We had a lovely time at Julieta's charming flat in Retiro during our stay in Buenos Aires. The apartment was spacious enough for the two of us and also offerred a balcony to sit out and extend the living space. The cool "peak through" living room wall keeps the bedroom area well lit in the daytime, although you may lose a bit of privacy if you want that. The location of this place is the real seller, being so close to Plaza General San Martin, Florida Street, as well as a short walk to Puerto Madero and the river shore -- we clearly benefited from being a 5 min walk away from the Buquebus Ferry terminal for our ferry to Colonia one day. The streets around this area are walking first streets where there is little to no automobile traffic during the weekday daytime hours (since its the bustling business/banking/financial district). There are also lots of restaurants and bars all over this area so its a great place to roam around on foot and get to sample all the food options. While the area is well frequented at night, it is much quieter than the daytime due to the office-center nature of the area. Finally, while the neighborhood has its own historic buildings and charms, its big bonus for us was the proximity to the main historic/cultural sites in town like Plaza Mayo, Tribunales, Obelisco, and Avenida 9 de Julio (among many others). Definitely recommend this comfortable and lovely place for your stay in BA!
