I wish I'd found Ojo months ago. I've wasted so much time being pissed about by other realtors in Buenos Aires and Palermo especially ... all of whom have proven, despite every initial charm, to be as deceitful as they are incompetent. Gabriela at Ojo immediately found me a sweet apartment to rent in Palermo and thereafter the house of my dreams, also in Palermo, which I bought for ... well I'll resist the temptation to show-off!

Bottom of the line, Ojo are going to cause a revolution with what seems to me to be their fabulous idea to help the homeless, of which they are of course far far too many in Argentina. I wish they had a branch of Ojo in Seattle ... and I guess every other city in the world with homeless problems.

Strong tip. If you've got any spare cash, buy a house in BA ASAP, the prices are still dirt cheap, but people seem to be flying in from all over the world to bargain-hunt ...
and where there is demand there is ... blah blah ... Good luck!

The Tortoni has become Tango's equivalent of the Hard Rock Cafe selling T-shirts and nonsense, with even waxworks of Borges and Gardel sipping coffees!

Infinitely more authentic, with just as much architectural style, is the Cafe Ideal in Suipacha (half a block from Corrientes). Even if you've got two left feet and never thought of having a tango lesson ... pinch your nose and go to one of the lunchtime beginners classes in English. They're a hoot ... and very cheap.

Suipacha, just up from Corientes.
