We stayed there at the beginning and at the end of our trip. The hosts were really helpful and made a lot of valuable recommendations regarding our onward journey. Breakfast is good and served on the rooftop terrace or in your room upon request. On Sundays there's an antiques market right in front of the house (be aware of the... More

We've had a very good stay here. This is a B&B so we knew not to expect all the facilities of a hotel. We had a comfortable bed and good shower with plenty of hot water whenever we needed it, everything kept clean and inviting. Everything looks better than the unmarked door and first flight of stairs might make some... More

I made a reservation on Venere.com and received confirmation from property. A few hours later I received a message from the property stating that my reservation had been canceled as I had requested. In that message they attached the cancellation policies stating that I would have to pay for first night. The problem is that I never requested to cancel... More

This place could be so great, just needs to clean up the entrance way (it was quite dirty when we were there) put some plants in the hallways and on the terrace and properly fix the rooms. The owners were on hols when we stayed and their sister was looking after the place. She was really helpful, got more towels... More

Basically, the two more important things are: Location and Owners. Amazing, only 5 blocks of the Casa de la Rosada (pink house) and 2 blocks of Puerto del Madero. Really we stay in the hearth of Fair Market on defensa street. Nice owners, very helpful. We feel like our house. Use the room on the top of house, next the... More

Pros: Owners are very nice and try to be helpful. The breakfast was simple (pastries, juice, ham/cheese sandwiches, coffee, tea, fruit) but nice. The locations is FANTASTIC for the San Telmo market. The place sits literally on the market route. You are also relatively close to Puerto Madero (good area for restaurants) and Plaza de Mayo (A historical place). Also,... More

There is a locked door at the bottom of a dilapidated building. You climb 2 flights of narrow stone steps with all your luggage. Reception is in a bare room; a low table has well-thumbed magazines. The bedroom we were shown had a futon-type bed near the floor and very little other furniture. There was no air-conditioning though the owner... More

This is a terrific place to stay. My partner and I stayed here for 5 nights on our first ever visit to BA. Marce and Juan Jose are hugely knowledgeable and great hosts - we were quickly able to make the most of our stay following their advice on where to go and what to see. Recommend this house and...

Great atmosphere and hospitality, we love to feel just like home and taste the best flavors of Buenos Aires and the beautiful San Telmo quartier. Excelent breakfast and amenities. Decoration brings the modern feeling of the city in the old constructions, and location is the best! Beside, Macela and Juan were great hostess, they help us a lot to find... More

I read all the reviews thinking this place was going to be fantastic, I was wrong. Yes it is in a great location and the owners might be friendly but my husband and I decided to eat the cost of the deposit we paid and stay some where else. When we drove up the hotel we didn't even know where... More
