Tripadvisor’s approach to reviews

Before posting, each Tripadvisor review goes through an automated tracking system, which collects information, answering the following questions: how, what, where and when. If the system detects something that potentially contradicts our community guidelines, the review is not published.

When the system detects a problem, a review may be automatically rejected, sent to the reviewer for validation, or manually reviewed by our team of content specialists, who work 24/7 to maintain the quality of the reviews on our site.

Our team checks each review posted on the site disputed by our community as not meeting our community guidelines.

Antigua Buenos Aires

Sept 2016 • Couples

Casa de dos pisos que mantiene la arquitectura de la Buenos Aires de antaño. Esta en Defensa y Alsina, frente a la Basilica de San Francisco. Vale la pena pasar por el lugar y admirarla.

Frente a la Basílica de San Francisco

Jan 2016 • Couples

A una cuadra de la Plaza de Mayo, en Defensa y Alsina, encontamos esta casa tal vez la única de dos plantas que todavía se encuentra en pie y una de las pocas sin ochava que quedan en la ciudad. Fue construida en la época post.colonial, entre 1812 y 1820 para Juan Bautista Elorriaga. Está ubicada frente a la famosa e histórica Farmacia de la Estrella y en diagonal a la Basílica de San Francisco. Por la calle Defensa también se encuentra, a pocos metros, el Museo de la Ciudad. Desde su mirador podía verse el río en la época de su construcción

Antigua vivienda de dos plantas

Feb 2016 • Couples

Esta vivienda ubicada en el casco histórico de la ciudad fue construida alrededor de 1812. Es la vivienda más antigua de dos plantas de la ciudad de Buenos Aires y una de las pocas en esquina que no posee ochava. En la planta baja se ubicaban locales comerciales y en el piso superior, que posee pequeños balcones, viviendas
El edificio fue declarado Monumento Histórico en el año 1997 y fue restaurado hace unos años, ya que se encontraba en deplorable estado.
Actualmente se encuentra cerrada y se observan deterioros en sus fachadas, perteneciendo al patrimonio del Museo de la Ciudad.

Esquina a puro street art

Oct 2018

Desde al año pasado las paredes de esta antigua casona ubicada en la esquina de la calles Defensa y Alsina conocida como "Altos de Elorriaga" se han convertido en un lienzo para muralistas del arte callejero. Cada tanto se van renovando los murales y es una propuesta que me gusta mucho: conservar el patrimonio histórico con un toque artístico.

Ochava

June 2017 • Couples

Fue una vivienda particular que le perteneció a Juan Bautista Elorriaga. Fue construida entre 1812 y 1820 y es una de las pocas esquinas de la ciudad con una ochava.
Más allá de eso, no tiene mucho más para ver.

Altos de Elorriaga

Oct 2015 • Solo

Una de las primeras casas construida en dos plantas, hoy es una de las pocas esquinas que no tienen la ochava reglamentaria. En sus locales de abajo habia comercios y la planta alta, habitaciones para alquiler. Data de 1808
