Shitty neigborhood close to Constitución. I avoid it during daylight and I'm a native from BsAs, do not dress like a tourist or speak gringo. My job involves weekly visits nearby and I walk fast and stop for no one.

Wouldn't count much on safety deposit boxes or bringing any valuables there. Couldn't think of a worse place to lodge unless you want to get even closer to the train station.

Boca is worse though

i used to work nights at a hostel at humberto primo and piedras. 2006ish even if stuff was locked up and tied down it would be nicked inside, outside we had a guy shot in the leg, and multiple muggings..

BA soho rooms. great location and very very safe. on the top floor they have 3 private rooms and en suite bathrooms and on the bottom floor they have 3 bedrooms and 2 bathrooms (the 3 bedrooms share the 2 bathrooms). i believe the rooms with the shared bathrooms are around $30/night and the upstairs rooms with private bathroom around $70. the building is beautiful, very clean, very safe and the owners are the best. also, they will negotiate price with you.
