Magdelena lives in one of those old Buenos Aires houses of past glory. The area is perfect and indeed close to many places in San Telmo to visit. The upstairs room with bathroom is cosy, very very small and if you are a person of a larger size you may find the stairs hard to ascend and bed very tiny so perhaps ask for the downstairs room. It's very sweet however, there's a heater and the shower flows well! As it is above the kitchen and with the open spiral staircase you can hear all kitchen sounds (in case you're a light sleeper) Magdelena is very gracious and interesting which I could gather from the books around but unfortunately as I speak no Spanish I couldn't communicate at all as she speaks no English. So sadly I couldn't tap in to her resources for eating places, cafes or any special tips on places to go. As previously stated in another review, wifi doesn't reach to the upstairs so you must come down and along to the living room to use it. It's was lovely to have the dog Lola there, she's super friendly and as I missed my dog I was so happy to have her cuddles!
