Carlos Calvo apartment in San Telmo

Before I move to Lima posts, I want to share pictures of our San Telmo apartment. As hinted before, the Carlos Calvo apartment we stayed in for the 2nd week in BA was gorgeous. It really made the stay pleasurable because we could go out and do stuff, but also be completely happy staying at home. With a toddler, it was good to spend relaxed time at home so she could wind-down and nap. I could also cook food and feed Tesla at home to ensure she was eating a somewhat balanced diet. I think renting apartments vs. hotels is the way to go for sure.

Here is the iving room with a fireplace. It has a flat screen tv hidden in an antique cupboard (not shown) that matched the entrance piece (2nd picture). The owners have a great sense of style, and respected the old aspects of the original apartment while modernizing it too.
There were beautiful old French style windows that opened onto small balconies with decorated iron railings, and provided the living room with lots of light. 2nd pic is the loft space the owners created above the entrance and kitchen area to have an office and bedroom area.
Iron deco doors divided the main living area and the back bedrooms. There was a nice atrium area and hallway too. It was such a pleasure to walk between the living room and the bedroom. There was colored glass and a glass ceiling. When it rained we could hear it loud and clear (which we liked).
Guest bathroom with nice tile work. Kitchen area with modern stoves.
One of the guest bedrooms where we set up a crib the owners arranged for us. The master bathroom with dual showers - we loved that : )
What you see as you enter the master bedroom. To the left is a sliding door to a walk-in closet, then another sliding door to the bathroom. Another view of the hallway/atrium area as you walk towards the living room.

The apartment in general was super well-equipped from nice towels, soaps, spices in the kitchen, all pots and pans you would ever need, tin foil & saran wrap (stuff you wouldn't think of but in a pinch you are glad to find), and even nice coffee table books. There was a washer and dryer that made my life easier. Downstairs lived Hector and Maria, and elderly, very loving couple who helped us out when our lock broke. Maria became Tesla's instant grandmother, and she kept telling us we were all angels who had fallen from the sky....

I'd give this place 5 stars!
