A little background into the 'review giver' is always good. I am on the road about 280 days a year, so I have specific wants and needs. In this case, I wanted a modern place, screaming fast internet, high ceilings, nice gym and FANTASTIC location. This building hit my requirements perfectly. I loved it! Ralf and his Team take care of you...need ANYthing and they are there for you as a safety net. I trust them and relied on them for many things, which they handled with aplomb!! Special thanks to Ralf and Tomas...great folks and hosts!

Location:
- 10 min stroll to Palermo Soho, which has great shops, restaurants, bars etc. Very trendy...think Burlingame in California, Itaim in Brazil or Soho in London...in terms of cool/trendy.
- less than a $10 USD cab ride to San Telmo (great neighborhood for tango in the streets and a great little square, antique shops and a more rustic feeling)
- $12 USD to Puerto Madero, which is more modern/new. Travel guides portray it as pricey...I travel tons and find everything in Argentina to be very affordable compared to other amazing cities...so don't be dissuaded
- 6 min walk to my favorite amazing Sushi joint [Osaka Palermo] with Peruvian flair [seriously, flavors will AMAZE you...as I eat sushi 4x/week, and they did me]. **They only take Amex or Cash.

Other Miscellaneous:
1. Go for a HASH RUN [both walkers and runners welcome]. Great people, fun and instant connections into the community.
2. Go to 'Friday Frinking' and tell Liam the Bald American sent you [he is great], as is the group. Combination of expats and locals, who are very welcoming. Every Friday at 9pm [find it on Meetup].
3. Epic Cigar Joint? Puro, at Thames 1920 [4 blocks from flat].
4. Great wine shop? 3 blocks. Corner of Thames and Guatemala. Get the 2008 De Angeles Malbec. AMAZING! Again, tell the owner high.
5. Starbucks is 12 min walk and just 1/2 block off a great square where you can always do something fun.
6. Plaza Serrano is 10 mins, where there are bars and restaurants at night, and on the weekends are converted into craft stalls and home made wonders. :)
7. Boca: the old port area with live Tango in the restaurants on colorful streets. Bring your camera, as the colors, character and picture-ness-esque of it is cool
8. Great, upscale bar: Milion at Paraná 1048. Converted mansion. If the weather is remotely warm, there is a back terrace and courtyard area that is amazing for a book or anything at all. They make crazy, fresh cocktails...or pour a stiff Jack & Coke!
9. Steak Places: everyone has a favorite...you cannot go wrong anywhere.
10. Craving Scrambled Eggs for breakfast: Bar 6, Armenia 1676 [great little coffee shop] ...Great, fresh juices? Right next door.

Hope this was helpful!
All the best
