Abasto, Balvanera & Boedo
Print
These are the traditional tango districts. Staying in any of these areas will probably give you a “real neighborhood” feeling. They are all very well connected areas of town with a very busy commercial life. You should be able to find loads of supermarkets and cheap eateries.
Abasto is the Jewish district, where you will be able to find a lot of Synagogues and regional restaurants; it also hosts one of the biggest malls in town, the Abasto shopping center.
In Boedo you will be able to find some of the most important tango shows and milongas.
Balvanera is right in between.

This is also a great option for long term stays. Mostly used by local and foreign students. Weekly stays available for US$220. The onda (vibe): small, homey and quiet.

Pangea
A small (34 beds) and friendly hostel run by young people who claim to be able to know the names of each single one of the travelers staying with them! A beer and a game of pool would be waiting for you upon arrival. This is one of the hostels where you FINALLY won’t miss out on the free breakfast…They don’t have a time limit to serve it!
Once a week they organize a big free dinner for everyone to give you the chance to meet other travelers or just have a nice chat with the locals that work at the Hostel.
Other options in the area include LA MENESUNDA HOSTEL and CHE HOSTEL
