Perfect location, safe building, wonderful hospitality in fashionable Recoleta! If you'd like to live among the wealthiest portenos at an affordable price this is the place. You can easily walk to Cementerio de la Recoleta (find Evita's tomb), exclusive shopping on Av Alvear, and fun street fair shopping and music at Feria Artesanal, Plaza Intendente Alvear (where I bought virtually all of my gifts) all in one day. Don't miss the stunning El Ateneo bookstore. You can even walk to all the wonderful BA museums and parks from the apartment, including my favorite, Miuseo de Arte Latinoamericano de Buenos Aires (Malba). The pizza restaurant 3 doors down is also excellent easy dinner if you need a quick bite. Also, a quick cab ride to the trendy Palermo neighborhood, a little further to San Telmo for tango. All in all, a perfect location to see all of BA, my only regret is that we only had 3 days in Recoleta. Fabiana and Gerardo were wonderful hosts and were able to point us in the right direction for all the things we wanted to do. I recommend the Lonely Planet BA guide book too.
