Best place in Recoleta to exchange USD for ARG Peso

[MJO]

Fellow Expats,

I will be arriving in BA shortly. Can anyone recommend an exchange shop in Recoleta with best rate to exchange USD for Pesos?

Many thanks and Happy New Year!

Personal favorite in Recoleta: https://maps.app.goo.gl/PgmPZrs6vSLp6jpz9 Azcuenaga 1193 - GIRARG Money Transfer. Like other businesses (Pago Facil etc.) pays sufficiently close to the blue rate that you will probably not want to bother searching out a cueva. Safe street, safe place. The main trick is to find a location close enough to you for convenient transactions.

Note this is a frequent topic in this group and a search on terms such as cueva or currency exchange, etc. will provide more than you care to know.

I use this location when I need to change.

This one was closed and taped up with a judicial order pinned on the door on Friday 13 December. Has it re-opened?

I did not know that. I have not been by there for a few weeks.

Does anyone have a recommendation for a good cambio place near villa crespo/paternal?

Av. Sta. Fe 1126 local 1, C1059 Cdad. Autónoma de Buenos Aires

This is near the corner of Ave 9 de Julio/Cerrito
Not far from the other suggestion and if you are going to Florida and do
not want that exchange experience this is a great option.
