The location of the apartment was a selling point, well within walking distance to the subway and all amenities. Buenos Aires is a great city and I was able to walk around in the middle of winter. The heat worked but the cold wasn't extreme either. I don't cook much but healthy take out is everywhere, especially Green Eat a few blocks away. I dealt with Carlos's assistant who came to clean and answered questions promptly. The studio was perfect for one person. It might feel crowded for two. The area feels safe to me. When old ladies walk their dogs past midnight in the streets, it's a good sign, and maybe I was just lucky but people appeared to be polite and helpful in the stores. No attitude or bad manners.
