i had a great time at magdalenas place! i stayed there for one month and felt at home after a few days. magda is a very warm-hearted, helpful and interesting woman. she knows a lot about buenos aires and the history of argentina. i loved talking to her and listening to her stories.
the apartment is very well situated, only one block from famous plaza dorrego. there are a lot of collectivos passing around the corner and even by foot it only takes you about 20 minutes to eg plaza 25 de mayo.
there are a couple nice bars and cafes around in this area. if you want to you can use magdalenas kitchen and cook yourself.
i highly recommend magdalenas apartment, especially to people who prefer to live in a charmful and interesting than in a sterile and boring place! (you have to like cats and dogs though...)
muchas gracias para todo, magda!
