San Telmo is a great place to stay if you're on a budget in Buenoa Aires. It has real character and there are some cheap hotels and loads of parillas to eat argentine steak in. Avoid the touristy cafes around the main square (with the exception of the wonderful old pub on the corner) as they are over-priced and the food is average.

Instead, head down any of the roads off the square and into any of the restaurants flooded with locals. The food and atmosphere are amazing and exceptional value for money. Also the San Telmo antiques market is a bit of a must (Sunday mornings I think), and you should get to see some tango there too.
