I stayed at Bond's place for 5 weeks and I couldn't have been happier with my choice. Bond came and picked me up from the airport (a little cheaper than a regular taxi) and that was awesome after a long flight. I came specifically to study tango and was a 5-minute walk away from Fundacion Tango Argentino and a few bus stops away from Villa Malcolm and La Viruta.
The neighborhood is safe with:
*Some good restaurants (Rotindelle around the corner is where it's at!^^)
*A drop-off laundry around the corner and across from the gas station
*An ATM that takes foreign cards,
*2 supermarkets
*One of the best carnicerias in town (Piaf is soooo good!)
*A phenomenal heladeria named Occo (my 2nd home^^)
*A great bakery right across the street with chipas to die for
*Public buses that run downtown right around the corner from the house
If there was anything negative, it would be that I forgot to bring earplugs. The street is noisy and with a garbage can right in front of the apartment, it gets very noisy at pick-up time.^^
As far as pics are concerned, the kitchen is different (no table, but a shelf with a microwave and cooking items), and the living room is different, too (one long gray couch instead of two; and a taller cabinet instead of the longer shelving unit).
Overall, super happy with my stay at the apartment and will stay here again next time that I come.
