San Telmo itself is the obvious call. It's walkable, packed with budget guesthouses, and has a steady backpacker presence thanks to its cobblestone streets, antique markets, and tango-in-the-plaza scene on weekends. You're close enough to walk to the museum in minutes, and the neighborhood's cafes and bars make it easy to meet other travelers without trying hard. Alternatively, Monserrat, just north, offers similarly priced budget stays with quick access to both San Telmo and the city center, useful if you want a slightly quieter base. Avoid staying too far north in the pricier Recoleta or Palermo zones unless you don't mind a longer commute; they're safe but cater more to mid-range travelers and cost noticeably more per night.
