Thanks everyone, this is great! The right neighborhood will make or break the trip, so knowing I want near the Line D of the metro is a big help. I've been using Google Maps for things like metro stops; in other countries it's been up to date so I assume the same here, but I'll check out those resources.
I've now gotten multiple recommendations for Palermo because there is is more to do. That does sound convenient, providing I can find an apartment that shields me from the street noise. That's part of why I thought Recoleta might be better, but perhaps not by much?
It is difficult to strike a balance between fun and peaceful, and I find the noise level has more to do with the building than anything (tower apt., double pane windows, etc.).
On past trips I've relied on Trip Advisor heavily, and in some places Yelp or Foursquare. If there are others please let me know. And especially any guidebooks that covers culture, etiquette, etc. Thanks again!
