I stayed with my family at the Art Suites in Recoleta ([-]) for 4 nights in Nov of 2007. It was about a 5-minute walk to Recoleta Cemetery. If you’re looking for a hot spot, then the Art Suites is not for you. If, however, you’re with a group and you’re looking for just a taste of what it’s like to live in BA, then the Art Suites is perfect. I think most people who rent short-term apartments stay in Palermo Viejo or Soho. We probably would have liked it there too but Recoleta is more centrally located. (We never spent more than $10 pesos for a taxi from the hotel.) There were two grocery stores on the block, a fruit store on the corner and a several bakeries just a few blocks away. Our 2-bedroom apartment was super-clean, quiet and just what my family was looking for. The breakfast was the same every morning (just coffee and croissants) but we always ate a huge dinner so we were never hungry in the morning anyway. The concierge in the lobby helped us with dinner reservations, directions, etc.
