Magdalena is a gorgeous and welcoming person, and allows you to feel immediately at home in her apartment. The apartment is large, very comfortable and extremely well situated to take advantage of the best the Buenos Aires has to offer, as it is in the best part of one of the trendiest areas of the city.
San Telmo has emerged as one of he hippest parts of BA with large markets starting just around the corner from Magdalena’s apartment, every Sunday, and many cafes restaurants and bars to explore – not to mention excellent boutique shopping. Magdalena’s place is an easy walk to the CBD and is right next to the “old” part of town (La Boca), and the “new” part of town (the very modern and luxurious Puerto Madero).
Magdalena has a very friendly Labrador dog, and a reasonably friendly cat, so you will need to be OK with pets. The apartment has a very homely feel, and Magdalena is a wonderful host who while very busy with her work, is always happy to chat with you and make very savvy recommendations as to what to see and do in Buenos Aires.
If I spend any more time in BA during this trip, I would be happy to stay with Magdalena again!
