Privados in Caballito\Flores?
Does anybody know of any privado's around Caballito or Flores?
I'm going to be living around this area and hope there are a few around.
Most of what I've seen listed here seems to be around Recoleta and Micro Centro.
I'm new to the city and would really appreciate any info on either where these are or how to find them.
Thanks

[QUOTE=Aqualung; 429406]TL, you don't even know where Bajo Flores is. Hahahahahaha.
Flores and Caballito area are really nice. As safe as Recoleta or Microcentro any day. The Rivadavia avenue cuts BA in half. The more North you go the nicer, the more South the more dangerous.
All the streets change names at Rivadavia. The streets grow South from 0 with one name and North from 0 with another name. For example, crossing Rivadavia t the 7400 number you have an important Avenue. South of Rivadavia it's called San Pedrito and North it's called Nazca. So San Pedrito between numbers 1 and 100 is one block South from Rivadavia, from 100 to 200 is two blocks South from Rivadavia and so on. The same for Nazca. Nazca 150 would be one and a half blocks from Rivadavia going North.
Rivadavia's numbering grows towards the West. 0 is East (Down by the River Plate) and it grows West to 11, 700. This is the border (General Paz freeway) between The federal city (Capital Federal) and the province of Buenos Aires. The last town in Capital is Liniers and the the first town crossing General Paz is Ciudadela and then Ramos Mejia. Both Liniers and Ciudadela can be rather rough. Ramos Mejia is quite decent and at one time it was the 'disco' capital of Argentina. (still a lot of dance clubs there and many really nice pubs etc)
The Sarmiento railway runs parallel to Rivadavia (one block North) so not all the streets crossing the avenue have a level crossing. You may have to find a crossing and then double back searching for the street you were originally on.
Going back to your original question. Yes, there are many privados in the area but they are mostly hit and miss. You'll find flyers stuck to most telephone booths with numbers and if you Google 'privados' or 'masajes' you'll find hundreds. None have been sampled by AP clients so you won't find much info here so your experience can be valuable to the members.
If you are not the experimental type, the 'subway' or underground' will take you into the middle of town in about 25 minutes. I think the A line gives up at about 11pm but there are many buses such as the 86 that run all night.[/QUOTE]Of course he can try on his own but he should let a Pro show him around town, I am always more than willing to help the newbies out when they arrive; If it's just a few pointers or if they want room service there is never a charge but if I have to get out of bed and sweat in this miserable climate then somebody has to pay for my time. Actually the saying is if someone is going to make me wake up early then somebody has to pay. (A very rich and famous American said that 60 year's ago and it makes a lot of sense today.) Maybe Dale Carnegie?
How much? About $10. 00 lousy dollars an hour to make you Hollar and SAVE you money without wasting time or getting fucked without a kiss.
Now Aqualung, you say that ALL streets change names at Rivadavia, one of them does NOT! Do you know which one it is?
