We just came back home from our little trip to the town...
Living far from the center has it's advantages (like it's safer... erm... sometimes at least) but the main disadvatage is having to sit on a bus for 1,5 hour one way.
Today we took our search for flat a bit more seriously and decided that guarantee or not, we'll just start calling all the offers that suit us price-wise and see what happens.
Believe it or not, but the second ad we called was the jackpot!
Okay, it can always be better, however I don't think we are in a situation to be picky. So here is how it goes.
The flat is in the very center of the city, in a neighbourhood called Retiro, on a crossing of two major streets - Av. Santa Fe and Av. 9 de Julio (which by the way is the widest street I've seen in my life...). The main Subte intersection is just a few blocks away so we can conveniently get anywhere we want. Click here for a map of the city.
The flat itself is very small, but it has all the four walls, a ceiling and a floor and a
couple of extras like bed, table and some chairs which is always welcomed, right? It even has a balcony with a beautiful view to Buenos Aires' "backstage" (all the houses look good only from the front).
We are immensely happy right now, so probably we'll go out and get drunk somewhere tonight, which always carries some side effects, like meeting interesting people and ending up early in the morning talking jibberish, that we profoundly believe to be the most genuine thing produced by our brains in a long long time...
Since it's Thursday I believe that most of you are delivering a similiar performance, so remember to rise your glasses once or twice thinking of us!
