Radio Taxis in Buenos Aires
Safety Tips
Hail a radio taxi – indicated by the sign on roof and on doors. Radio taxis are generally considered safe. Also, don’t accept rides in older, beaten up taxis, the locals won't, so why should you. And, if it is hot, and the taxi has the windows open, don’t get in; wait for a radio taxi with the air conditioning turned on.
Know how far you are traveling as measured by blocks. Radio taxi drivers need to know the street address of your Buenos Aires apartment rental, which is always the street name first then the number – for example Bulnes 2559, or nearest cross street - for example Bulnes and Las Heras.
Always have small peso bills to pay the taxi driver, 20 peso bills and lower. A radio taxi driver will throw you under the bus if you try to pay the fare with a 50 or 100 peso note. Watch out for false bills given as change. Taxi drivers are known for passing fake bills.

Subway - Subte - Metro in Buenos Aires
Buenos Aires has six subway lines: A, B, C, D, E and H. Two subways lines are currently being extended and the H line, which is brand new and relatively short, is also being extended. The city government would like to expand the subway network, but due to political differences with the president those plans are on hold.
The Buenos Aires subway system is called subte by the locals. It is the oldest subway system in South America. The A line was built in 1918 and is considered a historical treasure and features original wood subway cars with turn of the century lamps.
Buenos Aires subways are very crowded during rush hour. They do not run 24 hours and are often subject to slow downs or complete shut down due to union protests.
Buenos Aires subte passes can be purchased in multiples of 5 or 10 trips and eliminate the hassle of standing in line at the ticket booth for each trip.

Buenos Aires Apartment Rentals Customer Reviews May 9, 2011 We loved the atmosphere and styling of The Haven. The hardwood floors, colors, lighting, and especially the quality of the bed and linens were much appreciated. Plaza Libertad in front of apartment The Haven was a welcome and convenient park for some fresh-air, with shops, cafe's, restaurants, and bars very accessible. From The Haven, we actually walked to Recoleta, Puerto Madero, and Palermo Viejo. Palermo Viejo was a lengthy walk (we like to walk), but the fact that they were all possible from The Haven worked perfectly for us. I am a former vacation-rental condo owner on Maui, so I know a bit about setting the stage for a good experience with condo-renters. Yours was the best I've ever seen. Augusto was from the moment I called him from the airport, friendly and helpful. He was there on time for check-in and departure. His explanations of amenities, how to use them, local area information, his willingness to quickly arrange a cab to the airport, his accessibility should we have a problem (we didn't have any problems), were all excellent. A quality operation. Nick - Dallas, TX February 28, 2011
The reservation process for Bulnes Rio was great! The website is fine; that's why I went with your company. The check in and check out went smoothly; no complaints or suggestions. Thanks for a lovely stay. Michael Selman - Texas January 17, 2010 Hi Mark, Just a quick note to say thanks and that we had an amazing time in Buenos Aires and really loved apartment The Haven and the location as you had said was perfect… Olga - Ireland January 15, 2010 We LOVED staying at apartment The Haven. Our only suggestion would be to leave a few cleaning supplies so that we could wipe down the bathroom and kitchen.
L.B. - California Jan. 7, 2010 Our group really liked apartment Corrientes. I was also really impressed with the man who met us for check in and check out. He was friendly, professional and spoke excellent English. K.
