I spent 11 January nights in apartment 5C. It was excellent. I came back for another 9 nights in February, this time in apartment 3B. Regarding that apartment I can only echo my previous review shown under Neil 2016 - except that in apartment 3B there is no interconnecting door.

At first glance the area around the apartments may look intimidating; there is graffiti (squiggles) on almost every building (as there is also in other parts of Buenos Aires). But as you look around you see up-market marble-fronted apartment blocks intermingled with well-maintained and non-well maintained traditional old houses (some are in excellent condition).

Some pavements are potholed (tread carefully) but there is new pavement outside the newer buildings. The streets are well lit at night and women walk around safely on their own. You can hail a taxi from outside the door.

There is a police station one block away with police coming and going all the time. Within two blocks there are offices, hotels, numerous restaurants, bistros, bars, wine bars, antique shops, bookshops, offices and many small supermarkets and food shops,. There are major supermarkets on the major roads, three or four short blocks away.

In nearby Plaza Dorada you can watch Tango danced in the open air as you dine. On Sundays the Plaza hosts a large open-air market, where artists, among others, sell their wares.

All in all it is an entertaining and varied part of Buenos Aires. I shall be back.
