BA is a huge city but composed of neighborhoods. Palermo is the neighborhood to be in; great local color, connections to public transportation, shopping, parks, etc. We stayed at this terrific cozy apartment with our favorite spot on Martin's balcony and planned our next day while sipping on a cold beer and watching life in BA take place. BTW, we rented here for two weeks- it was our home.
We appreciate the firm queen-size bed for a good sleep and two satellite channels in English (BBC and CNN). Two blocks is the DISCO supermarket for any cooking needs and a laundry only 3 blocks up Malibia for drop off at $3.50 US a load. What more can anyone ask for when looking for a home base to enjoy this wonderful city.
Look no further, just book it.
