Palermo is a great neighborhood and Augusto was an excellent host who speaks perfect English. The power went out upstairs, I emailed him and received a phone call 30 seconds after sending him the email. He came and fixed it immediately. Also, he left a bottle of champagne since he knew my girlfriend was flying down from Brazil to meet me. The spa was one of my favorite things about the house. Make sure to read the directions carefully before use. You must run the hot water until it cools off, turn off, wait 3 minutes, turn it on and it will be hot again. Bring paper cash when visiting Argentina and exchange it for up to 13 to 1 - unofficial rate. The official rate is just 8.14 to 1. I would highly recommend staying in this neighborhood but also exploring San Telmo for a more traditional experience. We paid just $6 USD for tango lessons and and amazing show with the locals in San Telmo. Palermo is more modern, artistic and hip but seems less traditional and more expensive. Also, if traveling in winter time I would highly recommend taking the ferry to Colonia in Uruguay. In the summer time, I hear Uruguay has nice beaches near Punta del Este. Augusto helped make our experience in BA a great one. Next time, he will cook for us!
