Hey, Michael (hezulltogo)!
You started this, why don't you explain what you meant to say and where you got the info from?
There are other parts of your post I disagree with. One example is the part where you say we are "a third world country".
I would call us an underdeveloped country that sometimes feels developed and sometimes feels third world. LOL!!!

I will say this:
Look both ways before crossing a street in Buenos Aires. Look again. Make sure you allow ample time. Drivers frequently speed and ignore basic rules of the road for turns, merging, and so forth.
It hardly matters if you are run down in a city that is number one in tgraffic fatalities by %, by total numbers or whatever. Dead is dead.
Ten Cuidado y Suerte.

There is no doubt that pedestrians need to be extremely careful in Argentina. Unless an intersection has a traffic light, drivers do not stop. Cars do not cede to pedestrians or to give drivers coming from the opposite direction a turn to cross.
When we drove in the Lakes District, cars routinely passed on a double yellow line.

as for the OP's original question, we stayed in Palermo Hollywood and Soho, at Home and Mine respectively, and found the only "attitude" was one of helpfulness!!
Palermo Soho is wonderful for wandering around; the Mine Hotel was a 10-15 minute walk to the subte.
We preferred the location of Mine to Home, but had a slight preference for Home as a hotel.

I would definitely recommend San Telmo for a visit to Buenos Aires. Full of history, artists, and tango, there is always something new to see and you really get the authentic Buenos Aires feel in this area. Rayuela Hostel is a great choice and they are very close to the subway.
