the rest of BsAs taxi's are everywhere and cheap. Summarized a great home base for discovering BsAs, we highly recommend this appt.

We stayed here in early March and really enjoyed the beautiful property. Staying in San Telmo was enjoyable. Watching the Sunday night parade from our balcony was great fun. We would definitely recommend this property.

My wife and I spent our delayed honeymoon here last November and thoroughly enjoyed it. The apartment was clean, comfortable and centrally located. The managers were accommodating and genuinely friendly. We enjoyed exploring on foot for nearby shopping and dinning; we are big fans of the many nearby street side cafes! And when it was time to get in a taxi, most sights were within a ten minute ride. The location couldn't have been more perfect! I would definitely recommend this apartment for anyone staying in Buenos Aires!
