Buenos Aires B&B - 1555 Malabia House

[aztex]

Just wondering if anyone has stayed at this B&B recently and what your impressions were? Also, is this part of the city, Palermo Viejo - Soho, a good location for shopping, restaurants and seeing the city?

 

Thanks for any input.

If it's in Palermo - then it's in a good section. If you use mapquest and tell me exactly where it is - I can give you more definitive information.

Jerry,

 

Thank you for your help. The neighborhood is Soho Porteno and the location is 1555 Malabia, between Honduras and Gorriti. It is 2 blocks from Plaza Cortazar y Palermo Viejo. Av Scalabrini Ortiz and Armenia are the other streets that enclose the block.

 

Hope this helps pin it down.

Hi - I know that area well. It happens to be where I first lived in a temporary apartment before the embaassy gave me a permanent residence. It's in a good area - within walking distance of the U.S. Embassy - near the zoo (which is not very spectacular) - near the botanical gardens. You have a disco supermarket around the corner and you're not far from Santa fe - where there is plenty of great shopping - including a ffairly new mall. As I stated previously, anything in the Palermo section (Palermo chico or Palermo viejo) is pretty good! There are plenty of good restauraants in the area - but one of the best iss opposite the embassy - called Rio Alba - they have great beef.

Muchas Gracias, Jerry. Yo voy a Buenos Aires en 2006, but we plan to stay at 1555 Malabia for a few days prior to our cruise. Sounds like a great location for what we have in mind.

 

La informacion es muy importante para mi viaje, mil gracias.
