For the price, this place was good. Close to one of the subway lines, Medrano station (B or red line), clean bathroom, and a comfortable bed (soft mattress, may not be good for those with a bad back, but fine for me). It was a secure location with private entry. 2nd floor, street level locked entry, up a private staircase, another locking thick glass apartment door, and a locking bedroom door (good for those who may feel nervous about sleeping soundly in a foreign country). Karina provided a clean towel for showering. WiFi was available. It worked about 85% of the time during my 16 night stay. It would stop working sometimes throughout the day and evening for periods of time. Not a router issue, but an ISP issue. I was told this could be common throughout Buenos Aires. Internet access was very important to me during this trip because I was travelling for school and writing a research paper which required an extensive use of Internet, but when it didn't work I resolved the issue by using free WiFi available at the McDonald's 3 blocks away at Avenida Corrientes or at Grotto on the same block, a nicer restaurant. Many restaurants/business throughout Buenos Aires have free WiFi, which helped. The kitchen has a medium sized fridge, sink, toaster oven, and twin hot plates. It's a bit small but nothing you can't get used to. I didn't do any heavy cooking. Mostly cold foods, drinks, take-out, and restaurants. The neighborhood is mostly locals as far as I could tell. Not many tourists. English was not widely spoken in the shops I entered. If your Spanish is not good, it may be difficult. I speak enough Spanish to get by. Didn't have any problems making purchases for basic items and food. Try to speak the local language where ever you travel. It's respectful!!! The pizza shop 1 block to the left when exiting the building "Pizza de Antes" was good and the staff friendly. It's not at all like pizza in the States, which I expected, but good. Gelato shops are everywhere and really good! Like other reviews mentioned...yes, the street is very noisy. I knew this going in. I'm from NYC and used to the noise, but if you're a light sleeper, it may be a problem. Also on some evenings you could hear loud drumming from a neighborhood band playing from the park down the block "Plaza Almagro." It's a good beat and entertaining, but it does go on for an hour or so. Overall, it wasn't a flawless stay, but for the price, very good. Also, Karina was very accommodating when I was arriving. I had some difficulties travelling (delayed flights and exiting the airport). I kept in contact with her frequently to update her regarding my whereabouts so she still knew I was coming. She waited for me patiently until I arrived to give me the keys and to show me around the apartment. I'd stay here...
