We grew to like Palermo very much and the apartment was extremely convenient for local good stuff such as the gardens and some of the museums. Near to the subway for stuff further afield. Graciela was extremely helpful and responsive to questions.
The cafe below was just lovely and very reasonable as was the fantastic tapas bar just a couple of blocks down towards the parks. It looks like a deli but there are tables.
Word of warning - dog poo is everywhere so keep your eyes peeled. It and the volume of litter does get cleared regularly but is soon replaced.
Was sad how quickly we became used to people sleeping on the streets but it was all over Buenos Aries.
Lots of very good things to do in the city and suggest the free guided walks as a staring point. A day trip to Tigre was another high spot. You can get there very cheaply by train and just go on a local boat, not a tour one. Much more fun.
The turbulent history of the country is referred to in many places and even now there are regular demonstrations on the streets.
Fascinating city
