Perfect place in San Telmo

Review Submitted: 01/23/12
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!

Located in the "soho" of Buenos Aires, the owners have impressively restored this spacious apartment above and beyond. Everything was there that we needed and more. The layout of the apartment gave each of us the opportunity to have our own space, yet come together in the open space. The kitchen is world class. The other really good thing about staying at this apartment was the support we received from the owners. They generously gave us suggestions about seeing the "off the beaten path" Buenos Aires which made this vacation among the best we have ever had. We highly recommend renting this apartment.

The Best Place to stay in Buenos Aires!!

Great location on the top floor of an architectural gem. Across the street from a theater (real actors not film). Everything you could need is within three blocks (unless you need like a...bulldozer...that's ten blocks). Well maintained, gourmet kitchen (watch out those knives are SHARP!!). Awesome furniture (better than our house and we LOVE to decorate!) Stay with four friends and you can each have your OWN balcony (Don't cry for me Argentina...SING IT!) Two blocks away is "La Brigada" an Argentinean steak house owned by some soccer fanatics where they cut your steak with a spoon (and not a sharp spoon either)...if you say you can find a better steak anywhere YOU'RE A LIAR! On Saturday is the San Telmo Fair where they sell EVERYTHING! Antiques, Toys, Glassware, Food, Clothes, Records, it is AWESOME. To sum up, if you want to go to Buenos Aires...and you do WANT to go to Buenos Aires, save yourself a grand and rent this rockin pad for a week (and spend the extra money on drinks, spa treatments, and steak dinners!)

Recently myself and two friends spent ten days in this incredible unit. It has everything a person needs and then some. It's like living at home with a washer/dryer, phones to the U.S., wi-fi and and drop dead kitchen that would make any chef envious. The apartment is close to everything, the neighorhood is charming, close to markets and art fairs, shopping...you name it. I am VERY hard to please. Very. I loved this place and I could not recommend it more highly. If you have to see Buenos Aires, this is the only way to see it.

Buenos Dias Dina! We absolutely loved your apartment in San Telmo! It was exceptionally well furnished, both in the kitchen and elsewhere and extremely comfortable. You did a really nice job with the renovations. Even with the convenient modern appointments, your apartment maintains its historic and antique charm. We were especially impressed that you provided no-cost Vonage phone service, internet and 110 volt electricity – all a real plus for us while traveling. San Telmo is the perfect location for restaurants, nightlife, shops and tourist activities including watching the tango (and participating if one dares!) in Plaza Dorrego. We thoroughly enjoyed the Sunday feria with the many street vendors, actors, musicians, etc. while Calle Defensa was closed to car traffic. We found your location to be in a relaxed part of town, probably one of the best situated of all the places we could have stayed in Buenos Aires. It is a good place to come back to after touring other parts of the city. By the way your restaurant suggestions were superb! For others considering your property, they have our highest recommendations. Thank you so much for helping make our trip a wonderful experience! Sincerely, Margaret B (WV)
