The school:

The San Martin Language School is located in the city of Buenos Aires, Argentina and provides an ideal setting:

• Quiet neighborhood within short walking distance of downtown.
• Close to many restaurants, bars, and cafes.
• Easily accessible by bus lines and the Subte (metro).

Whether sitting at an outdoor cafe watching the beautiful porteños (local name for locals), dancing salsa until morning, playing soccer in the parks, or taking in a world famous Tango show, cosmopolitan Buenos Aires provides entertainment for everyone.  The city is indeed large (three million residents), however it is very walker-friendly and public transportation (metro and buses) offers fast and efficient movement between all of the traditional neighborhoods. 

Even with the energy supplied by the porteños and the nightlife, Buenos Aires is a remarkably safe city at all hours and lacks the machine gun toting police guards prevalent in many large Latin American cities. Also uncommon in this part of the world, drinking the local tap water presents no problems.
