When I was in Argentina a few years ago, I was introduced to a family who have been locating properties where they could create small apartments to be used as vacation rentals. They took us to see one they had recently finished.
It was located in this beautiful old building in the San Telmo area of Buenos Aires, right in the heart of all the activity on the streets.
We stepped through those wonderfully ornate doors to find a weathered looking hallway that fit perfectly with the historic look of the building.
When the door to their apartment was opened, it revealed a wonderfully modern interior comfortably fitted with everything a vacationer could want. The living area had a television and fireplace and those wonderful stainless steel stairs leading to the two comfortable bedrooms and baths above.
The kitchen had everything one might need to cook up some breakfast or even whip up a gourmet meal if the renters wanted.
The dining area was perfect for a family gathering or for an elegant dinner party. And, they had supplied lots of wine glasses so that renters had a nice way to savor some of that fabulous Argentinian wine.
So when you are visiting a foreign land and you see those grand old buildings with the well-used doors, you just never know what you might find inside. It could be a modern vacation paradise.

That looks very good, so modern behind that old facade.
A wonderful Building. I Love the historic Outlook. The innerdesign is very good
Gosh! You just never know what's behind the doors.
They did a wonderful job. It is gorgeous!
How lovely!
Great post, Sharon, and thanks for taking us inside the building. I would not mind spending a couple of weeks there, even though we don't cook much. But there must be a plethora of restaurant possibilities nearby, right?
A unique charm outside and inside.
Lots of stainless steel in that place.
