Lovely boutique hotel with just five artsy, gorgeous rooms mixing the tra-
ditional and contemporary. Some have a loft, cupola sitting area or Jacuzzi; floors can be
wooden or acid-finished concrete. There's a warm atmosphere, with a small bar area and
a good, sizable breakfast. It's in a nontouristy, very local neighborhood within walking
distance of Congreso and San Telmo.
