The Sprawling Metropolis of Buenos Aires
Buenos Aires is the third largest city in South America, a sprawling metropolis offering travelers a rich history, eclectic culture of art, music and incomparable nightlife. Buenos Aires's identity lies in its 48 neighborhoods, each with its own character and history. The city has a European feel to it with city blocks filled with cafes and sophisticated shops. Tourist must-sees include the Plaza de Mayo, El Centro, San Telmo, La Boca, Palermo, and La Recoleta. Schedule time for a siesta to allow you a lengthy night out at a club, bar, or performance, or an evening of tango and visit one of the neighborhoods' outdoor arts-and-crafts and antique markets.
Elegant Bed and Breakfast, Centrally Located
Located in Colegiales, a small, quiet and safe neighbourhood within walking distance of Palermo Hollywood and the ‘Soho’ district of Buenos Aires, B&B OLLEROS 3000 is run personally by Claudine, a Belgian who specializes in hospitality management, and her husband Juan, an architect and art historian. The innkeepers speak English, Spanish, French, and understand Italian.
The house was built in 1903, completely renovated in 2001. It preserves its original character and tastefully combines the old and the new. The lovely sun patio, full of plants and flowers, is a privileged place to have breakfast in the open air. However, because of its many staircases, the house is not suitable for disabled people.
Within walking distance: the Flea Market, the New Design area (Palermo). At only 20 minutes by car or subway: the historical centre.(Teatro Colón, Plaza de Mayo, San Telmo, La Boca, Puerto Madero)
