Planning my first trip to Argentina. Read through the older threads but wanted to check if info is still current.

My main questions:
1. Best area to stay for easy access to the scene?
2. Realistic daily budget including accommodation?
3. Any areas to avoid?
4. How is the quality compared to Czech Republic?
5. Any apps to use before arriving?

Coming from Canada with experience in Europe but first time in Argentina.

Any recent reports or recommendations appreciated. Thanks!

Word of caution — watch out for taxi scams at the airport. Other than that, great destination.

Different experience for me. Prices were higher when I went.

Did you use an agency or find girls at clubs?

Quick question — how was the transport?

Been there 12 times now. Still one of my top destinations. The consistency is what keeps me coming back.
