Up Barrio Norte
For the price, this is an excellent place to stay while visiting Buenos Aires. You are a ~15 minute walk from all the major downtown sites. The neighbourhood itself felt very safe, even at night. The staff were very helpful. The water/coffee/tea in the lobby was appreciated. The room itself is sufficient. ...
