We stayed in the "green room" and it was just as charming as the photo is. It would be hard to find more helpful and caring hosts, from helping us lug our heavy suitcases up a flight of stairs to the really cool, old fashioned elevator to helping us find a close by money exchange place to wonderful conversation with Maria on the rooftop patio with a beer and some cheese and crackers. Maria is also a talented artist and we were excited to buy a mate cup from her to take back. (You will find out what that is when you get to Argentina. ;) We felt like the neighborhood gave us a true feel for a Buenos Aires neighborhood. It was only one block from the very busy Santa Fe street, which had more buses going by than we had ever seen and that would be great for wanting to get around , but we were only there for two days and then flew off to Iguazu Falls and then Bariloche. At end of our trip, we are going back to B.A. and will experience staying in the quieter part of Palermo Soho.
