Hi everyone,

I just booked my first trip to Buenos Aires (and my very first MR), just a weekend getaway. I arrive on the 1st of August and depart on the 3rd.

I've been reading up on the area, and Palermo sounds like just what I'm looking for. Does anyone have any recommendations for cheap stays and good eats in that area? Or well, anything really! I've never been south of Mexico, so this is exciting and I'm open to just about anything.

I'm 33, female, and will be travelling alone. I live in Montreal so I'm used to getting around by metro, and tend to avoid the noisy nightlife. I'd much rather have a nice dinner, a few drinks, and get up for an early breakfast than stay out all night and party.
