A great base from which to experience eclectic Buenos Aires. Conveniently situated in middle class Palermo/Once barrio in the heart of the tango district with lots of great shopping, restaurants and proximity to subways, buses and even walking distance to the centre for walkers who don't mind covering a few km by foot - a great way to experience the atmosphere of the different barrios. Although Carlos lives in Amsterdam and his regular hostess was away, he dealt with our queries promptly and mostly to our satisfaction when contacted by text/e-mail. We would recommend his place to anyone who is comfortable with living in an authentic, middle class neighbourhood and an older apartment, which gives the feeling of past grandeur.
