La Baldosa

WHY HERE
Everything you came for is on foot
Flores is not the Buenos Aires of the guidebooks. It is a working, lived-in barrio on Avenida Rivadavia — which is exactly why dancers like it. You are inside the city's tango life rather than beside it, and you can walk home from the milonga.
La Baldosa, at Salón El Pial
One of the city's best-loved traditional milongas, on Ramón L. Falcón. Friday nights, live orchestra most weeks.
Plaza Flores and Subte Line A
The oldest underground line in the Americas runs straight down Rivadavia to the centre. Minutes to Plaza de Mayo / microcentro.
Buses along Avenida Rivadavia
Colectivos at all hours, in both directions, lines that reach Palermo / Villa Crespo — Canning, Villa Malcolm, La Viruta
Supermarket, greengrocer, cafés
Everything for a long stay is on the same few streets, so you can cook and live here rather than eat out every night.
THE APARTMENT
One bedroom, high up, and quiet at night
A bedroom with a queen bed and a mirrored wardrobe that runs the width of the wall. A living and dining room that seats six. A full kitchen, properly equipped — not a token hob and a kettle. A four-piece bathroom and a central heating.
It faces the sun for most of the day, and on the eleventh floor the traffic on Rivadavia is something you look down on rather than listen to.
