Sofia is a great host. She is a traveller herself and loves to hear and share stories. She speaks great English and was patient with my poor Spanish. It was very easy to feel at home at Sofia's place. Sofia gives you privacy and the apartment is quiet. The street below can be a little noisy, but it is in the centre of a busy neighbourhood.
The room is bright and sunny with lots of closet space. The bathroom is clean with plenty of hot water.
The neighbourhood is lively and young with lots of students. There is all kinds of food shopping and Ave. Santa Fe is just down the block for other kinds of shopping and the subte. The apartment is a great central location for exploring Recoleta, Almagro, Abasto, and Palermo. The park nearby is a great city park.
The dogs are pleasant and quiet. They are an odd couple as one is a goofy puppy and one is an old Buddha.
I would recommend Sofia's place for travellers looking for authentic people and authentic experiences.
