Carolina's apartment is very nice, just like in the pictures. I felt comfortable and at home there. If you look at the map, the Belgrano neighborhood seems to be quite far away from the city-center, but as you have buses and the subway and even the train all within close reach of Carolina's place, you can get nearly everywhere quite quickly. As I have lived in different spots of Buenos Aires before, I especially chose this neighborhood for being tranquil and green, with a lot of older buildings. The average row of houses is much lower than in the more central places, so
you can actually see the sky and enjoy some air in the hot, humid summer.
What I especially liked about the neighborhood around Carolina's place is
that it is quite laid back “barrio”, which means that it is not full with
office-buildings or shops or always changing students or tourists but with
people actually living there, most of them their whole lives or even for
generations, as you realize when you see them greeting each other and
chatting on the street. But, on the other hand, it is not like a dormitory
town, where the streets are dead after nine a clock, but has a lot of
restaurants and coffeehouses.
