Pasaje La Defensa

Casa de los Ezeiza

This used to be a tenement where poor families settled after a yellow fever epidemic hit Buenos Aires and resulted in the rich moving to the north part of the city (today Recoleta and Retiro). It has been restored but the paint is peeling and the building has a charmingly dilapidated feel. It is crammed full of antique, bric a brac and food shops. It is a very different building to El Solar de French mentioned below but they are both great to visit.
