We got so lucky to have been able to make it here though. The only United flights that go to BA out of the US leave from Washington DC. Three feet of snow just shut down the airport this week on several different days. Our original flight was cancelled, and moved to Monday - the only day that the flight was able to leave for a whole week! But unfortunately our luggage wasn't so lucky. So our first thoughts were . . . it's hot and humid, and we had no clothes to change into.
But after a cab ride into the city we were able to see that this was going to be a great trip. The apartment we were able to rent is just fantastic (pictures below). Its in an area called San Telmo - famous for it's old history, good restaurants and the Tango dance.
The apartment is two stories with the front living room window opening right onto the street. It is old and worn - but the furnishings are fantastic! The garden room has an open ceiling to let the rain and sun in. Very comfortable and cozy!!

Hey that apartment is so classy! Very nice, it seems comfortable as well as distinguished and stylish. Sant Telmo is so full of history, this district was inhabited by aristocratic families. I also had an apartment for rent buenos aires there and it was awesome. While I was there I went to the Museum of Modern Art and El Solar de French Gallery which is an old place where the French patriot Domingo French lived, nowadays there is a trade gallery there.
