We had a wonderful time in Buenos Aires and were so grateful to be staying with Irina. Her and her family were so hospitable and welcoming. They were eager to give us tips on how to make the most of Buenos Aires. They also saved us from a giant travel headache! Our flight out of Buenos Aires was scheduled at 7 am the morning of a nation-wide union shutdown, which included flight cancelations and road closures. If we hadn't been staying with a local family, we would not have known about the impending shutdown. Thanks to their insights and assistance, we were able to make last minute travel changes. We were so grateful for their help and recommend their cute apartment. It is more like a small hostel with several different travelers staying there as well. There is a great community space for socializing while the rooms are nice and quiet. It was very clean and communicating with Irina was a breeze!
