Nice, cozy flat in a safe neighborhood, Almagro, which is mainly residential—not many charming or historical touches such as cafes, restaurants, old buildings or sites of interests, but many little shops for convenience: verdurerias, carnicerias, several organic/health/bio shops, a good, reputable fish market very nearby, a 24-hour pharmacy. One little bio shop is just steps away, on Córdoba. Owner Gaston speaks good English and is also full of helpful tips on the area, BA and Argentina. There is a really nice farmers market on Saturdays in the park right there, where some vendors accept credit cards and debit cards. Maybe ten blocks away there is a cluster of maybe five nice little restaurants. Robesa is one of them. Also, it’s a tango club area; Catedral and others are nearby.
The layout of the flat is really nice, with the bedrooms on opposite sides. I felt like I had my own little sitting area at a table in the enclosed terrace area just outside my bedroom. One nice little feature in the bedroom is a couple of USB device-charger outlets in the wall.
Thank you, Rogelio, for a very pleasant stay, and for some of the extra tips and help you provided.
