Posts: 5Thanks again for all the info. I've studied the maps and plan to walk as much as possible (for exercise's sake if nothing else).
I have no doubt I'll find the place, my only concern was, will I be able to explain what I need when I get there. Or is it enough to just show some dollars and say "cambio"?

I have yet to encounter an Argie cabby who spoke any English, during my 30 or so visits to Bs As. However, as the guys who have met me in Bs As can attest, my Spanish skills are abysmal. I haven't had any problem with any cabby, so far. However, it is to your benefit to familiarize yourself with the map of the city, major roads, intersections and landmarks (e.g. Florida, Ste Fe, Recoleta Cemetery, etc).
If you are getting near your destination and the driver starts babbling and pointing with his finger (towards the far side of the intersection) you can tell him "here" by saying "aqui" (pronounced "ah-key") or "there" by saying "alli" (pronounced "ah-ghee").

Posts: 746If you are close enough to walk all you should need is a map. If you use a cab write down the intersection and show that to the driver. His meter will display the fare. He might ask you something, like which side of the street, but it shouldn't be anything critical and they are used to passengers which don't speak Spanish.

I don't recall any sign on the cueva, but it's next door to the Freddo's which does have a prominent sign. (Freddo is a chain of ice cream parlors here.) As you are facing Freddo's it's to the left. You have to push a buzzer to the left of the door to be let in. The door is glass and I think that the entire front of the place is glass and you can see two tellers' windows through the door / window.

Posts: 5Scalabrini Ortiz & Cerviņo. Specifics?
I'll be visiting BsAs in a couple of weeks and it's clear after reading this forum that "cuevas" are the place to exchange money.
I see this particular one mentioned quite a lot, and I will be staying in the vicinity of that intersection (Scalabrini Ortiz & Cerviņo). But how do I find this cueva? I assume there are lots of storefronts on all 4 corners of that intersection. Feel free to PM if this info is too sensitive for a public forum.
Thanks in advance.
