I never understood people that chose to live in Hotels until I became one of them. After living on Avenida Independencia for 5 weeks in Bs As, I wanted to try something else. I spent much of last week looking at random apartments and trying to get a feel for the different neighborhoods - their prices, the kinds of apartments they offer, and whether or not it would be worth it for me to move into an apartment for only 5 weeks.
Well, there were a bunch of options, but they all reminded me of very sad apartments in NYC - too small, with every millimeter of space being used for something - and old as hell. Creaky to the point that you wonder if the mice have eaten away the support beams. So I was pretty disheartened when Matías suggested we look into his discount at the local Hotel for people in the Navy (no matter what country they're from).
Suddenly, I have a fancy schmancy room in a hotel for the price of a hostel in the city here.... I have to pay about $350 for 5 weeks. That ROCKS. I was paying $100/week in my homestay, so I'm saving money, AND I get this am-MAZ-ing breakfast every day. My life is awesome. I'm living like a princess. whoo hoooo.
