I feel safe, but I also move around cautiously. I'm aware. Policemen are everywhere and their presence is reassuring. I live here and have never experienced anything dangerous. However, I stay observant and not distracted. Public transport is safe.

buenos Aires is a very big city. Specially when you are in the center of the city, take care of your personal items and pockets. Be aware or your phone mostly. People are very friendly and will always be available to help you

I traveled alone and I think it's very safe. But of course, we always have to stay wake up. You have to stay in the center, where are the tourists. I didn't like to be some streets far because there are no people

Quilmes Oeste
You are in Latin America. You hace to be careful. I am 30 mins away from downtown Buenos Aires, the city is pretty safe for tourists. Buy Quilmes is not a tourist area so you have to be more careful but I am up to help you move around.

A small town, surrounded by mountains and rivers, during the day it is quiet and safe, at night you will find a little insecurity but in general it is quiet. You just have to pay attention to your things and the places where you decide to walk

Benavídez
Benavidez is not very safe. I wouldn’t walk alone at night in the public street, because I would be afraid. I live in Club Newman, which is a neighborhood surrounded by guards, so it is very safe, and you can walk very relaxed.

Like any Big city, Buenos Aires can be crowded and there can be pickpocketters. Overall if You stay in the Nice neighborhoods like Palermo, Colegiales and nearby, there are lots of policemen, so there shouldn't be a problem.

Pinamar
Next to the Beach City. One of the safest in Argentina. Many tourists in summer but safe in general. Far from the center places could be a little dangerous at late times. Local people are nice and willing to help.

I believe that Buenos Aires can be dangerous, but it all depends on the area and the time. There are places where it is recommended to be very attentive at any time of the day. And there are also places where it is preferable not to walk alone at night. But there are also very calm areas.

I live in a rather peaceful and educated area, the people there are quite friendly, but the economic situation creates lots of needs to steal :( I never got anything stolen yet though, but a lot of people I know had this experience. Now, if you are careful nothing shall happen ^^
