I second Ocho Once. We went there last night and had one of the best meals we've eaten in BA. To clarify, after living here almost 2 years, it was our first puerta cerrada but we eat out very often. I highly recommend it.
Hi there - please consider this my confirmation though I don't know yet what I will be bringing. If it's okay, I will post back with that when I have a better idea.
Cheers.
Hi there Paul.
You might be able to get a general idea using these three sites to search temporary rentals:
http://www.soloduenos.com - no broker's fee since it is "only owners"
http://www.enbuenosaires.com
http://www.zonaprop.com.ar
Good luck.
FWIW, in addition to the points ElQueso made, I went to Uruguay on a Saturday and couldn't get USD from any of the ATMs. Seems like it is a regular occurrence there (that they run out).
I also think you will have trouble finding a place for 6k there. Maybe not if it's unfurnished but most definitely if you need a furnished place. And if it's not furnished, I would really try to figure out the furniture budget beforehand and figure that into the equation.
