Appartement élégant à San Telmo avec piscine et salle de sport, près...

Automatic cancellation review: The host has canceled a booking 3 days before arrival.

I stayed here for about a week and overall was very happy with the apartment and the value for money. The price was excellent for Buenos Aires, and the building feels modern and secure. The rooftop pool and gym are a big plus, and I liked having a proper kitchen so I could cook when I didn’t feel like going out. San Telmo is an interesting, historic neighborhood with a lot of character. Plaza Dorrego and Calle Defensa are an easy walk and absolutely worth exploring – antique shops, street art, cafés, markets, and plenty of people-watching. There’s also a hop-on hop-off bus stop nearby in front of the Museo de Arte Moderno, which was useful for sightseeing. One thing to be aware of: most group tours in Buenos Aires do **not** pick up in San Telmo, so you’ll probably need to use Uber or a taxi to get to the typical meeting points (usually Centro, Recoleta, or Palermo). Not a deal-breaker, but good to know when you’re planning. The apartment itself was clean and matched the photos. My only real comfort issue was the bed – the mattress was much firmer than I prefer, though some people might like that. The bathroom has only an **overhead (rain-style) shower**, not a handheld one, which I personally don’t love, but the **water pressure was very good** and there was plenty of hot water. Wi-Fi worked well. The TV/Netflix instructions in the PDF guide were slightly out of date, but with a little trial and error I got everything working. For practical stuff: * I drank the **tap water** in the apartment the whole time with **no problems**, so in case you’re wondering, it’s safe to drink. * Make sure you have ************, because Diego (the building super) uses it to coordinate check-in and let you into the apartment. * Laura, the owner, was kind and helpful, and the PDF guide she sends has a lot of useful information. If you need to reach her quickly, I recommend texting her directly, because she may not always see in-app messages right away. I also recommend buying a **round-trip ticket from the official taxi stand at Ezeiza Airport**. The price for the round trip to San Telmo was very reasonable for about a 30-minute ride each way and it was completely hassle-free. One logistic issue that’s worth mentioning: many international flights into Buenos Aires arrive very early in the morning (before check-in) and depart late at night (long after check-out). In my case I had to be out of the apartment at 10 a.m., but my airport taxi wasn’t coming until 5 p.m. I used an app called **Radical Storage** to find a nearby hotel that stored my bags for about six hours, and that worked perfectly. I highly recommend it if you have a similar gap between check-out and your flight. Buenos Aires itself is a fantastic city and I always felt welcome; people were very friendly. I speak Spanish, but I had to adapt quickly to the local use of *vos* instead of *tú*. Food is obviously a matter of taste, but I personally found a lot of restaurant options fairly expensive and a bit bland, so I ended up cooking quite a lot in the apartment. Definitely try **alfajores** while you’re here, though – those were a highlight. In summary: a solid, comfortable base in San Telmo at a great price, with helpful hosts and good building amenities. Just be aware of the firm bed, the overhead-only shower, the need to Uber to most tour meeting points, and the early-arrival/late-departure timing issue, and you’ll likely have a very good stay here.

L'appartement était propre et très pratique pour accéder à San Telmo. Laura et son équipe ont été réactives à nos besoins. Excellent rapport qualité-prix et la piscine sur le toit et la terrasse étaient un excellent bonus.

Ma première fois à Buenos Aires. Laura était toujours disponible pour répondre à mes questions. Diego gardait l'endroit impeccable. Je me suis toujours senti en sécurité et à l'aise. Il était facile de trouver les transports car les bus et les trains sont très proches. J'ai vraiment apprécié la terrasse sur le toit, surtout pour voir les feux d'artifice en soirée du Nouvel An. J'y retournerai...
