Bouenos Aires Help

I find the best apartment hotels through Craigslist Buenos Aires. Most of the renters are Americans stateside with people in BA to manage the space. I took my parents in February and said in the heart of downtown for about $500 for a week for a two bedroom apartment. If you're looking for a studio or 1 br, the prices can get really reasonable.

The first day there, we took a day tour to get an idea of where we wanted to spend the most time. Definitely check out: Recoleta Cemetery, La Boca, Florida St. (if you're a shopper), the Pink House. Most places are fairly walkable.

My favorite places to eat (forgive me if I mangle the names): El Establo in downtown, Campo de Estilo in Puerto Madera, Montana Ranch in Recoleta.

My favorite tango show is at Cafe Tortoni rather than the big splashy ones.

I know UAL loads to EZE during the holidays suck. I've gone in September and February and gotten first or business both ways.

Thanks for the report, we were in EZE 2 years ago and will go back again and this time take the boat over to Montevideo.

Well, all this discussion about Buenos Aires has got me in the mood for a steak.

Sunday 6/22 DL 101, and Monday 6/23 DL 110 both have seats. I think I'll try to occupy one.

Should anybody else be interested, throw it on here or PM me.

Everthing is Bueno in Buenos Aires!

I might have but sis and I have decided on Guatemala--cheap car, Lake Atitlan and away we go....I fI had just spent 20+ hours in a metal tube to Cape Town, it would have been an option.

I'm looking at a mid January trip myself - are there any tips/back up plan advice folks have? I'll be riding Delta metal for what will probably be the first time and grabbing a generic ZED ticket as a back up, just in case...

there's new DL service starting Dec via jfk in case the atl flights look iffy
Hubby and I are thinking of going first time when he gets a chance to bid for dec or jan.

when you get down to dates, check back in here (of course you will!!)
I've looked at some apts to rent via tripadvisor members

I'm looking at mid January - depends when my freind has her vacation as I'll be staying at her place! Best way to do it - with a native!

Jumper--did you go already?? Anyone else lately??
We're looking at 6-10th and a great deal at Alvear Palace($225/night premier room: jacuzzi, bfast, taxes, 1 dinner, 1 wine tasting, gym/spa access, champagne arr, butler....) We are still considering doing cheap, but this is kinda once/lifetime--we can always come back for some charm like Miravida Soho or one of those Park Plaza properties if they discount. This has the 21% fee included which is a big chunk.
I'm too spoiled/old to really cheap it. I have to cut/paste lots of old info here--can't wait for you to add more new stuff!

**mrs767er** · 03-Feb-2009, 09:32 AM

Thought I'd answer myself and add this:
Jamsuites Hotel $75-$150
1551 Palermo (owned by same people small--5 bl;aocks apart) $80-1200 (pool)
Artsuites $130
Bobo--$150-$200+
MiraVida
Cocker
Rooney's
all in similar pricing
all discount for cash payments
one of the nicest BB was 1890 Hotel but odd dodgy hood at night

OK--who had the fabulous steak and where was it?? Fess up--we leave in a few days!

I had thought about doing a daytrip similar to Coloavs but then I heard about the new visa fee for Americans visiting Argentina.
$134
No thanks!
