We were greeted by Magdalena's mother, María, who lives on an upper floor of the same building. She was welcoming and gracious and explained much to us in Spanish. I don't think she speaks English. Fortunately I understood almost every thing she told me from the nearest pastry shop, to how to lock the doors properly to how to run the washing machine.

The apartment was as advertised. It was clean and comfortable. For Americans, one needs to remember that it is not American style. For example the second shower is like on a boat or some RVs where the shower head gets the entire bathroom wet. No big deal, but it required using a floor squeegee to get the water out of the laundry area and down the drain in the bathroom.

Six of us stayed there comfortably and would all stay there again for sure. The kitchen facilities were spacious and well stocked.

The location was about 5-6 blocks from a subway (Subte) station and in a nice location quite near the ritzy area of town. It was very noisy, but that comes with staying in a big city--and Buenos Aires is huge.

The apartment is within walking distance of a great breakfast place, good restaurants, small and large grocery stores and an amazing American style shopping mall.

The Wifi was the best we found in our 3 1/2 weeks in South America which pleased us all very much. And another neighbor spoke fluent English and was very kind and helpful when I had a taxi company hang up on me when we couldn't communicate successfully.

We all would highly recommend this apartment. Thanx Magdalena and María!
