We thoroughly enjoyed our stay at 2041 Uriarte. The apartment was even nicer than described. It was the perfect size and in an excellent location (Palermo Soho). It was extremely well stocked with dishes, glasses, cutlery, towels, bed sheets, maps, guidebooks and even an unlocked cell phone. The WIFI was powerful as well. The apartment was more like a large studio, as there was not a separate bedroom. It easily accommodates a couple and has a large amount of closet space.

Piper Nilsson, a U.S. citizen, was amazing. She came over several times with her adorable baby and provided advice and suggestions about the neighborhood. We have recommended the apartment to friends and will definitely stay there if we return to Buenos Aires.

Foodies will enjoy Lattente - amazing coffee and latte art, Thames 1891 and Malambo - wine shop with a variety of cheeses and salamis, Thames 2098, owners of both speak English. Also, check out the Juice Bar, which is a couple of blocks away and Don Julio (3 blocks), probably the best steakhouse in BA. There is a reasonably priced and honest laundromat about 2 blocks away (ask Piper).

A couple of tips: Bring U.S. dollars, preferably in $50 and $100 denominations, since the blue market for dollars is more than 50% higher than the official rate. Piper knows where to exchange money. Hide you cell phone in your bags when landing at the airport, as there are pick-pockets abound. Restaurants routinely give discounts if you book on-line (ask Piper). The subway (Subte) is about 5 blocks away, but is an excellent mode of transportation and cheap. Taxis are plentiful and reasonable priced, but there is a lot of traffic in BA.
