Eleonora helped us book this apartment at the last minute. She was out of town but Milagros the caretaker was available all the time, really sweet and helpful with advice about the neighborhood. The apartment is a few blocks from the subway and it is about 20 minutes to downtown and 30 to Palermo and San Telmo. We used the subway during the day and took taxis home at night. Overall the apartment is a good deal!
