A shoe store with the trendiest and best made shoes I've ever worn! Models designed after 50s sport shoes. Great colors combinations, and made by hand! The owner told me he sells most of the shoes and sneakers in Denmark and Japan. They have a museum with tons of 40s and 50s sport shoes.

I'm from Germany - I'm renting an apartment in Buenos Aires, and I'm very satisfied with the neighbourhood and the neighbours. I'm living in Recoleta, Buenos Aires. The place is awesome and the people are friendly, too. Also,I'd recommend an apartment (Alojargentina) rental agency because they did a great job. The agency was an important support for me. I'm happy here - my tip is to choose to live in Recoleta when you go to Argentina.

Recoleta is near downtown
On our visit to Buenos Aires we stayed at the Casa Bolivar and it was excellent. The apartments are nicely presented with a kitchenette and are very clean. Breakfast and internet access are available in the main area.
The apartments are located in San Telmo, a 5 - 10 minute walk from the main area of San Telmo (Avenida Defensa) and a 15 - 20 minute walk from La Boca.
