Staying at Agustin's family's place was a highlight my trip to Buenos Aires. Their house is incredible, oozing charm and what the locals call "buena onda" (good vibes) because of the lovely family living there.

It's very central, next to countless bus stops and a subway stop, and a walk away from Recoleta Cemetery and some of the best museums. And yet it's a huge house, with a vast, green terrace, perfect to while away the sultry days.

While the buildings around it are modern, this is old and charming, lovingly decorated with beautiful furniture. It was like a treasure trove, everywhere I walked I would find another beautiful thing.
The room is actually the house's master bedroom, and as such is really spacious and pretty.

But the main attraction of this place is Agustin's family, who's really lovely, genuinely cares about you having a good stay and treats you like a family friend, for example inviting you to barbecues on the roof terrace. I really felt like I was at home away from home. I ended up having my Spanish lessons in one of the living rooms in the mornings, and on one occasion Agustin's parents eagerly helped me concoct an outfit for a costume party I was going to! I was very sad to leave.

Incidentally they rent two rooms, so on top of hanging out with the family, you might also end up chatting with other travelers, which can be cool too.
