The apartment was ideally situated in Barrio Norte within walking distance of Recoleta and Palermo. Now, walking distance to Palermo is quite relative as that area is huge! But fear not - the Subte is just a skip away down the block and takes you everywhere. We took the Subte and walked to Plaza de Mayo, Palermo's main sites, San Telmo, Barrio Chino (their China Town) in Belgrano -- you name it. With any major Latin American city, any light sleepers might encounter some loud sounds, especially being on a busy street in Ave. Santa Fe (which is just fantastic to be situated on as you have everything at your fingertips and very safe). Make Delicity down the street your local cafe and make yourself at home! Mike is just a call away if you need anything. Be sure to read his suggestions and guidebook too -- fantastic info in there. You will love your stay!
