We wanted to spend 3-weeks in Buenos Aires & the most economical way is, of course, to try and find an apartment for this duration. This apartment exceeded our expectations. You will undoubtedly find cheaper studio apartments during your search in nearby areas, but this one stood out for its great location in the Palermo Hollywood neighborhood, the bigger size of what is considered a studio, nice modern/comfortable-looking furniture, well-stocked kitchen, strong wifi connection, close proximity to public transportation, and a very nice/helpful host who lives in the same complex. The place looks just like the photographs, no gimmicks. Overall, we wanted to experience BA as a local resident, albeit a temporary one for 3-weeks, and this place made us feel like porteños! The apartment was very quiet on the second floor. It is secure with a locked gate and a guard on duty. It is literally surrounded by restaurants, bars, and cafes every which way you walk. There are lots of parrillas as well as Palermo Hollywood being a hub for ethnic foods such as Indian, Vietnamese, Japanese, Peruvian, American, neopolitan pizza, vegetarian, organic, etc. It is a foodie paradise. There is a decent grocery store on the corner of Bonpland and Gorritti, as well as a Chinese-owned market nearby on Costa Rica and Fitz Roy. A very large supermarket, Jumbo, is a bus ride #166 (or 20-30 min walk) away on Humboldt. On Bonpland is also a very nice organic market with local farmers selling produce, meats, and grains. Between the local neighborhood markets and vegetable/fruit stands, we had everything we needed to cook in the well-stocked kitchen. Palermo Soho is only a 5-10 minute walk across the train tracks for some nice boutique shopping. The weekend artisan fair at Plaza Serrano also has a nice variety without fighting the crowds at Feria San Telmo. During the day, the nightclub floor space opens up to boutique vendors selling their clothes in this space! Genius. We either walked or took the subte (subway) to most places. The Palermo subway station is less than a 15-minute walk to Santa Fe, which will get you anywhere in BA for 50 cents. We did take the bus route 166 up Humboldt several times. Buying a bus route guide at a kiosko would have helped us get around by bus a lot more. Many days we just hung out around our own neighborhood and had no need to venture out. The apartment has a large flat screen TV, but is not connected to any cable service. There is a DVD player and our host has plenty of movies you can borrow. One of the more important things for us is a strong wifi connection. We had no problems with the wifi. We were able to do all our communicating, blogging, uploading of photos, streaming music and videos, and general Internet surfing without any problems. The only initial downside to the apartment was a lack of a washer/dryer in the...
