I highly recommend staying with Claudia. When I arrived, she took time to show me around the area and help me get oriented. Claudia is kind, helpful and knowledgeable - I really appreciated our conversations. Her house is in a safe neighborhood and there’s an excellent restaurant next door, Los Amigos de Siempre. It’s quiet even though the major avenue Cabildo is nearby. The room is comfortable and the bathroom is convenient plus there’s a hot shower ! Also, there’s a fridge and cutlery plus a kettle for guest use downstairs. All in all, it’s a great way to get situated in Buenos Aires and overcome jet lag before venturing out in the city.
There are 2 cats but they keep to themselves, in case you have concerns about allergies, as do I … By the way, the house is built solidly and the gate entrance and front door is secure. I didn’t get to use the upstairs veranda which looked inviting in the sun but would next time I come !
