There's a real
home-away-from-home feel about this B&B that's full of thoughtful touches, like home-
baked bread at breakfast, enticing places to sit about with a book and a computer with in-
ternet connection in the attractive rooms, stocked with noble antique furniture. Singles
with shared bathroom in the appealing grassy garden are small but a good deal at
AR$350.

theless central and features excellent staff, good facilities and comfortable rooms, includ-
ing a duplex apartment out the back. Different grades of room differ chiefly by size. The

A block
away from the
peña
(folk-music club) action of Calle Balcarce, this intimate, comfort-
able place is nevertheless superbly quiet and tranquil. Run with a solicitous personal
touch, it's decorated with restrained elegance, and boasts super-comfortable beds and
friendly service. Superior rooms are slightly larger than the compact standards and de-
luxes have great hydromassage showers. Numerous hospitable details make this a
standout.

Book ahead to grab one of the five rooms at this exquisitely stylish yet comfortable
guesthouse. The second B here stands for brunch, served until noon. The color-themed
rooms are all different and all delightful. It's like staying at a friend's - you can use the
kitchen - but few of our friends have a place this pretty.
