I'm curious because a tanguera friend from Minnesota is planning her first trip to BA and saw the ads for these places on Tango-A. Good deal, bad deal -any feedback would be much appreciated.
I know the street corner of Ayacucho and Lavalle, but I have never seen the apartments. If you want to sleep after being out dancing until 3:00 in the morning, this isn't the location for you. There are bus lines on both streets. That means constant traffic and pollution. If you have heard this from those who have rented there, then believe it. The apartments are advertised as being in Barrio Norte. They are located in the El Once wholesale shopping district of the barrio Balvanera, one block from Corrientes which is the main street to downtown. The apartments are two blocks to El Beso, but that is one of the most difficult milongas to break into as a tourist. They are close to La Nacional, but the milonga is not worth attending. Nino Bien is mainly tourists. The going rate on temporary rentals is about $800USD per month. The Belle Epoque apartments at $930 and $1,200 are overpriced in my opinion. I know of other nice apartments for less than what Laura Chummers charges. _______________________________________________ Tango-L mailing list [email protected] http://mailman.mit.edu/mailman/listinfo/tango-l
