Fair value in the business district
- Contact with Ana, Gabriel (in english) and also with Isabel (the caretaker, in spanish) was easy, always on time and helpful.
- Accomodation with a small and very basic kitchen. The heating was working well (I had to dry my cloths after heavy rainfall).
- Right, the accomodation is a bit dark because it is at the very fond of the building... but, that's why you can escape from street noise.
- WiFi: Very good (for argentine standard)
- Location: As the flat is in the business district, there are a lot of people during the day. But, when the offices close the neighbourhood gets a bit abandoned. (If you prefer a nightlife neighbourhood, Palermo is probably the better option for you.) There are several subway stations (subte) within 5 min walking distance. Also in walking distance (15 min) are some touristic sight like Cafe Tortoni, Casa Rosada or Puerto Madeiro (where you have really fancy restaurants like "la cabaña de las lilas") and also the Buquebus ferry terminal for trips to Uruguay. To the bus terminal "Retiro", it's about a 20 min walk. Just around the corner, there is the shopping street Florida that has become the street for money changing in these days. (There are a lot of guys willing for "cambio". Ask for the exchange rate and when you agree, the "cambio-guy" will guide you to his office anywhere in a building round the corner. It seems to be a bit strange but, that's the way it goes. To anticipate to exchange rate for "el dolár blue", check: http://www.lanacion.com.ar/dolar-hoy-t1369 or http://www.preciodolarblu.com.ar/ or http://www.cronista.com/ (When you are coming from abroad to Bs. As. take some cash with you to budget well. You'll get aprox. 40% more on the black market for USD/Euro in relation to the official market (ATM, creditcard-payment).)
