Good location, bad view
The location is good because it is in an area close to parks and tourist attractions. However, the view from the room is not nice, overlooking a courtyard full of buildings.

Cultural Highlights in Buenos Aires
Buenos Aires is a large city, but with many parks and trees, making it a pleasant place to walk around. The tango show exceeded my expectations and was incredibly enjoyable. The National Museum of Fine Arts was fascinating, featuring paintings by famous artists such as Picasso, as well as historical artworks depicting Argentina's rich history. A beautiful book shop is also very attractive for me.
